Pure MICRO FEST! - Grubby learns Dota 2 - A to Z Challenge - CHEN!

[@mikelezhnin8601]

Chat - "do not dominate the first ranged creep". Grubby - takes the first ranged creep. Kills two couriers with that creep. I'm speechless.

[@endlessnoodle3056]

30-ish game in dota, instantly does perfect pro moves with Chen... I could watch this Chad doing micro in dota all day

[@gonoki888]

As expected from a Pro WC3/RTS player

[@jonm6448]

Micro in dota is childs play compared to rts' proper.

[@jamesdeans104]

you're micro level are on God tier!!!! goodness. that's the WC3 world champ!! good to see you playing all the hardest heroes 1 at a time. Also sunsfan ( a long time dota 2 content creator did just said on his stream that you're one of the newest Streamers that has inspired him to play dota 2 and look at it on a new perspective) is a having fun watching you which is soooooo coool!

I rarely watch your stream because timezones difference, but i appreciate that you upload it to YT because seeing you play make me remember when I'm learning the game 10 years ago. Thanks Grubby!

It's really cool to watch someone who is learning _and_ also already pretty good. Not to mention the positivite vibes. I don't even play dota and I had never heard of you but I've been watching a lot of these videos.

[@xnick_uy]

I suggest you watch some of Grubby's Heroes of the Storm videos too, specially the ones with Samuro or The Lost Vikings (it's a game similar to DotA).

[@FollowGrubby]

Interesting thanks for sharing! Cool you find the channel

[@meliocurie1809]

Watch his Warcraft 3 even if you're not playing it you would enjoy it

[@totallyathome]

I dont know if Chat told you but you can think of inventory slots as a resource too Every Hero has a max 6 item slots, 7 including neutral item, so the high cost is basically you spending gold to free up an inventory slot for more items. An example for this game was when you combined Mechanism(the AOE healing item) + Arcane boots(the give my friends mana item). Or Vladimirs Offering which is an aura item that combines an item that gives mana regen aura, armour aura and upgrades you personal lifesteal into an aura. I've enjoyed watching you play these games and learning about the items and the way your eyes light up. Thank you for uploading the games to KZbin! GG Big G.

[@romancisar7593]

Chen is a great hero, I main him. In most lanes you do take the first range creep, you do lose EXP and eventually give it to opponents in most cases, however range creeps have pierce and deal extra damage to creeps. So you are usually able to deny half of the waves until opponents can effectively nuke for last hits. This concept of using range creep to deny is extremely important for all Chen players until lv3. Chen is strongest in the early game and his mid game impact is hugely reliant on early towers and farm/teamfight. I'm glad to see you enjoying him.

[@hiccupteacup5914]

Hi! Question. Is there certain matchups/scenarios wherein you shouldn't take range creep lvl 1?

[@SaladinG14]

@@hiccupteacup5914 VS Doom for example possibly, free devour target

May I ask what MMR it is? It seems like a massive grief to your pos 1 to do so.

[@romancisar7593]

@@raprap543 5,2k currently.

[@romancisar7593]

@@hiccupteacup5914 yea, you can take aura lv1 in lanes where you won't be able to deny at all, making the creep not worth it AND also with 0 kill potential in the lane (your carry is PA or void for instance) . Lets say something like Tiny/CM, Enigma/most strong supports or Lesh/CM where they can just nuke every creep and will be looking to trade and kill you.

[@destinyhero4795]

2500 hours into Dota 2 and honestly im not capable or comfortable playing micro heroes but i can say your micro skill is absolutely goat. Then again its come from WC3 legends himself so I'm not really surprised.

You can see a smile on Grubby face every time he has more then one hero to control 🐸

[@nseven1117]

considering grubby's experience in warcraft, this level of micro management is to be expected

[@caspertrog1046]

I think what that dono said rings true. It's good to have someone like Grubby with his positive attitude in the Dota community. Seeing someone enjoy the game in such a pure way and taking everything in stride is so refreshing to see and is honestly rather inspiring for myself as well. Awesome content.

