i love the fact that Grubby stays silent and calm all the time he gets stun locked. like bro, i would have lose my mind there but seeing how Grubby escapes without a a single sound is truly commendable, my man's mentality is stronger than the rock that held Wukong down
i think the enemy team missed some great opportuinities to kill am there but other than than grubby played well stayed focused. didnt even flinch from the aa comments. i would have probably lost this game with me being around the same rank as him.
I know nothing about Dota except the things i learned from your videos but it was soo amazing to see how you played your heart out after that terrible early game.
Love how you treat your twitch chat (no joke). Strong culture of trolling & baiting... seems like other content creators tolerate (or even enjoy, I dunno). Everyone knows your rules by now, just be well mannered. You stick to your guns even as your Dota streams have gotten busy, I like that.
Always remember: objective, objective, objective matters, not kills. I saw that tier 2 bot tower staying alive until min 45... If you are already ahead in tower, have your team distract them while you take it as a pos 1. It would give your team so much more map pressure, and you can then begin to slowly choke them to stay inside their base, while you can just free farm their jungle / ancient camps, or take rosh, then go highground with aegis.
I am very happy how Grubby admited it, the most dificult part of this game is not game mechanic, but mentality. Sometimes the thoughest obstacle in your way to win are your "teammates".Overal gameplay was 4.5-4.7k mmr. Lets play couple weeks making you enough confident, after that make recalibrate your account, because it will be suffering to slowly climbed up. Most of them are not enough capagle to understadning game. good luck
When I'm in a bad mood I just keep thinking "my teammate did wrong, gg, my teammate should be doing X" but when I'm in a good mood I just ignore everything else and have a better performance focusing in doing what I can,that's what separate people who will have the same mmr all their lives and people that are getting better
“Why carry just farm every game” “That is how you do it” Yes and no. Some carrys are meant to gank to get their items(more specifically early to mid game). Clinkz for example was likely the best example of this when he had his old strafe skill. And am is likely the best example of one who needs to farm and not be in really any fights or ganks unless he is basically guaranteed not to die
I'd say that PA is an even better example of this than AM - they're similar in a lot of ways, but AM has better escape, is less prone to nukes (magic resistance) and his ult can deal solid damage regardless of how farmed he is. The only thing PA has going for her (early game) is being able to slow enemies with Stifling Dagger without actually getting into fights.
I think you played relatively well overall, despite some of your teammate's opinions. One thing to keep in mind is that when your team is fighting, you either want to join them (sometimes) or push a lane to get an objective. That way you force the enemy to respond to you by tping back, or they ignore you and you take towers/rax while they clean up your team. Essentially, jungling is never a good decision when your team is fighting. Either join them or if that isn't a good option, push the nearest lane. Well played Grubby :)
I think you underused your aghanim's. In many instances you could've blinked an illusion onto one lane while blinking to another lane. One good example is 40:27. Even in TF, your aghs could have done more, by baiting enemies on backlines or Dusa. Edit: One other thing, Abyssal Blade pierces BKB, probably you know this, but it is just a reminder that it could've been used in some fights vs Earth Spirirt.
I usually just go heart on illusion heroes (make your illusions hard to kill AF), agh scepter on AM is pretty neglectable imo. AM go to items are: rush bfury, then treads, yasha into manta, basher into abyssal (interchangeable with skadi), personally I prefer linkens over bkb unless I'm playing a hero like PA (since AM already has built-in magic resist and shield with 3rd ability), then just heart of Torrasque for that tankiness, then you will be a raid boss in fights and jump their back liners.
Yeah good thing rtz taught all these trolls that when og ran it down in egs base game 3 semis at ti9. Then again he did eventually show up and killed a pos5 b4 dying. Keep doing you grubby. You played that game very well. Glad to see you enjoying dota. It's fun but some of the community are pretty inadequate and haven't figured out pma wins games more than min maxing flawlessly for 45 straight minutes.
GG. The only decision that was questionable was the TP to bottom lane and giving up pressure around Rosh pit mid game. Thats when the graph swung down. You guys were stronger as shown on the graph. They bought back one hero, so If you guys took a fight near rosh. You guys would be up +1 in total buyback, if one of your guys die, they can buy back , tp, and rejoin the fight at rosh. The enemy cant do that as well and are also Ultimate dependant, which is good for your team with buybacks. They bought back one hero, so were desperate to make something happen and take an objective or look for a team fight. Set up a good defensive/warder perimeter around rosh and have them desperately throw themselves at you, because they want to make their buy back count. Your team net worth is higher. You should win if fight is done well. Also bottom lane was pushed out into your tier 2, Which LOOKS bad, but its not really. thats one lane the enemy cant even farm because its so far away... if they took a long winding row down to farm it and hit tower. Thats a free rosh if yall are around rosh., all you need is a glyph to defend. Also you would have complete control of top-mid and their jungle, while their control is just a bot lane and ancients. They dont have a rat line up to make it efficient, and for them to force you to tp bot when you didnt need to.
