Fast level 6 from being mid. Then he rotated to go roaming and gave mid to someone else. Virtually every solo kill for the entire game was tracked and in teamfights at least one kill was tracked every fight. Every time we'd go for a fight he'd run up to Void and bait out the Chronosphere letting me safely wait it out on the other side of the map as Spectre and then Haunt right when the Chrono was over and get 2-3 kills off the back of it when my team turned to re-engage. Every single time. I think I only got caught in a chrono three or four times in the entire game because of him forcing it out of the Void all the time and one of those times was because I ran into the chrono to radiance burn their Slardar. The guy was such a good roaming ganker it was unbelievable. | ||

It's unranked, all pick. Time to play whatever is fun and mostly try to win the game, but not care too much if we don't. There's about 15 seconds left before the game starts, our team is invoker / pugna / kotl / myself on windranger / and an unpicked 5th hero, hovered over pudge. The timer ticks zero, but there's someone unpicked on the enemy team as well, so the pause is kept as these last players decide on their heroes. Our Kotl, armed with a microphone, SCREAMS "DO NOT PICK PUDGE we need a CARRY". Okay, whatever. it's unranked all pick and I could care less what the last dude picks. He seems to agree, and picks pudge anyways. Our friend Kotl, still remembering how microphones work, goes "YOU FUCKING PICKED PUDGE ANYWAYS UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA which went on I presume for the rest of the game, except I'll never truly know because he made it about half a second into that ungodly scream before I made it to the eternal salvation of the mute button. Not the best start. Once the Kotl's ungodly scream (I assume) ends, Pudge finds the opportunity to defend himself on mic, reminding our allies that him picking a hero he's comfortable and familiar with is probably better than him playing a role he's not comfortable playing. Seems reasonable, and our ally Invoker agrees, offering to let him go mid, as the three of them (Kotl, Pugna, and invoker) head to our safelane for some trilaning fun. There's hope! ...but not for long. The trilane gives up first blood to a bristleback. Our pudge responds with getting a solo kill on his lane, and I'm valiantly trying not to die to an earthshaker / wraith king lane that has a batrider lurking in the nearby woods. The game doesn't look lost yet, but we're certainly not ahead, and a fight breaks out top that we get the upper hand on, and are in a position to push their t2. But they're pushing our T1 middle, and the team divides on what we're supposed to be doing. Pudge is arguing over mic that we should push their t2 because we won't get in a position to defend our t1 fast enough and the trade benefits us more, and the other three are arguing that we need to defend our t1. Naturally, we don't end up doing either. Two people TP mid, pugna wanders towards our T1 to defend, and pudge and I are left poking their t2 tower futilely, trying to get something out of this "trade". Unfortunately, they dive the few who went to defend the t1, and the game kind of falls apart from here. Kotl (I presume) starts and/or continues screaming at Pudge for whatever, and Pudge starts defending himself and his decisions more aggressively. It gets ugly, and over literally the next 10 minutes, I can hardly hear the game sounds for the debate on who is more stupid than whom in this friendly game of dota. The whole time, pudge is hitting hooks and yelling, invoker is throwing combos and hitting sunstrikes and yelling, and pugna's mostly silent and mostly feeding, while Kotl doesn't even exist as far as I'm concerned. Game is hard. BUT THERE"S HOPE! At about 25 minutes after a teamfight that consisted mostly of yelling, I somehow get a triple kill, we don't lose anyone, and the team suddenly notices that we have a windrunner that's fighting the enemy instead of fighting each other. The microphones go quiet. Through typed chat, pudge concedes that he'll stick with the team and do what the team wants to do, as long as it isn't really stupid. Invoker admits that he and the rest of his tri-stack were wrong to flame him for the pudge pick, and that he's played a good pudge so far and did not deserve the flames. Pugna agrees, mentioning that pudge has played a pretty good game so far. Kotl has hopefully passed out and suffered permanent brain damage from the scream he's been screaming from 3 seconds into the game. All is looking good. Except we're hopelessly behind at that point and still lose anyways. But man, it was cool to see a tri stack start out as I expect tri stacks to go these days, where they were openly hostile towards their allies and treat the game like a 3v7 more than a 5v5, but then relent and recant and forgive the offending pudge, and end the game with everyone commending everyone else for actually being good at dota and respectable, rational humans. I'm not being sarcastic, it was really refreshing to see what I've come to accept as the one-in-eight games that seem to have loud and toxic people in them turn itself around, and end with people who started out only showing the others loathing actually ending the game with a friendly atmosphere. | ||

