I think the big thing here is that Purge is almost pure calculation and Slacks is pure emotions... also the thing about Slack himself saying he isn't able to trust teammates is definitly showing. I still very interested in how this will develope, but right now it feels like Slacks need to commit to actully learning a bit more.

LeaFFA500 well I didn’t say he was a good support. Or that he should play support and not carry

Also that's a normal mix, btw

[@KingAmroth]

lol I loved the shit out of this. Purge please give him a LITTLE more praise so you don't completely demoralize him during the midgame. I think Day9 went through a similar fatigue. Maybe watching replays together would be helpful, let him suggest things he could do better instead of being lectured. Once you said you didn't blame him for diving after that dusa refused to show up he was back on your side. When you guys are having fun together, that's when this works best.

29:40 When Purge told Slacks to sell that Faerie Fire, and slacks said nah "it's for luck". Purge was like "OK". Cuz' yo legit, that shit is real. You would keep that 1 shared tango, or 1 faerie fire, or 1 clarity, or 1 mango, or 1 iron branch cuz you never know how it'll become useful. Also, works like a good luck charm.

Any guesses how much more Purge gonna be able to put up with? he's already frustrated as F in their second adventure together

[@sexySBH]

Radiant actually used 2 buybacks on the mid fight when dire took tier 3 mid tower. So it was actually a decent fight even though they got wiped. And slacks is correct -- in the lower level games you do have to find out who is the weak link. That naga was very bad, so you have to take that into account in team fights. And there are benefits in taking farm away from naga so that better players (even supports) get more farm.

[@seaofscissors]

Slacks honestly makes some good points, especially about the bounty rune @48:30 like shit, purge's probably right about everything, but that doesn't mean Slacks' reasoning is bad

[@philipkelly7369]

[@turedopurba9465]

[@Exera80]

I find it hillarious when Puirge and Slacks play games, but this, this is so much funnier!

[@NHLfromBN]

This is the best purge content I’ve seen I’ve been here like 6 years

[@KanyeT1306]

One thing that may help Slacks and anyone watching: do not be afraid that you will lose the late game by forcing bad fights and taking towers when you are not ready. Medusa is strongest when she is six slotted, but to get there she needs a lot of farm and a lot of time to get that farm. If you have map control and the enemy is locked in their base, but you don't feel you are strong enough to go high ground, just wait it out. Your team will be farming the entire map and their team will be getting only a pittance. Wait until your net worth advantage grows, and then push. If you force bad fights when you're not ready, you are giving them the late-game farm they need.

[@psychic_plays]

Yeah you tell that to Slacks. He gon buy two rapier and fuck shit up

[@torgor_]

[@ultravires6494]

@@outsidethebox262 slacks got 5k by abusing omniknight and techies. he is pretty good in teamfights as even purge admits to. He also communicates with his teammates, he boosts morale and make stupid plays as seen in this video to secure objectives. w/c when done against low skilled players often cause mistakes thus made him win almost unwinnable games.. his techies game is not even dota, he uses pyschological shit to his advantage.. so yeah thats why he is 5k.
