What do you do when you get a hero like Rubick or Invoker that has to use Q?

You change it to Alt+Q. At least that's what I do as a guy who also uses q for items.

Nice interview! Some random questions, which come into my mind:
- What's your most liked hero? In terms of design and spell synergies for example.
- What equipment and settings do you use (mouse, keyboard, high/low graphics)?
- Are there any other games you are playing or you are interested in, or do you focus on Dota2 only?
- How many hours to you play each day?
- Do you analyze replays?



- Disruptor is such an awesome hero. it has such good synergy with all his spells. you can outskill people and the sky is the limit (except when they get bkbs!)
- mouse- Razer deathadder
- keyboard- blackwidow ultimate stealth
- high graphics

- I have a problem where i get a game and then play a few hours of it and then go back to dota 2. Maybe only a few games that i have stuck through till the end (far cry 3, assassins creed 3, arkham city) I also enjoy watching starcraft 2 streams or tournaments.
- i play about 4-5 hours a day if we are practicing.
- Yes, in the evening i try to watch a few replays from what we practiced to see my own mistakes, how i was doing in my laning, etc.

Thank you for answering my questions and for doing this Q&A in general. Good luck for your upcoming matches.

Quick power ranking of dota 2 teams both asian and western

6. dignitas

8. eg
9. nth
10. dd.
don't know too much about rox kis and stuff but if they play as well as they did vs empire, they could be a top 6 potential

asian-
1. ig
2. lgd int
3. lgd/dk
4. tongfu
5. orange
6. zenith
7. vg

sorry if i forgot a team here or there.


Only problem i have with this list is while i agree you are the top team with fnatic you havent consistently beat navi, empire and VP like fnatic have (though you havent had the chance since you are excluded from the european tournaments)

After the Defense and Premier league we might have a clearer picture.

oh he is and im sure that they are the number 1 team but i just went over their recent series and they have fnatic beaten 2-1 over the 3 series they have played. VP have them 2-1 and Navi has them 1-0

no way this power ranking means anything. tbh we have the hardest time versus both VP and empire. VP especially atm. id say any of the top 6 teams can beat each other and this doesnt mean much.

kind of the same basis as storm but different. the aura is a factor in tinker-od. the hero is also strong versus certain carries like luna.

First question.

Would you rather:

A: Dance in the rain.
B: Ride on the train.
C: Feel no pain.

First thing that comes to you.

Hey bulba, just wanna say I'm a big fan and I was ecstatic that you guys got picked up by non other but liquid, my favorite team.

My questions:
1.) When/if you played SC2, what league were you, what race ?
2.) What players would ideal dota 2 team have for each position (out of currently active players)?
So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.

- Yes, its awesome. hotbid says the funniest stuff in our team chat on skype. everyone is really supportive and its cool to know that players u watched play for years (TLO, nony, etc) watch your games now too. tlo said he liked my tp to kill batrider yesterday in the mouz game and that made me smile :D
- as for the actual team, i love it. everyone is so dedicated and this is a new one for me. if i am going to spend most of my team playing dota competitively, i want it to be with people that are as committed as me. we have all become good friends also.
- Im really good friends with funzii, socks, and Mad. We met and hung out a lot at Dreamhack summer last year and ti2. I also chilled with them at ESWC when i went with dignitas. they are really cool guys and i hope they do well cause fuckingmad is 1 of the smartest dota players i know.

if the other team wants to be really greedy, a zeus support might be legit. the hero gets decent levels on pulls and u do a shit ton of damage with no items. only problem is if the other team aggressive trilanes and u have a zeus support :D

Good choice

Just for fun:


You and TC are captured and locked in seperate cells by an evil ixMike88. You are unable to communicate. ixMike88 appears before both of you and says: "In each of your cells there is a magical button. If you press your button and TC does not, you will die but TC is free to go. If TC presses the button and you do not, he will die but you (Bulba) goes free. If neither you nor TC presses the button, both of you will die. If both of you press the button, both of you will die". IxMike88 then tells you that you have one turn of the hourglass to decide your action, then he leaves.

Do you:

A: Press the button
B: Not press the button
