THUS i bring you the latest blog....

HOW TO: POWER DOWN AUTO PILOT.

Auto pilot i hear you ask? well yes, auto pilot is what 99% of us who play dota do for 99% of the games we play and 99% of the duration of those games this is what mode we are in.

dont get me wrong im not saying we all cruise it through and dont pay attention ( IM LOOKING AT YOU SAFE LANE CARRY WITH WARDS UP THAT DOESNT SEE OR HEAR OUR MASS PINGS!!!!!) im saying that once we learn…

I am relatively new to dota but have 4 other friends who also play dota with me and have a bit more experience than me. We normally play in Pubs TBH, but we want to start playing al lot more ranked matches. we have a few team composition ideas:
MOSAT: Maiden, omni, sven, axe, troll
SOCSS: Slardar, Ogre Magi, Clinkx, Shadow fiend, Shadow shamen

But we would love it if any more experienced players,(especially ones who have played ranked lots or even competitive) would give us some more ideas. Even if it is just 2/3 good combos we could put together.

Thanks for helping a new team, it really does help :)

I apologize for the momentary takeover of your internets, but I fear that I must interrupt your normal routine of ****posting, ranting about your mmr, endlessly bumping your recruiting threads that no one looks at and whatever you use dotofire for to show you what I have been up to recently.

As you all know, the Gamer Grill is an evasive being, to a point that most consider the "Gamer Grill" to be a myth (though there have been sightings of grills such as "SingSing" "Zai" and our very own ChiChi, the OGG or "Original Gamer Grill"). I, however, have been working on a little pet project in between class and other things to educate the normies about them : the making of Dotafire's own mascot and/or waifu, Dotafire-Tan.


Granted, I have merely completed this character sheet which I drew up in my character drawing class, but I wanted to, before getting too far on this, share this idea with dotofire and how I got around to making this thing.

It all started during one fateful expedition to…

So I am not an expert but I have done my homework well in regards to this problem. I had to conduct a research over this matter after a number of my friends complained about latest meta lag problems. After reading concerns of users from different forums (Dotafire, Reddit etc.) I found out that some problem persisted in FPS drop while others were due to Network lag.

Before I head on, I will link few websites that have already brought solutions to limelight on this matter and they should be credited for the piece of research work and legit solutions they have given. I however have derived my own hypothesis in this matter and this is what I think:

How to be the BEST support? You CAN raise MMR as a support !

Support

Are you losing the lane?
Leave. The worst thing you can do as a support if you're in an unwinnable lane is stay there and soak up xp while doing nothing. Let him get solo xp so he's at least overleveled and underfarmed instead of underleveled and underfarmed. Oh, I should mention I'm assuming he knows how to play and doesn't over extend and die to get 2 creeps per minute and just sits back and soaks xp to get overleveled, you might have to mention that to him if he's bad.

Now that you've left, what do you do?
1) Protect runes for mid
2) Gank mid with good rune
3) Smoke gank mid
4) Gank opponent safe lane
5) Go to different lane and stay there to push forcing pressure off your safe lane (often called "making space")
6) Hate on mid again
7) Ward aggressively instead of defensively. People often think when they're behind they have to p…

Achievements:
Winners of the TI5 NA Open Qualifier

Guaranteed Top 3 Finish at Sudamerican Master 3
First South American Team to qualify for a Valve-Organized event



SEA has Pinoys, EU has Russians, don't exactly know what the Chinese have to put up with (probably having to play on Perfect World), but like their Asian and European counterparts, North Americans have had their own scourge to deal with. An unstoppable force of feeding and high ping, known only as the Peruvians.

To some, the Peruvians are merely an annoyance, a factor that can be overcome by proper play and excessive reporting. But to those who've followed the signs, they know that the Peruvians are learning, adapting, and most terrifying of all, evolving. It all started at the Summit 2, when the Peruvian squad Not Today qualified for the event under the leadership of SmAsH. They may have been the first team eliminated, but that…
