What is idl dota

I had literally free farm for the first 20mins But all I had was a tread and a RoH. I missed a lot of creeps free-farm, I lost lane control causing them to push , I lost timing against my own tower, etc. A lot of factors kept me from last-hitting. I sucked quite hard.

I had no idea about freezing lane, or how to time against towers, or how to vac creeps. I had absolutely no clue on any of those intricate stuff. I had one thing in mind: attack the creep when it's about to die. David and Kurt raged at me so hard, they were saying stuff like "I should have went carry instead". I couldn't farm nor carry for shit. David told me to just farm, and ulti into team fights.

Which was something I needed to know, because I'd often TP or walk into fights and thus wasting farm-time. I lost the game for the team single-handedly. I continued to try out the carry role for many games. I eventually got the hang of it. I learnt a lot from it. Like how to push lanes attack the range creep first , how to 'AFK' farm, etc. My carrying skills developped quite fast. But since people recognised me as a carry player, it means my support skills have been maxed.

This ensures that you can read the support's mind, as well as give you the credibility to carry the team. Eventually, RedRevolution said stuff like "thank god, no shit kunts on this team".

He said that when I was on his team. This was indicative to me, it means I'm no longer a "shit kunt" Red has good and honest judging abilities. Time after time, I played the carry role and probably mastered it by now. It was time for me to play the final, hardest, and most important role: Mid semi-carry. This role is really important, it determines the early-game, which affords your team to play well late-game.

The mid hero is central to the game, it's responsible to control the 3 lanes ganks, etc. It is also a safe lane with wards. You need to have a lot of responsibility and skill when undertaking this role. My first mid solo game was with Alchemist. I vs'd Shoepah's TA. He raped me so hard in every dimension. He got all the creeps, runes, hero-kills from ganks , towers, and most importantly: he killed me twice.

I game-threw my first mid lane game. I wasn't ready for this role. But what I really needed was some more practice, so I kept on trying. Now, it was clear to everyone that I'm an extremely offensive player. I lacked map control abilities, rune'ing skills, creep kills, etc. However, I was regarded as a really strong player. This is why: sometimes, I would kill the hero I'm vsing with no assists.

Mid heroes killing mid heroes were quite rare. By nature, I was just really aggressive. I played as Viper against Owly's SF at mid once. He outtimed me and stuff, but he was on orange HP for a lot of the time. He managed to CS because he knew about lane controlling exploiting cliffs. He definitely won the lane. The only thing I won in was dealing more damage to his hero. He thought he lost his lane because he was always on orange HP. Little did he knew that he actually won since he had way more farm.

People saw this as a problem. They said I had so much potential, and such good recognition skills quickly seeing opportunities to kill , but I was a loose cannon. A lot of people trained me. They said being a good mid solo hero depends a lot on how good your 1v1 skills are. In my life, I had always been a good 1v1 player, not much of a 5v5'er.

This means I have a lot of potential in the mid lane. I would play a lot of 1v1 apomshnp games against mYmY, sulmar, paul, bez, mario, etc. At first, they would all beat me and stuff. But not only did they vs. This saves the. And in high-levelled games, the. Paul taught me that items and skills were situational. It was at this time that I joined Clan LaM, and eventually became shaman from my exceptional level outplayed a lot of people in that clan.

My 1v1 skills sky-rocketted now. I beat mYmY, Hal, Mario, prosperity, eldestdad, pukventuk, zmuffinman in 1v1 games. I couldn't beat sulmar, paul, nor bez though. I outplayed a lot of people now, and the other high tier players didn't seem so good to me. I once thought Kimchi and K-styler and stuff were good, but they're not that impressive now that I look at it.

Confirmed to be more competitive than eSix, GGC, etc. The team with blackshatan would always win. We played a startgame of good players only. I had paul on my team, and their team had blackshatan. Shatan played Krob at mid against paul's Medusa. It was impressive for me. Both good mid players battling it out at mid. I spent more time watching them than me. Shatan would use Krob's wave at level 1, which was impressive for me at the time.

