Who are the top 2 korean players in the world?
I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.

What did you think of your series against mouz and what went wrong game 2 and 3?


I thought game 3 went totally according to plan :p

I would like to know what happened on your skype/raidcall/ventrillo/teamspeak (what do people use these days?) the last 2 minutes of game 3 though

Do you guy try to find kills in the mid game or does it just happen for you? As a team you always seam to find a bunch of relatively easy and quick kills that propel you into an unassailable lead, which is super fun to watch as a fan

Why is mag sometimes not used at all in Western Scene he is often 1st ban material in Chinese Dota. Gyro is also not used at all.

Thoughts on why your team's performance was so lackluster against Mouz, and wasn't it a warning call for you, guys? You kinda avoided the bullet by the skin of your teeth.
What can change the nature of a man?

how was your experience with EG before? what were your weaknesses and strengths as team? i thought you guys could've really won against the Chinese that time.

right now what do you think is wrong with them?

ps. and whos your favorite SC2 player for each race?


strengths- players with experience which helps a lot, fear was a good mentor and demon was quite clutch when he needed 2 be. same with maelk.

weaknesses- lack of practice or the dedication. i want to play or prac at least 5/7 days a week if i am going 2 commit something like this.


the weakness is still the same, also overconfidence. not going 2 dwell too much on this topic

Hey Bulba,

Considering transferring to Chapel Hill after my sophomore year (currently a freshmen at ASU), if I did and joined the e-sports association would you give me a high-five?

Also, how difficult is pol/sci at CH? I'm an Econ/Pol Sci major atm, but pol sci is really easy (i love it though), and i'm considering doing econ and biology. Thoughts?

Thanks for answering these questions :D



Of course but this is my last year at unc i am a senior atm.
Poli sci is quite easy at CH. i slack off a lot but still do well in the classes. Poli 471 was 1 of my fav classes so try to take that. However, try to have another major as well unless ur doing law school or u wanna be a teacher. I took poli sci just cause i was interested in it.

hey bulba

i know you complain a lot about the ancient stacking strat back at dreamhack. however werent you the inventor of the tinker ancient farm stack? like right now you're farming that and korok is farming 3 triple stacks with gyro


There has to be a difference made. The way the teams played at dreamhack was pure pure defensive stacking (nth mostly but also eg and fnatic) . No aggressive trilanes, no smoke ganks. just pulls and stacks
our game yesterday, we had an aggressive trilane but it didnt go so well so we were forced to go into that position. im fine with farming stacks but if ur supports literally just stack 24/7 and do nothing else and are level 2 at 7 min in with no items cause they pooled everything to their cores, that is disgusting. ive told EE this but he doesn't care and its the way he thought was the most optimal for a support to play.
The tinker ancient farm is the best way for the hero to farm. its pointless not to do it. also i stack my own ancient camp most of the time if im mid on radiant and it is an investment into my gold later on. obviously our plan was to put pressure early and not let pl go snowball but things didnt work out.

Bulba you said you gave up on meepo, was it skill that you were lacking? Or meepo's incapability in competitive dota? Mix of both? Do you think he needs some kind of a buff to be able to play him in competitive dota? Or is it just lack of skill in most of the players and because of that not many teams practicing/building strategies around him?

since like 3 people asked me thoughts about the game in succession -

my thoughts:
the game shoulda went a lot better. we were a bit too cocky in our aggressive trilane after seeing replay and we talked about it after. i shouldnt have died top to PL, i got kinda cocky. i shoulda done ancients earlier. i was debating force staff or not but blink is so good on tinker and sd was going force. panda and clock are both good heroes to break base so i had to shoot marches from odd angles and had to play passive which i hate doing.
we saw an opening and went. i had my force and blink and sheep up and saw the panda. clock cogged him in and i got hit by the cogs. i re armed and saw him not using ulti or cheese yet so i just sheeped/ laser/ rocketed him and he died. pl had no buy back and aegis after dying so we just went mid. i cleared bottom wave and kinda knew that we could rax it in time and throne it. we killed the panda and every1 else in their base. no kotl and no clock is big cause they both can kind of distract us long enough. we knew pl would have to either fight us or back door and he couldnt fight us 3v1 becuase of sheep/ and gyro damage
then we all had heart attacks.

If you were to nerf PL, how would you do it without making the hero utterly useless(most broken fucking hero in the game atm imo lol)


uhh honestly dont know. the hero is annoying if he snowballs but thats really easy in pubs. i feel a nerf to tranquils might make him worse and tranquils does need a nerf. maybe nerf his agi gain back a little. its too high

That game was awesome lol. Was the choice of rapier a spur of the moment decision or it was a consensus with the team?


it was needed. no other item could dps them down before they took our raxes.

If you are still answering questions:
What are your views on radiance on phantom lancer?
Thanks


diffusal manta is a lot better. easier to buy and u can farm as fast and be more involved in fights earlier. the agi gain made it so that ur illusions can farm without the radiance buff earlier on. the quelling blade bug made him really imbalanced but now u kinda have to go yasha so ur illusions move faster and get the agi gain earlier and then diffusal.

i answered game 3.
as for game 2, we let them do what they want. am got really farmed. i was stuck not being able to lane vs him beside the occasional rocket/cog harass. panda made us unable to take fights. they had really good initiates on luna and they just got way too much farm. their support gyro had a lothars by 25 min.

you put pressure - > u force them to respond and u kill them. if u dont put pressure or have a threat of pressure, they can do w/e they want and for most western teams, that is farming and playing defensive.
