Butns everybody's mana, Solos a dk with army support at critical health, yolos out on staff at 20 hp, instantly full health and mana on less than half the available moonwell mana. Truly, Grubby has become that which he sought to destroy

25:20 that 300 damage burst against an 18 armor DH is nasty

[@IschmarVI]

coil + nova (spells ignore armor, except for the hero armor type which reduces spell damage by a flat 30%)

[@usualhumanxd353]

what a creepjack :D painful indeed

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

Wow, Grubby's really on a roll with this set.

[@S1nwar]

Have you ever done the dream of dh+immolation+lightningshield from an orc allie in 2v2?

[@Chayliss]

I forgot that orc had that tbh

[@Pettamer22]

Does the Orc lightning shield cummulate with the lightning shield from the dropped item ?

[@facundomoralesdiorio3802]

That frost wyrm deleted that bear that had the orb of corruption armor reduction.

[@IschmarVI]

triple-digit attack stat vs. low/negative armor while dealing double damage. Every single attack is essentially a level 2 nova against that bear.

[@Chayliss]

Ive learned so much war3 recently from grubby. Edit saidnthat pre viewing That bm guide helped alot. My bm now is almost my samuro level impact hehe

[@drakonli]

22:20 what the fuuuuu mana burn worke on obsidians????

i love your videos man, i watch em all

[@micahlarimer155]

After watching you for the last 2ish months, and after watching just how terrible the bronze league heroes players were, I finally made the jump this week to some online play and am proud to say I am better than the average bronze league player (perhaps not a high bar). Turns out watching a pro play for probably 50 hours BEFORE getting into the game avoids a lot of bad habit pitfalls....

what about a no hero challenge for warcraft 3?

[@laniftallon]

i like the dinosaur with 1000 teeth

[@ninjaaljun7674]

Not trying to backseat or anything but I've noticed grubby's play style at the start of the series using dh to harass level 1 like a far seer. Is this more worth it than mass creeping for earlier mana burn level 2? I think its very valuable against healing wave, deathcoil and against human, elementals and stormbolt. then again he always wins in the end, though i think its just because he is very good at micro, and when against orc, i think he loses because both bm and dh are level 2 when shadow hunter and naga comes out instead of being level 3 on dh having lvl 2 mana burn to cancel healing wave

[@ahmadzone3445]

See when i told u go demon 1st skill and 2nd skill what u will do?

[@nightsage217]

"I have less dota experience." said 6k mmr grubby

[@kyrudo]

Noob Human player here: Question: Why do we need to expand again? It feels like I keep getting told this and I watch these games where Human gets massively punished from a one base push from the opponent and just folds cause Human has to invest into town and extra peasants, meanwhile UD, Orc and NE are always just so happy to play off 1 base. So what am I missing here?

[@ambion19]

It might have something to do with what Grubby once said before, that human are the most upgrade available faction, but depend the most on getting those upgrades to keep up. With two other facts - humans relative ease at expanding first, and footmen dropping off more severely than other races units, and it seems like the answer might be: human is so equipped to rush an expansion and push for a midgame, that not taking the expansion is by default a msssive opputurnity cost and a disadvanatge state

[@niverden1175]

One base human is very strong. Especially against nelf. If you go for t2 push and while teching attack enemy nelf with footies killing wisps etc. Then blood mage for siphon and banish dh is useless and nelf cannot stop it. Humans do this on bnet non stop and its unbeatable if done right

[@niverden1175]

T2 tower rush with rifles and casters

you cut off an interesting part of the "flowstate" discussion and the beginning of the game at the start of the video. Video might have been too long otherwise?

Bro every NE game you build a shop then cancel it instantly? Is this like an orc muscle memory?

[@niuage]

Every time I see reforged graphics, I feel sad for the people who worked on it. There's no way they were happy with their work in the end. Just soul-less and bad looking.

