Definitely a post I'll be referring all my friends to to give them a intro to dota 2 when we eventually get into beta. Good read!

Nice write up explaining the basic concepts of DOTA, I have quite a few friends that are interested in picking up DOTA2 when the game launches and I will recommend that they read this to get some of the basics down!

Nice, exactly what the dota community needs in order to stay alive, instead of killing anyone who even attempts to learn the game

Very nice guide, always a treat to read such thorough works.

As a question, do you think you or flamewheel will be writing up a guide on hero roles (initiation, carry, support/babysit, etc), and/or proper laning (special focus on playing mid, obviously slightly different based on hero but I feel like people need to know to control runes/gank appropriately)? Would love to read a thorough version, and I know it'll help out the community that is new to dota. :D

And of course, fingers crossed for a key!

I've already written a blog about the different types of heroes. :-)

Tbh i came for only the key, at first place, but then i read your blog and i think these kind of information is a must for new players.
Well done

Nice guide section of Roshan, didn't know he had so many skills! How long did it take to make this guide? 10 hours?

Never could get into HoN, but I loved Dota, so this game will be interesting for sure! I'm guessing I'm not gonna like it as much as I did Dota (and the wc3 engine), but definitely gonna give it a shot.

Key would be awesome indeed!

I've fascinated by your pulling guide and you are so good at it. I really want a beta key so if you could hand out one to me that would be perfect!

Oh great, I'll have to look that up then. :D

I could only find the one discussing supports, which did indeed reference to a previous blog being about lineups, and I'm assuming that's the one where you discuss overall roles. I'll dig it up and give it a read, thanks!

Edit: found it! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=276896

There's the link for anyone interested.

Thanks for another awesome guide Bumblebee! I'd really love to see a detailed guide on Omni-knight too, as it is one of my favorite heroes for sure.
I didn't knew about that double pull before now so I thank you for your wisdom it is highly appreciated. And that you have taken the time to do youtube recordings too that's just sick, you and flame wheel are doing so many and awesome dota 2 guides its sick, I really hope I can play you sometime when ever I get a key.
I had the chance to test dota 2 at Gamex in stockholm today which was really awesome, played both as witch doctor and anti-mage in 2 games, felt sooooo gooooood!
