The last couple days we have run cm just once or twice (both times to counter clockwerk with just harsh nuking lanes). I would say our line ups are really diverse for most games, although it feels that in a decent portion we run potm due to her just being so versatile =P. When we do picks we also throw ideas out just how the game might go. I really like most of our picks as some of them are not main stream and under used =P. edit: we played with mikey the other day and rolled some team who tried to tri lane btm into all in push. we stopped a krob kotl dazzle tri lane with lich kunkka lol That is a really bad tri lane lulz, you don't play for push with a tri-lane like that. When I say gimmicky I meant for matches that matter like in tourneys, from Fear's Clinkz from way back to DOGKaiser's Syllabear to Merlini's Silencer/Zeus to Chu's Meepo to DoP's Dark Seer/Visage/Treant, there's always been some affiliation with a NA player and their respective defining hero or picking style. I don't see that in Euros or Asians that much. And no I am not talking about picking good heroes, I am talking about the quality of the team dropping just because their hero was banned (or could have been banned), namely aimed at DoP and DOGKaiser. I just feel the NA teams use their picks/bans too much as a crutch instead of changing play styles with their heroes. | ||

We stopped their tri lane and just got hoods + hp and ran them over in a 5 man counter push mid. | ||

I am ringing a decent amount now, and a lot of players/teams claim HS but they definitely aren't HS (compared to some of those teams playing in IDEC Earth right now). in my humble opinion, when we have our 5 best (which, unfortunately, is rarely the case) we are probably a 2nd tier na dota team. not quite as good (or should i say experienced) as EG., Pokerstars, SUP!, GDT, EDGE, PZ etc. but we could easily take games off them in casual scrimms (excluding EG.). pretty sure if the 5 we had scrimming today had a little more experience playing together in high-level games we'd be a definite contender for top tier. but ya we don't rely on particular heroes at all. we tend to lean towards potm, zeus and cm a lot if all the standard bans are in place but we've been trying to vary our strats more recently. a bunch of teams still insist on banning meepo vs us but we don't even run him anymore... i think testie must have scarred them for life. i really liked the roaming ogre with cm/panda strat we did today. that shit just oozed awesomeness. probably need to give testie a hero with a better escape mechanism next time though versus that clockwerk fp =p | ||

Second game he was doom and we just didnt have wards in the right spot. I kind of wish i was cm that game again just because i prefer my ward style over rads =P. | ||

They'd throw all their nukes at me hoping I wouldn't get doom off, then you guys would clean up. Rinse repeat. i know he did fine, but i just prefer where i place my wards over him, thats all =P. | ||

They were counterwarding a lot, and I didn't have money to ward and countward myself, so I had to keep placing them in different spots that would give us decent vision without the wards getting killed. | ||

4. Every player must have some experience with all of the heros and be able to play more difficult heros well if they mesh better with the team. Alright, I think I've about experienced all there is to experience with just casual playing and it's not that fun anymore. I figure before dota gets boring I might as well give it my best shot and see if i can hit high tier. My bnet background has proved insufficient for you guys so I'll need to adapt. What should I focus on first, where do I get this information and which of you higher ups want to help me? | ||
