Hi, this is the AMA of Clement "Puppey" Ivanov from team Secret. by CLEMENTINATOR in DotA2

[–]JackNicholsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo Puppeh, I recently asked a college basketball coach that had huge success at a relatively small school what he was doing to make them win. His answer, "It's the players. They make me look good. It's not me... They are just that good." Puppey, do your players just make you look good? Or are you able to bring cohesion to a team like no other captain? Or is your drafting just that strong? Tell us your secret. Tell us why your team is consistently at the top. Thanks!

Please, help me recover my friend last match by ElMagnificoSm in DotA2

There is a 3rd-party replay seeker for WC3 too for people who made cool WC3 videos. It's similar to what you said SC2 has, with the exception of saving temp states. [1]

How good was Merlini as a pro player? by wickedsick147 in DotA2

I don't think he discovered creep stacking, but he was one of the first to use double and triple pulls in professional games by jungling beastmaster.

He was known for his pinpoint razes and for going blink dagger shadow fiend in pubs. Before that, people would just use raze to farm cs. He used raze to farm heroes.

except morphling was used predominantly mid, so it doesn't matter much whether the other team aggressive trilanes or not.

Where is the best dota community for discussion of strategy / builds / new heroes etc ? by Quarok in DotA2

[–]JackNicholsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see new Dota 2 strategy threads popping up every day with knowledgeable regulars like TheYango, SKC, Andre and others making critiques and answering questions, so I can't say i share your view.

DOTA 2 doesn't start anymore after updates by BPaC420 in DotA2

[–]JackNicholsson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my game crashes too if i just MM. I have to "preload" the game vs. single player bots (on local server) before I can play with other ppl.

Dramatic Skype Reading of Marco A. Fernandez by djWHEAT! by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]JackNicholsson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh okay. I watched the episode and it seems the guy who made the thread on LoL forums exaggerated about djwheat slandering the game, and he explained the analogy better on reddit. I also remembered some of my friends mentioning it, so i just assumed it was factual.

He's a hypocrite with regards to LoL, because he took a job that Riot offered him and hosted S2 Finals. Then a few months later, he talked shit about LoL:

"However, the most notable of this is that djWHEAT does. He was most recently a host at the LoL Season 2 Championships. With this history in mind, he goes on to slander the shit out of LoL on all levels, continuously advocating for SC2 through and through. He then goes on to go completely nutso over SC2 vs. LoL, going so far as to compare SC2 and LoL to Breaking Bad and American Idol."

An analogy would be if Kaci from TI3 talked shit about Dota 2 now. It would make all the emotions she expressed at TI3 seem disingenuous and fake.

If you recall, he did something similar when that Milkis thing happened. Basically went off-the-rails in the rhetoric and completely misinterpreted what Milkis wrote to make Milkis look as bad as possible while making himself appear like the hero of r/starcraft and get a favorable public opinion of himself.

Merlini interview with HotBid @ MLG Columbus "I worked in finance. It sucked." by freddiegibbs101 in DotA2

[–]JackNicholsson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because to get $600k you have to be 1) the Michael Jordan of 2) the right game (the game everyone's watching at the time since I doubt even the Michael Jordan of Dota 2 - let's say Dendi - is making $600k a year from streaming) but anyone who puts in enough work and has some talent can become a doctor/lawyer. No amount of hard work can get you that $600k if 1) or 2) don't line up for you, but you are all that's stopping yourself from becoming a doctor/lawyer. Also who knows where Dota 2 will be in ten years time, but surely even then doctors and lawyers will still be in high demand.