I played as Viper that game. This made him hate me a bit. So he aimed me whole game. He charged me with Krob's ulti and powerhouse'd me down all the way into my base at like 25mins in. It was pure rambo, but successful nonetheless. I was quite good now. I started to lose my innocence and evolved into an egoistical dota player. I use to be really meek in games, but now I just rage at whoever does shit.

The tides have changed, I use to be the underdog, but now I'm near the top, raging at the new underdogs, or new applicants. We patronised a lot of people for fun. Hal, Suppy and me use to gang up on shatan. We trolled him all day. IDL became a nightmare for him. I started to see more flaws more a lot of people than ever. For example, I use to think paul was perfect, but now I realised that he can only farm doesn't help the team for 30mins. And that Hal was just way too rambo of a player, and that mYmY is really team-dependent.

Gaffa and r1sk can only support. GoDz can only play micro heroes. Redrevolution was overrated. Sas and Muffinman had a lot of knowledge, but no skills. The list went on. My gameplay escalated. I started playing high tier IDL games. I played with clan Rubik most of all. Eventually, I joined Rubik and then we'd get together to play 'challenge' games.

We'd win almost every game. We camped the channel as 5 Rubiks, and dabe would ask everyone for a challenge game. This wasn't just a battle of DotA, it was a battle of pride. If you challenged Dabe, you would lose face. If you denied him of the challenge, you would lose face. It was a win-win situation. A lot of people hated to vs. We had a lot of authority.

We had the power to cancel startgames, because a lot of people would suck up to us. That's how our stats got so good. It was funny, though, that dabe would ask everyone for a challenge, but acted AFK when shatan was in the channel. I didn't play at the time. I was not Rubik's top 5. I still had quite a long way to go. They beat MCiTY twice and became the best team. This was a huge boost to my reputation, simply because I was in that clan.

A lot of IDLers let me first-picked, and complied with my orders, etc. I was now considered a high-tier player. As time went on, everything was the same really. I had hardly anything new to learn. With some finishing advice that ChuPz, blasz, etc. My knowledge of the game was at a grand level. I was starting to surpass Anh and Paul. But our clan wasn't unstoppable. There was a rubik hunter out there that stood in our way. His name was Blasz. He beat almost all of the Rubiks in a 1v1 same hero game including L.

He was then crowned as BA's best 1v1 player because of those feats. He played a 1v1 unvouch game against Anh, then beat him. But Anh didn't get unvouched because foxQ made an excuse that 1v1 unvouches were not allowed.

But whenever we beat someone in a 1v1 game, they were unvouched. He was only in Rubik because he had admin powers, little did he knew. After getting a lot of the noobs unvouched from my 1v1 unvouch games, VSOP was introduced because a lot of people were complaining about uneven games in latency not just concerning my 1v1 unvouch games, but others,too. It is at this time that a new wave of people joined IDL. Including Rooney, David, Dean, and Martin.

All 4 of them dodged like no tomorrow. For different reasons. David couldn't play with his old PC. Dean and Rooney weren't that much into DotA at all. And Martin only played pubs because he feared a ''negative score'', which is stupid if you're not going to play really.

But the games that they did play, they got owned quite hard. Especially Rooney, he got like Lion against my Naix. Since they played so little, I just played by myself. It's boring playing games where there's no one you know in real life in it. But then again, it's not like I can help it.

This time, what I was taught wasn't a DotA lesson, but a life lesson. To appreciate what you have. Stuff happened irl. Irrelevent to DotA, but let's just say I rightfully devoted more time into it than real life, because of a lot of stuff happening family, school, friends.

This path got me to the point where I became top 25 in AU. Rubik played a lot of OGL games 4v5s and we got Rooney to sub in often. So we wanted to make a new clan. Suppy created N9, then added me into it. It was just us 2 at first - and it wasn't meant to be a serious clan. Shatan joined it for fun. Then we eventually turned it into a serious clan. He added dabe, etc.

This became the new best team on BA. It consisted of me, Suppy, Shatan, tonton and dabe. It evolved, and we added in Xploziv Godot , Musica, r1sk, tyranee etc. We started to partake in international games.

We vs'd M5, DTS, etc. Our first game together against DTS was a victory. But the rest caught on pretty quickly. We won with an accidental pick Jakiro, who was not OP at the time. Immediately I thought he was the best player on BA, since he just kept on spamming.