The second to last game of the evening started with a person typing in chat asking everyone what they wanted. To my surprised everyone (and I mean everyone) was talking and figuring out what would work together. First guy randoms Phoenix and he swaps to me for a randomed Lone Druid. The team as a whole decides that he should go mid and as out picks round out we end up with dual lanes. Luna/Lion top, LD mid, Me as Phoenix and Omni bottom. Other team is completely not together. 4 carries, SK as only support and he's jungling since level 1. My team on the other hand is playing well together. Lion is getting all the wards, I'm farming up and Omni and I are keeping down their Sniper/Bloodseeker lane. Luna tells us she is going to go greedy and ends up getting a very quick midas which turns into her being 6 slotted by 30 minutes with over 1k gpm. I commended everyone in that game. Last game of the evening doesn't have the same talking, but there's a silent agreement among us as to what we're all doing. Without a word we end up with a balanced lineup 1-1-1-2 and me on Enigma. We end up controlling the majority of the game and it seems like everything is going perfect for us. Rubick is not only keeping wards up, but dewarding constantly. I'm able to get a very fast mek and BKB, Ursa gets a quick Vlads and SK gets a blink up not too long after either. It wasn't so much a snowball as it was a hammer. Every time we teamfought our team was just in the correct positions. One great time our Ursa got hooked immediately after taking Rosh and as the enemy clumped together I strolled in, popped BKB just as Tidehunter used ravage and got a 4 man black hole. Our SK and Rubick being right on my back proceeded to get a full blink epi and a stolen Ravage to get a 5 man wipe. This play was only surpassed by the end fight which had Faceless Void chrono our Ursa leaving his team to get blackholed by me with a follow up epicenter right after. Best part though was no one on either team was mad. Both teams agreed it was a well played game and ggs were had all around. | ||

I thought I could stand under my tower and wait for the creep wave to come my way but nope, that guy can spam his shit at you from so far away you just have no way to escape as a low lvl'ed invoker. Anyways the game was just horrible as my team were uninterested in doing anything constructive. I got immensely flamed and well the skywrath just snowballed out of control. I queue up again straight after and the skywrath player was in the opposite team again. This time I wrecked him and had an almost perfect game. I know it sounds super phony but it just felt like sweet revenge and it made my day. Seems to me like some games you know you're gonna lose when things get rough simply because there's no response from your team to address shitty situations. In the first game, after getting this far behind, there's no way you can come back unless your team helps you out a bit in lane or swaps lanes. Some reaction is needed. In the second game, picks went wrong because of some mis-communication. Our mid died twice to their sf and our safe lane was under heavy pressure. I didn't want the same thing happening again so I tried convincing our jungler to get active. Instead of getting the "I need my blink first stfu" he agreed to go for some smoke ganks and pressure. Better still, our mid agreed to simply leave his lane and go on hunting sprees with us. We ended up roaming the map with everyone helping out and pulling a real team effort to get back in the game. While we were doing something constructive to try and turn the game, it was pretty obvious that the other team had started flaming each other as their play became more and more uncoordinated. We had a great hard support who bought obs and sentries all the time without complaint. This meant I could get greedy on my offlane Ogre and with some kills from the ganks I picked up a fast aghs. From there on we started wrecking. Would not have been possible if it weren't for the adaptiveness and good-spirit of the team, although I think the fact that old skywrath was in the enemy team really triggered me too. All in all, two games with pretty similar starts ending up going in different direction thanks to team attitude and effort. | ||

Just won a 60 minute game vs broodmother/np ratdota, and even though I'm not very good it was probably the most satisfying moment of my dota history when I got so fat on morph that they couldn't stop me, and I pushed up there rax into there base, especially as we were two raxes down with 1 tower left guarding our ancient. I dunno if any of you are on teamliquid, but if you are I'd like to thank you all on my team, esp the shadow shaman/pudge for supporting me so well :D | ||

This is a bit ago, but my gosh after the game ended, my heart was pounding for a good 5 minutes while I was just sitting in my seat unable to really do anything. We lost all three sets of rax while we only had one set of rax (top). Then we killed all of them and rushed mid while ogre stayed behind defending. The other team triple bought back, but void chrono'd kunkka and alch (and me) and just went crazy on the throne. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/925988527 | ||

Downside is that by DotA's law there must be one hell of a loss streak coming. | ||
