If he got a freefarm lane, he should have higher cs than 38 in 12 minutes. Especially if he started with QB instead of Stout like it looks like he did. 38 in 12 is pretty poor even if he got a somewhat decent lane.

NB, can you honestly say that you took every opportunity that you could that game? That you didn't miss a solo kill opportunity? That you couldn't have tp-counterkilled even 1 of the 16 deaths on your team?

nah, its all good, i never been the type who rage at my team, in fact if you dont count all the trolls games i played, im pretty confident that i have never rage at my team ... that game went really silently bc we all know we got outplayed. I just use it to demonstrate what Erasme talked about earlier on how he always pick carry.

another thing: is it just me or EU sever skill level is much better than US? when i play on EU i often get people who actually know what they are doing rather than US who know nothing and rage at team by swearing by mic and stuff =_=

To my understanding EU have higher skill levels in all games than US. A reason could be that since a majority of Europe do not have English as their mother tongue immature kids will be less common there than in the US.

I can't stand people who type in their incomprhensible language even when you say 'english please'. But Russians have shitty internet so they're the worst :p

im pretty sure the find match system works like this:
1/find 10 people similar mmr
2/using their IP -> calculate avg location to host game on sever
3/host game on the sever closest to all

this explains why sometime my game stuck at finding sever after look up 10 people

Americans are competitive at the highest levels of FPS games and we seem to be OK at SC. Why we are lagging in DotA is not something I personally know.

As our internet connections between east and west coast have improved so too, it seems, has our ability to compete on the world stage. To be good, you must have good competition to practice against and that always seemed to be the limiting factor for us. Europe is MUCH more population dense than the US which is a few centers of high density surrounded by vast expanses of basically no one + our internet infrastructure has historically had as little investment as possible by the telecoms (you know, cuz it might eat into profits or something).

Will America ever have as strong a scene as Europe? Well, I dont know. I hope so, because DotA 2 is my only hope for a competitive game right now as the FPS games out now make me sad.

The American Dota community is the worst. It is the absolute worst. Not in terms of skill but attitude, flame etc.

While i'm not defending the american dota community, I have to say we are second behind Russia.
That being said, the russians i've played with are rather hilarious.

Looks pretty stompy, but it was actually a comeback from my team. Enemy team tried to push through ~5 powershots and dual breaths and got wiped, then they never recovered.

And I love playing Windrunner, such a great hero. :D

Man sometimes this game can be so depressing. Played a game last night where in the early game we lost all of our lanes, went down by about 15 kills, and lost basically all of our towers. Through a lot of ganks and good odd man fights we clawed our way back into the game, eventually even taking the lead. We ended up killing mid rax and the tier 4 towers, but our whole team except for me got wiped because they wouldn't back off instead trying to kill the throne when their whole team respawned, and we were all at 1/4 hp. We got all raxed because of this, they had mega creeps, but we wiped their team 5-0, having a 80 second window to backdoor the throne. I asked one person to stay behind and defend while we throned them, but our team yelled NO RIKI YOU STAY AND DEFEND and all left(even tho i was the best candidate for backdooring), and instead of just running to the throne fought every single wave of creeps in the mid lane until the other team respawned and finished the game Also my teammates continually buy gems when im Riki(because sniper has Lothar's) even tho we have Slardar....

Game made me so sad

Edit: Also blademail hurts like a fucking bitch.

This was a hilarious game last night. I was lich mid for some reason. It was definitely a low skill game. Very very low skill. Anyway, after about an hour I discovered lich cannot carry vs invoker. Sad days.

I love how WR, AM and Morph can't really decide which items to go for, so they're just kind of all over the place.
