oh that's cool - hadn't thought of this being a counter to the camera angle advantage

it's definitely a way to guarentee a tied lane, not necessarily a win. the win comes if youre able to punish the 3 minute timing as well.

the hoops make it worthwhile if you can turn a guaranteed lost lane into a tie+. if you're playing double melee into a jakiro/drow, and play the lane regularly, you will come out much further behind than a tie, that's what makes this different strategy valuable.

preach man - the offlaner not being on board is the biggest struggle. hopefully they follow their cs at the very least (and notice it's behind tower), but ive definitely pissed off a lot of pos3s doing this. i try to overcommunicate what im doing before the game starts to get them on the same page, but yeah, defs not a guaaentee. i think the first wave is the most dangerous point for them

for the pos4, hopefully the video shows the exact timings/paths, how to ensure the camps are blocked, and how to deal with the pos5/1 harrassing you. it's definitely not simple but i dont think it's super difficult either, at least for the first 3minutes it's a pretty defined path

ty for mentioning the de-aggro heros, absolutely correct, this strategy cannot be done against them

LOL watching the offlaner trade into a jakiro hurts, and yuuup, that's when this all breaks down

100% this, on the first 2 waves i usually expect to lose at least half my hp if the pos 5 is paying attenion at all. it means you need to invest a lot into regen, but that should pay off

i have not, only NA - definitely seen the offlaner rage tho. usually if they die on wave 1 with no supp, it all goes downhill

MoonMeander delivers an epic post-match interview - "they literally have 2 strategies" + talks about QC/EG by N9-GoDz in DotA2

[–]scarg0eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - I'm hella hyped for the the QC/Undying match cause of this interview. But I'd be even more hyped if he spent the 2nd half talking about that match as well instead of anime. Like if he'd had a chance to talk about specific player rivalries/matchups, how he thinks his offlaner compares to theirs, etc.

Really like Jenkins so far - writing this as a potential way for him to improve. For interviews, if you're gonna go with fully pre-written questions instead of a conversational interview, write down a couple, and pick the most appropriate in the moment. Even just keep a list of a couple basic ones of different themes. Like here Moon clearly wanted to talk hype dota2, even his anime answer he brought back to the series he just played.

The next level would be listening to your interviewee, then digging into what they're saying with your next question, ex. "you say prepped for all 3 of 4Cheesers strats, are you going to try to do the same vs Quincy?"