Grubby was not being objective when he said that he did well imo. He shouldn't have chased tidehunter especially after he used his ultimate and medusa was decimeting his team (a carry particularly weak to anti-mage). It is around the 32:00 minute mark I think.
I can't even tell if this is trolling or not but this is proly why he doesn't play the game anymore lol. mans went 17 and 1 and his team won the game. One mistake over the course of a 30+ minute match doesn't mean he didn't play well.
@Ronin3453 I imagine he's gotta play pretty well on average to hit top 1k. Besides, I don't think he was trying to prove anything, thinking he was just playing a video game for enjoyment
@@JimRicken yes. That all may be true but to say that he doesn't commit any mistakes itself can be a toxic attitude. Sometimes we commit mistakes and don't even recognise them.

@@RuRu0091 ok? and? what does that accomplish? your job is to farm, if you walk for 5 secs there and 5 secs back to silencer as ursa, even if you get a kill, you still lost more farm than you gain. and most of the time you won't get a kill.
Might wanna tone down the spitefulness against chat and learn to play with the team's momentum instead of dismissing their warnings all the time. The display of superiority complex here kinda stings. Hope it was just because of a rough day.
Just tried my first unranked match against other players in Dota 2 and got matched against people who had +3k games played, needless to say that wasn't that balanced. Any tips to get even a little more complete noob level matches? :D
You really need a strong mind to play mobas, I remember getting so tilted by players like AA who flame you for no reason. Great game! Vanguard super value this game.
yes, he fed his courier 3 times. yes, he didn't reflect a single spell with counterspell. yes, he bought abyssal and used it 1 time in 45 minutes. yes, he didn't buy BKB until the game was over. yes, he never focused the medusa with mana void when he showed up in teamfights. yes, the AA and Kunka and twitch haters are jealous he farmed better than 99 % of them and capitalized on enemy weakness and went 17-1 which they. can never do. yes, i love watching Grubby play!!!
@@FollowGrubby It's a bad tip, since you can just attack command an ally/creep to shift aggro. Wasting mana and putting blink on cd isn't really a great strategy.
Why you never click on enemy hero? How do you itemize or play when you do not know what items enemy have? I watch 30 min game and I do not know any item on any hero (your team or enemy team), so hard to play like that, like you play with purpose hendikep... I just wrote comment and pudge told you to not to buy Butter because Dusa has mbk (and that is why I added this second part of comment), but that is something that you cannot know since you do not click on her and you have to itemize against her. To buy butter against mkb core is such a waste.
antimage is the best hero in game to kill medusa. How often did you attack her this game? Right... never... Your team is right to report you if they did in this game.
As a Medusa player in Immortal bracket - you are wrong. AM is weak against Medusa, twice as much after she acquire Aghanim. AM can easily outmaneuver her and that's what Grubby intuitively did. Reports are for Chat abuse, which he did not do any. Cheats and Scripts, which he did not use any and intentionally ruining the game, which he did not. Grubby used a split-push heavily farm oriented playstyle and win due to it. Reporting someone because he did not play the way you wanted him to play is beyond childish.
@@complame And she can kill him at the same timeframe? The only reason he did manage to be on par is due to him farming like madman whole game long. Medusa have stronger team-fight presence and twice as much if she had a lead. Grubby not farming would lead to the enemy gathering and pushing for the win. Instead, they chased him for 15 minutes around the map, which he cleared waves in-between blinks and his team farming around the map. If fighting 1:1 Medusa have 2 spells to prevent AM from hitting him, if teams are involved - this particular game Dire were ahead and their team-fight was stronger, would crush them in straight 5:5.
You're one of those players who reports for making honest mistakes, aren't you. Honest mistakes aren't what Valve calls griefing. Intentional sabotage is. Learn the difference, unless you want to be toxic and abuse reports.
This was really nicely comeback'd by Grubby, but I also feel like the situation got so dire in large part by Grubby too. The lane obviously didn't go well and the Vanguard was kinda bad, but I think the real problem was that he could've joined earlier in fights and just blown up Dusa with ulti, requiring practically zero items to get value there. Grubby also just kinda yolos the ulti instead of taking a microsecond to check the enemy's mana (resulting in situations like 20:32). That said this resulted in a much more exciting game than a normal AM vs Dusa grindfest so I can't complain lol. GGs grubby happy new year
You try listening to chat for 9 hours a day. You'd start off positive, like him at the start of his journey, then you'd start criticising chat for low quality comments, a few games in, then you'd go sub mode eventually
