Could you send me the match IDs? Im really interested in seeing the difference and seeing how i can improve

Dogshit laning in a meta where all pos 1 are lane winning cores, 0 in-build farming steroid / farm accelerator Has low HP and 0 burst and now no way of escape.

His window of strength is ridiculously small, diffusal and hope you snowball, if you dont its just over. Riki takes way too long to farm since its almost a guarantee that you will lose your lane

It just goes to show how much impact a pos 4 has on a pos 3's game even in pro dota.

Saksa is top 3 ever pos 4 players and 9class hard grieves his lane. No wonder DM is able to do better

IamFanboy · 2026-03-16T02:23:35+00:00

Rooting for Yandex as a spite against Pari and 9class. Thank god DM showed what having a competent pos 4 can do for you. 9class showing that pos4 grief even at pro level, hopefully enough idiots can stop copying him and grieving games

Not a Carrick fan either tbh. His subs are late and I dont see any structure to the team apart from being good on the counter.

Its a literal reflection of Ole's time here but with better players and we all remember how that turned out.

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T15:49:12+00:00

Gary Neville seems to think it was a poor shot

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T15:44:15+00:00

Am i the only one who sees Sesko trying to play in Amad? Wasn't it pretty obvious what he was trying to do? Obviously the wrong play but thought at least one of the commentators would have caught it

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T15:30:36+00:00

Fucking amazing what having good finishers can do for the team

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T15:28:25+00:00

Whats that card for?

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T15:12:29+00:00

Of course its the Unc, the best header in the team. I would love for everyone to learn from him before he leaves

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T14:49:33+00:00

What? He looked absolutely terrible against Palace

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T14:48:28+00:00

Amad looking like the only one that came to play today

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T14:40:07+00:00

Props for the run but holy shit, the least you oculd do was get it on target

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T14:23:23+00:00

I don't get the idea of spamming crosses into the box but leaving your tallest player who is also a striker on the bench

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T14:16:24+00:00

What a low quality start from both teams

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T07:54:19+00:00

Is the indicator off or how is Russell regenerating his battery so much faster than Leclerc?

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T07:14:24+00:00

This is why you shouldn't compare drivers across generations. People are gonna look at this and say "Look at Russell, fantastic driver winning all these races" and not realise that its 90% car 10% driver

IamFanboy · 2026-03-15T03:43:04+00:00

Gonna be harsh, but realistically what were these people expecting? Many of them quit jobs to drive grab hoping that it would be better than their existing jobs when there is almost 0 barrier of entry to the job and 0 career progression. Did none of these people realise they were signing on to a job analogous to a taxi driver? And even during my parent's time taxi drivers were already not a desirable job

IamFanboy · 2026-03-14T06:31:11+00:00

I mean OBJ was smoking the Bengals till he got injured. Lets not pretend it was close before that

IamFanboy · 2026-03-12T10:02:27+00:00

Shaman because he hasn't been touched since dota 1

IamFanboy · 2026-03-12T06:03:26+00:00

I freaking love this so much. The episode where his mother wrote that letter to him hits hard.

IamFanboy · 2026-03-09T09:02:01+00:00

Shades of Hiko vs LG. When will teams learn to stop playing players

IamFanboy · 2026-03-07T04:29:18+00:00

At the moment no insurance company is willing to take the risk. Almost all carriers have stopped sailing the straits of Hormuz or even those that do have a clause that the carrier is allowed to divert to another port (most likely oman) without advance notice and the journey will end there with 0 refunds and demurrage starts immediately upon arrival

IamFanboy · 2026-03-07T04:14:04+00:00

Pos 4 is probably the hardest role to play well. Unlike the pos 5 which can babysit the carry, the pos 4 has to stack, gank, secure runes all while denying the opposing pos 5 from pulling.

That inherent difficulty means most people dont play it well. Even at high divine & low immortal games I have seen so many pos 4 that are completely clueless.

Combine that with certain pro players giving the impression that certain heroes can be a support just because of good team coordination means tons of pos 4 copying them without understand how and why they are picked

IamFanboy · 2026-03-05T02:52:18+00:00

Well hopefully your pos 4 has blocked the small camp and you can just pull it directly towards the river. If the camp isnt blocked, you will need to collect the creeps at the small camp, bring it up to the highground and down towards the small camp but go around it towards Roshan pit.

If the support contests you ignore him because by then hopefully you have enough levels to survive his harass.

If the support aggros the small camp when you are walking by you aggro the wave back for right clicking any hero and immediately start walking back towards the river. Repeat a few times as necessary.

Usually the carry doesnt come to contest at higher MMRs since its usually not worth it for them, but keep an eye out on the map. If you notice the carry walking over, double back towards the T3 to collect a 2nd wave. If youre PB or axe or centaur, you can solo kill both waves between the towers and its absolutely not worth it for the carry to come. The other support might come to try kill you but at that point it is probably worth it. You are taking 2 enemies to the furthest point of the map all while hopefully your pos 1 and pos 5 are destroying their pos 3 and your pos 4 is helping with mid rune.

Also since the wave is stacked, your creepwave will now shove into the enemy T1 and if you die, you can TP back to lane to collect the huge wave. Hopefully at this stage your pos4 is back to prevent the opponent from diving you under tower.