[@raygun1414]

he's calling them creeps now instead of minions! One of us one of us!

[@caioruas6657]

That was insane. Mvp was luna but you were the most impactful in this game for sure. Pressuring the side lanes all the time, farming jg, perfect timing on heals. 10/10

actually one of the most wholesome dota 2 players Ive seen, and as someone who's played dota for a couple of years, I never write "wholesome" and dota 2 in the same sentence

[@Lothav]

Having a blast watching you learning Dota, Grubby! Just start playing it again (after ~3-years hiatus) because of you.

[@raygun1414]

You're insanely good at Chen for first time playing him! The only thing that you lacked in this match was putting wards on the map as a support. Other than that you're awesome at his mechanics and tech. ROAD TO IMMORTAL GRUBBY!!

[@dotanon]

I'm a chen spammer and I'm so excited for this. Chen is a god in the first 15 mins of the game. One large creep at level 7 can basically solo supports in the right matchups. Don't feel bad for taking creeps from carries even, it's worth more to you in your critical period than it is to the carry.

[@kevjun252]

Glad to see him doing great on my favorite hero. I played a lot of WC3 before too so I got hooked with Chen's mechanics too

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

I think if you play with a friend at these games who knows the game but not necessarily a pro might also be great, learing team play and characters maybe. Chen is changed a lot this version looks great and as we all know very micro intensive and you need to make good choices at certain times like which creeps to collect and where to go/ what to do. You used to get Chen two more items to have obscene amount of creeps :D One is Helm of the Dominator/ Overlord and the other was Necronomicon (now it is changed into Book of the Dead if I am not mistaken ! :) Keep up the series. This is fun you are becoming great in no time !

[@domeplsffs]

God damn, this was what i was waiting for, since seeing the Grubster getting into Doto. WC3 World Champ Micro owns as hard as one would expect - insanely well done, sir! Thanks for the upload

[@Freakattaker]

This is my favorite one yet. I've like skimmed through some of these and watched like 1 or 2 fully, but the courier snipe has me sold that this is my favorite one so far. Loving the dota content.

[@bantaibaman5662]

This was nothing short of pure bliss to watch. Grubby is an absolute God. This is his first time with this hero? Are you kidding me?!

[@runeheal]

Been waiting for this, your micro was amazing. There's so much to learn with Chen, all the neutrals have such a massive amount of combinations and depth. I really hope you upload more Chen games if you end up playing it when your next a-z hero gets banned or whatever! This was wonderful to watch.

[@atuks2608]

This series has been so much fun, I can't wait to see what heroes you end up gravitating towards. So far it seems you've enjoyed most of the heroes but there's a few, like chen and brew, that I feel like you'll be especially potent as. I see a bright future

I can't wait to see you keep blowing your chat's mind away with your first meepo enigma or furion games

[@SwedenFighter1]

Not sure how much you're reading KZbin comments, but anyway... A tip for chen, meepo, nature prophet etc is that you go into options and choose a 'group' for them, for me example, I use mouse hotkey to change to all controlled units, then shift to swap between them (this is not ideal if you wanna go pro with a hero like that, but works alot better). You could also choose a hotkey for every specific 'hero' under your control. Well played! :)

I gotta say though. There's rarely a game where the team is really bad or where there isn't at least one guy in his team that plays incredibly well whenever I watch Grubby play DOTA. I wish people would babysit me or carry me half as well as he is in some games.

[@averysim7709]

Taking the range creep on the 1st wave is fine in most scenario as you can use it to deny your wave to balance it out, if I play as pos 4 Chen in certain match ups I can deny an entire wave with it if I'm lucky making it a very valuable trade off for the exp lost. 7.8k mmr here

If you are playing for fun then okay but if you are playing for understanding them game then in Dota 2 usually players choose limited hero pool with same role so they can get so used to them after so many plays that they'll discover hidden mechanics in the game.
