Man Korok. Really would like if he had an early point in essence shift. Could have easily netted him some kills. You don't need to max it early or anything - one point by 4 is good enough most of the time. You don't really have the health pool to support dark pact too much early anyway.
 
Oh yeah btw - So I need seat fillers at my wedding. Open bar, brunch food (salmon crepes, parfaits, pigs-in-the-blanket, and bacon quiche) and we can play some dotes during the reception if we get enough for 5v5. Will be the highlight of the day FO SHO!


In Texas, June 1.

Can you pay for my flight?

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
All these DOTAGAF weddings.

How would your fiancee feel about 10-man LANs at your wedding reception anyway?

Can someone recommend a good carry to learn after Sniper? I'm having so much fun, but unless the other team pulls off a few very elaborate team ganks, I'm currently snowballing and running the table in every single game I play as him in my trash bracket.

I've been having fun with Weaver, Spectre (my favourite) and OD...

Like has been said Lifestealer is a good call...just good in every segment of a game...also Troll Warlord can be disgustingly good...

Try out Phantom Assassin, I just started forcing myself to play carries as well and have had decent success with her + she's lots of fun when you start snowballing. Use stifling dagger for last hitting if you need to, but her last hit animation is already pretty good. A free target blink spell also gives you initiation + juking which is just great. Getting all up in the enemies face and getting those crits are so satisfying.
 
Why the fuck do people think they have the absolute truth in this game?
I was using Drow and I had my Treads on STR, and some stupid a**hole was insulting me just because I didn't change my Treads to AGI.
Is it wrong that early game I prefer more HP over Attack Speed? Because 85% of the matches, that build is a success.

Because people are stubborn. There should at least be some rhyme or reason for your item builds but some people are set on believing that there are only "right" ways to item build your hero.


Also, BAMBOOOEEEEEE

Ok now they said it on the stream, it's 1:1.

All these streamers should show the current score somewhere for people like me who tune in later.
 
Korok's Slark build was still a bit questionable though. Not sure about the Shadow Blade. Ethereal Blade made sense vs. PA, but I still think that one's a little lulzy especially considering how close the game was.

I look forward to the next video Fear puts out now. Probably can have a complete demon throwlist by the week's end. Sad though PA is fun to watch and verse slark so unusual.

Well the Slark definitely beats (or at least matches) the Batrider if you have magic stick/wand. That was primarily what it was to counter, being able to purge off the napalm in laning. Hell he could have killed him once or twice with an early point in essence shift instead of the extra in dark pact with the pseudo life-leech and stat gain for yourself. Skywrath should also dunk on bat with a wand (free mana for more spells? yes please), which was why EG banned him/picked bat without him in the pool.

BTW the whole Compendium idea is genius, I wonder if they will let other tourneys use something like that down the line.

Also since when is Wisp Io?