[@planetary-rendez-vous]

I think it looks good. I think they should be proud of them (with exceptions). The paladin looks horrendous. However it translates to shitty in game experience because it's overly busy. It's bad direction not bad art, which means it has to be simplified. Also no portrait animation, shitty attack animations as well :/ and the animation and art team not sure if they're the same. The problem is that the studio they contracted received no direction. What do they think you get by cutting corners like this? You have 0 feedback and have no idea what's good or not. That's what happens when the team gets canned. Edit : ok the terrain art is horrendous. I was thinking of the models. They look fine.

[@elrondmcbong6392]

​@@planetary-rendez-vousidk. The orcs all kinda look like Squidward from that "does this look unsure to you" bit imo.

Typical UD brain coil nova

[@IschmarVI]

"coil nova good, must click coil nova"

[@DijijiyoRony]

NO EXPO !!! 😠

[@90sspirit]

I don't agree to "human always has to expand". Obviously 2 hu player died in 3 min each for doing so. NE just aggro harras with immolation in a close pod map and ur easy exp as hu. Just build 3 rifle creep and then when NE has to back to base after a combat u can go expand like any other race. I see this human slaughtering since 20 years and it's always the player who slaughter hu who say "hu must expand". Very ironic.

[@kevin-7091]

When the entire pro scene including all human players agree that going for expansion is the correct play, it is very likely that it is indeed the correct play. This is simply a survivorship bias, you only see the human that tries and occasionally get slaughtered when trying to expand. You don't see the humans that tried to go for slower expansions / tier 3 and quickly gets killed by the opponent's tier 3 timing, because those plans are never good enough to reach the pro scene. Obviously, there are some off meta strategies like Pala Rifle that can occasionally work as a pocket strategy. But at this level, they don't care as much about what is viable as they care about what is the best.

[@90sspirit]

​@@kevin-7091​@kevin-7091 so if your are not 300 apm Korean you can simply forget it. That's always the problem of competitive games, it's not balanced for 99% of the players, it is balanced for the 1%. Then you get slaughtered as hu. That's why 40apm undead just play always the same and coil nova you to death. So my comment above was addressed to the 99% not to players like grubby. The thing is, he tries since 2 years to teach people in his game of the past but forgets sometimes that he has to split his advices. He sometimes say that too, that he has to be more accurate in explaining such things. I just wanted to mention that a general "hu must always expand" is like saying "mothers always cook good".

[@kevin-7091]

​@@90sspiritHe was talking about human in terms of the opponent he was playing against, which is high enough in level that expansion is pretty much always expected. Grubby is very much aware about differences in different levels. In his beginner guide video for human, he actually recommended going for quicker tier 2 as the strat for beginners, and only fast expansion for intermediate players. And no, this game is as much about good decision making as it is about apm. It doesn't matter how much apm you have, if you are playing mass footmen against rifle casters. Having the mindset of not wanting to learn different strategies simply because you are not a "300 apm korean" is not exactly a useful mindset to have.

[@90sspirit]

​@@kevin-7091that's simply not true. I play since 20 years and know like 95% of everything what grubby said. But I get slaughtered in 90% of fast exp. Same happens to 90% players I see. So it's not a decision making. It's actually really pro style micro before 8 workers gets killed. That's why human is harder than undead. 20 years ago there was a speech that orc is a A attack move Click race and grubby admits it by not focus fire with them. So there are differences in races and how fast human can be killed as we can see in 2 games within 3 min. So it's still not true to say without additional conditions that hu has always to expand.

[@CloudianMH]

dota micro is dogshit. it always has been since dota2 came out. It is irredeemable. Which is why micro heroes are rarely meta... it's not a numbers problem, it's a micro problem. you have to deal with dota2 micro when playing chen or meepo etc. Of course there are people who wade into the unresponsive hell that is dota2 micro to reap the rewards of powerful heroes. But it is not worth it. Wc3 micro is 5x better.

[@dolod777]

I don't get your point. I understand that wc3 micro is geometrically more complex. Regarding Dota's meta heroes - old tinker, arc and meepo are literally the best heroes for stomping pubs and they are heavy on micro. As for Chen, the hero is 95 percent of time meta on high level so you are not quite right regarding that part

[@FollowGrubby]

Dota 2 feels really responsive to me. What's your gripe? They even have advantages like "summons remember their control groups"

[@SyRose901]
