Can I get a replay analysis on this? I really don't understand how we lost this, and obviously I didn't watch every move of the other lanes.
Basically the whole game was lost in 10 minutes. We had literally no vision on the map, wards were consatantly out of stock. We got dewarded so we never had vision. Every other lane lost and then they ganked me too and I couldn't do a damn thing about it as nowhere was safe. Even base wasn't safe because NP TP'd in to snipe me when I got out with no health.
Bloodseeker goes Midas against a Faceless Void. He got it in 6 minutes, that's great, except we needed to midgame these guys and we lost any chance of that early.

Mek is for scrubs, Blink and Aghanims are where it's at.
Sixghost and Milkman/Artisinx are our resident Meepoers. I play a decent Meepo myself, but those guys are much better at it.

Good old AusDota. This is what happens when you fuck around for long enough to let a PL get superfarmed (fortunately I was green team)
The initial green bump was because they had Ursa/WK which is the most obvious "we're doing Lvl 1 Roshan" in the world so we caught them out there. After that we threw for a little while then just ran over them.
Also it was a 3 stack/2 solos (me) vs 5-stack game so that's why I'm bragging about it.

Midas isn't necessarily terrible on BS, but if you're going for one you are basically comitting to an aggressive carry position, which Blade Mail doesn't exactly fit into. BS is one of the few heroes I can justify SnY on, but Blade Mail literally has no place against that lineup (who can easily get the jump on him before he even gets it activated). Your lineup went pushing/farming, theirs clearly went early game ganks, and it paid off.

I'm working on my carry naga right now. Whats a good time to get radiance up? I know some people bottle crow to try an spam illusions into the jungle, but that is a bit beyond my comfort zone. Should I bother trying to even play hard carry naga if I'm not willing to do it with bottle crow?
You'll never get better if you don't stretch beyond your comfort zone.
(I have no Naga specific tips for you)

Bottle Crow is tough in pub games.

Yeah it's just not practical unless you've got a five stack and I rarely seem to these days.
Just watching the ESL finals. Who's the French(?) guy with the dark hair on the panel?

I'm in love
He does have the boyband look nailed tbf.
Why would they let the players use a beta machine that could possibly jeopardize the event instead of what is working great for years?

Any prediction tips? I went 36 out of 100 last time. I was hoping to do better. Do you still think Treant will get picked most and Batrider least?
Repick that random.
Yay favorite hero challenge done. 10 Meepo wins. When Valve first said pick your fav hero they didn't mention win 10 times with him, so when I found out I was like... oh. But luckily it turned out fine.
Didn't get blink as much because I felt rusty with it and just wanted to tank up. I've done every compendium thing possible now! Ready for international.

Currently I find myself watching 2GD's games and learning his Silencer.
He's good. 5050 MMR.

You say that now
That's 75% of games I play right now.
Not the all int heroes part, but the co-ordinated deathball push is basically the strategy du jour at the moment. I'm still trying to figure out how to beat it. People say split push, but if they're a roaming kill squad they just murder someone who's pushing and then barrel down that lane and take a tower or two. One person can't take a tower faster than four or five :/
Eh, it's about having better late game and stalling as long as possible. The reason the deathball gets the advantage is through tower gold and killing people who try to defend towers themselves. A hero like kotl, wr, mag, any long range wave clearer can delay the push whilst say a weaver gets you a couple of towers as well. Even if they are taking towers faster than you, if you have all their T1s by the time they reach highground then you should have enough gold to stage a defense. Of course, this all depends on how laning went.
You can restart Dota and still have the option to rejoin the game when you open it back up. If you can't reconnect to it though and it's not your connection there is a chance the game is dead for everyone.
Thanks, I was close, but was trying "dotafire" instead.

There is a bug that is crashing shit and people are trying to grief with it. So it might be that too

Yeah I was in a game before and everyone but me dc'd at some point during the game.
I get the feeling these 2 get the best along with each other on EG.
Also, why is puppey so srs? like even xbox manliness can occasionally crack into a smile.

It's karma for all the Alladin shit he's been tweeting
I don't think I've ever seen another facial expression than smiling and smirking on XBOX's face.

doom is my go to for easy wins as well but I feel like instant picking him is almost a loss considering most people wait till the last second to do picks.
I played enigma for the second time probably yesterday and I landed a 5 man black hole. THAT was pretty awesome

One dude I play with is actually pretty damn good at running mid Broodmother. Enemy team laughs when they see it, ten minutes later she's pushing on their T3
