Last time we also had MLG and DHW back to back and it really just killed the hype of the second event. And yeah, I dno how big the German Dota audience really is. I always got the impression it was relatively small. There are only so many weeks in a year and those venues likely don't let you just pick and choose whatever date they want. | ||

As in, I'd expect teams to want to finish tournaments and take a break before bootcamping, but who knows. | ||

They tend to play worse after that. remember kids, don't ever end up like me | ||

As in, I'd expect teams to want to finish tournaments and take a break before bootcamping, but who knows. I'm pretty sure they make sure teams will be going there before they randomly get a big ass stadium for a huge even. Otherwise that would be completely silly. I'm french but I'm seriously considering going there, if a lot of people from Europe / CIS think like me I think they cal fill the stadium  | ||

I'm glad to hear so many people from EU thinking about going although I maintain that the big crowds are CIS and right now it sounds like more western europeans are planning to attend instead of eastern europeans (although to be fair, the CIS representation on TL is pretty limited relatively speaking). | ||

Overall, I would say if I try to improve my judgement on when to leave lane to gank, and execute successfully when I do, I would be a much more effective mid player. I will feel less pressured now to gank everytime my team calls for it. | ||

As a ~400 game new player, I don't often mid, but I find that when I do there is a lot of pressure on me to gank the sidelanes, especially if they are losing that lane (feeding). When I do attempt a gank, sometimes they hug the tower, sometimes they countergank, sometimes I screw up and get killed bad, sometimes I trade 1 for 1, and sometimes it is successful.

One of the easiest way to give your team an advantage from the mid lane is to get the tower down, this is easiest done with dk, dp, rhasta. Id say this is one of the safest way to play mid. Just farm until your opponent tries to gank then you kill the tower. Now you basicly have 3 choices, try to get another tower down (buy a teamfight item), try to kill heroes (buy a positining item blink or shadowblade or something) or farm for something bigger. Sure some games your teammates will flame you for not winning their lanes for them now we have three choices mute them, ignore them or try to "reason" with them. I think we all know whats more sensible. | ||

I think we all know whats more sensible. It's even simpler than that. One of the easiest ways to give your team an advantage from mid is to *win mid*. It seems simple but a lot of pub players in mid don't know how to totally suppress the opponent mid, even in a situation where they're winning and give the enemy mid more space in the lane/game than they should. If you crush your lane mid, it reduces the pressure on your sidelanes because the gank threat from the opposing mid is weaker due to his lack of items/levels, and because the opposing mid cannot secure vision of you as easily if you have control of the lane, the enemy sidelanes still have to play around your gank threat. Often in pub mid lanes, players don't establish firm control of the lane before trying to gank. Because of this, one of three things often happens when they gank which destroys any advantage they had: 1) They get counterganked, killed, and are now behind in the lane they were ahead in, as well as potentially putting the lane they ganked for behind 2) They succeed in ganking, but the gold/XP they got from the gank doesn't outweigh the gold/XP the enemy mid got from their free-farm time mid. They put a sidelane ahead at the cost of no longer being ahead mid. 3) Their gank fails, and they let the mid the were ahead against get free-farm time. They didn't put a lane ahead, and are now behind in a lane they were winning. | ||
