Normal double pulling: 10 medium camps in 6 minutes. Average 2010 XP, 1180 gold. Rubick jungle: 5 hard camps and 4 easy camps in 6 minutes. Average 1644 XP, 951.5 gold.
Not to mention that jungle Rubick requires you to put a useless ward on the inner high ground, buy Basi, and gets significantly slowed down if you have a Furbolg camp.
Please learn to double pull properly, as it's useful far more often than the Rubick jungle trick.

To be fair in the case of a trilane. You can do this and get this exp on two heroes and end up with a solo laner bot too.

Nothing stops their hard laner from stealing your double pulls then. Your carry can't leave tower because every enemy creep wave pushes into tower, and your support doing the Rubick pull is too far to come stop their hard laner. So their hard laner ends up screwing up your double pulls and stealing a large chunk of the pull XP.
Even in the 3v1 case, it's not better than having both supports securing the normal double pull/zoning their hard laner. Especially since if you have enough damage, the normal double pull can triple pull to the hard camp.
I love trolling people in the dota 2 trade chats, say something like [H] Hook [W] Quas Essence in a crowded chat and you get like 30 friend requests instantly.

At WCG, ZSMJ said he had 3 of 5 players ready to form a new team which will be sponsored by LGD. He said the other two members are Chisbug and Snow (an old Zhenshan player).

zsmj still has good relations with the lgd team. left on friendly terms.
i think the taobao sponsor for LGD is making a heavy investment to contest iG's dominance. but it'll be hard to make another superteam that rivals iG at the present time.

Ye well SEA very high queue is much the same, if you muck about with a 5stack of friends you are going to get stomped. The trick is to create "smurfs" for mucking about.
I know the thought of smurfs makes some people cringe but if you just click medium and completely stomp the first 1-2 games you get to a reasonable level of play really fast.

It wasn't completely friendly. ZSMJ was effectively forced to retire.
So I thought the Dota 2 menu was strangely familiar to me. Now I know why: Enemy Territory menu music. Is it just me, or is the beginning almost identical? edit: Here's the Dota 2 theme for comparison:
3rd team for LGD? I really want to see LGD.int vs IG being played very, very soon, LGD.int is in very good shape, they might have pretty good odds against Invictus.