He was playing pretty good with it, and I thought AM was one of the worst heroes in the game at the time his only nuke is his ulti, he has no stun, etc.

My thoughts were changed again. He was the first person to get a godlike in those Ci inhouse games. Kevin challenged me to a 1v1 at Roshan his veno vs. I accepted. I ulti'd him striaght up and then used bladefury. He manage to juke it in the Roshan pit and, consequently, killed me, thus winning the 1v1. That's when I thought Jug was a shit hero, and quitted it. Heck, all the clan Ci people thought I Mh'ed. That's how bloody good my map awareness was at such an immature age.

Clan Ci didn't want to play with me much. They said I was shit, and that I MH'd. Martin harboured the most animosity; he said I'd always ulti as Luna with creeps around. So I'd use to pub by myself, and Kevin would be the only one to ride the chain reaction to play with me. Martin would tell me to get 4 hyperstones on OD, and to get 2 bashers on Troll. Alec on the other hand, was the cheapest player. He would choose NS every game, and sometimes BH, to spam backstab and missing out on the farm.

During this age is when I started playing Axe every game. I use to sneak on the computer at night to play Axe. I get 2 stout shields and would lane cut. This worked to my favour every game, until the 3v3 game I had with Steven and Martin. Their Jakiro drilled another hole in my ass. Martin was not happy. Eventually, 5v5 games seemed pretty insipid to me. I started playing 2v2 games with Kevin. It was always Kevin and me verses Dusan and Elmas. We'd lose the majority of it, even though our individual skill level was significantly higher than them.

They had better team-work. We had NO teamwork whatsoever. We totally sucked. It is at this stage that I started getting better. At this time I was better than Jordan, but not as good as Henry, Martin, etc. I started MHing. I would pick Luna every game and ulti poor heroes in their jungles. I never got caught until we played an inhouse game. I eventually got bored of MH so I stopped.

Then new maphackers joined us again: Jason and Darko. The patch for Kunkka and WR came out. During our first game on that map, Jason came back from quitting. He was Pugna and I was clockwerk, Kevin was Kunkka. I swear at this point in time I was better than Jason.

I improved so much, and so fast. We won the game with Jason on or something, and me on Darko didn't even care to hide the fact that he was MHing. He followed a BH using diabolical edict. I was probably ranked 1st in our circle by now, which consisted of 10 people.

I was beating Kevin, David, Alec, and Henry in 1v1 games though not -sh , and ironically, losing to Martin. So we made a clan: eQx, with me being the chieftain and everyone else the Shamans. I liked it this way. No one shaman would take sovereignty over another.

Everyone would be a winner; for equality. But there was some controversy between it so people settled it with David and Kevin being the only shaman. They were the other 2 best players.

Ha and Victor were the worst at this point. We played IH games every day and every night. David, Kevin and I were the 3 big players. The team that had the majority of us 3 would almost always win. Then we started to MH for the 'lols'. David's blind Kunkka boat-kill at ancients was memorial. We then established our main 5. After some time, David and I would get together to play 2v2 Pub games.

These games taught us an important lesson: he who tries hard, loses. It would always ring true. The no-lifes that kept harassing us eventually lost in the end. Some games were crazy, when it was Mh vs Mh games.

David would attempt to juke a Mher, and the other person would do the same. It was pointless, really. They could both see each other, anyway. After the MH days were over.

We started to play war games. I had no idea how these games worked. Kevin would be the captain. He'd draft us an Omniknight every single game without fail. He said it was the best clanwar hero. The whole team, excluding Kevin, would fail miserably. The mantra he had us recite was "don't worry about farming, just gank.

What luck. They wrecked us ? Then it was against clan iNf. Another top clan of BA. We pretty much gave up and went back to pubbing. Finally we would return to the warring scene. We vs'ed. They were the toughest team I had ever vs'ed in my entire life. Hal went QoP straight up. I was the drafter this game, I drafted myself a DS to go top. I bought bottle first item and we all played like pubs. But they dragged it, and the tidal game eventually turned towards our favour -- we then won our first clan war game, against a top team.

That day was the happiest days of our lives.
