Welcome to the Dota 2 Scrub cast, with your hosts Pyrion Flax and Joe Hickson!
Join us as we follow star player Daf up through the ranked matchmaking trenches of Dota as he attempts to climb out from the noob play filled trench of Herald ranked Mmr.
Each match is filled with funny moments, epic fails and wtf moments, mostly down to scrub and noob level plays.
So sit back and enjoy the rage shout cast from Pyrion and Joe, and who knows maybe we’ll all learn a thing or two by the end.

I knew Daf was bad at Powershots, but I can't believe he missed one on a target that literally could not move.

[@CHRSS111]

18:48 A genuine reaction from Joe there, hillarious.

[@KINGBEN117]

You know it’s bad when Joe shouts at the game 😂

[@j-mc2144]

I think I speak for everyone when I say that Joe carries the entire DOTA section of the yogs. From editing, to shoutcasting, to doing extra content on his channel with streams and podcasts, to keeping the scrub streams entertaining while Daf is too busy licking his lips last hitting. Thank you for feeding us hungry DOTA frogs

[@zigzera7757]

Without joes shoutcasting it’s a pretty dull watch

[@PCRman]

Are we sure people weren't asking about Daf because was unsafe to leave him unsupervised?

[@lgrcallum]

Just in case Pyrion actually cares about how one word can mean "they do not know", I studied linguistics and always had it explained to me that languages like Xhosa and Zulu are very morphologically rich, meaning that their words are made up of lots of different sections that all give more information, an example in English would just be like how we add the suffix -s at the end of words for plurals, or -ing to show that it is a verb. English makes use of lots of auxiliary words to give more context, like how we don't have verb endings to say "I walk [future tense]" so instead we have to say "I will walk" or "I am going to walk" but we do have a suffix for past tense with "I walked". Also just the fact we have to say "I" to denote we are talking in first person instead of modifying the verb with a prefix or suffix is an example of an auxiliary. If anything you could see pronouns in English as a sort of odd prefix that isn't connected to the word, at the end of the day all of it is just about how you think about the sentence structure/document it with a writing system. Also English makes use of grammatical relations in sentences to give context, like how we have Subject Predicate/Verb Object word order so when we say "the cat bit the dog" we know it's the cat that was the Subject, and the dog is the Object of this biting which is the Predicate/Verb. So with the example of "they do not know" you can see how in English we have to add this auxiliary verb "do" just so our system of making a negative verb - with another axillary verb "not" - can continue to function. And all of that is the case even though the "do" wouldn't be required if you wanted to say the opposite: "they know", so already our language makes this sentence a bit longer than most languages would. Plus many languages convey the information of the subject of "they" through verb endings, and there's quite a few that also denote if something is a negative without having to use a separate auxiliary word like "not" so you can see quite quickly how a language could convey all the same meaning with a single word. But like I said, the decision of what is a word and what is a prefix/suffix has just been arbitrarily decided over time, or by one person that wanted to document the language in the example of Zulu; those pronouns before verbs in English could just have easily been seen as prefixes that attach to the start of verbs if English was discovered by some Christian missionary in the 1800s that had a passion to document this new language he found. We could just as easily write "hewalked", "iwalked" and "theywalked" in the same way we do write "I walk", "I walkED", “I’m walkING” and not "I walk", "I walk ed", “I’m walk ing”.

[@abdmzn]

Another lanuage that has this feature is actually Turkish. They do not know is: Bilmiyorlar. Bil: know, mi: not, yor: present tense, lar: they. This makes these languages very difficult to learn, I found out the hard way.

[@pyrionflax]

believe it or not I do actually care, and this was a great explanation. as you can tell, I am not a linguist so this never occurred to me. thank you taking the time to explain.

[@napstacube]

@@pyrionflax Also, it was not meant to be Zulu. It, of course, was russian, just written using the English alphabet. "Abuzish" means "you are abusing." What exactly did they mean by that? Who knows. Just after that he also wrote "pidor" which means "f*ggot." "Люблю Егорку" also wasn't about the 1984 soviet movie :D. Егор (Yegor) is just an East Slavic name and Егорка (Yegorka) is a diminutive of that name. So basically they are saying "I love lil' Yegor"

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

If I had to watch Daf play without Joe being the voice of reason, I would break multiple things around me in frustration. Thank you, Joe, for saving me from self-inflicted ruin via madness.

[@LaughingThesaurus]

only daf could miss a point blank shot on a stunned, stationary target. I think he's capable of shooting a gun and missing the walls of the room that he is standing in.

[@G0bb0ForLife]

Daf is so unbelievably bad at Windrunner. His brain just smoothes out the moment he picks her and he returns to his Herald glory days.

[@Nevario1]

He is unbelievably bad at Dota. It's ridiculous how bad he is. He's like a true idiot. In the most literal sense.

[@MartoLun]

Unironically a better Meepo than he is with WR

[@Lynkah]

Daff missing that shot on the gripped Disruptor was truly abhorrent. I am so sorry you had to endure that while sick, Pflax! Also

[@MrTuneslol]

Somehow Daf manages to yet again dazzle us by continuing to play worse than before. I honestly don't get how it's even remotely possible to put so many hours into something, but refuse to get any better. Because to some degree it most certainly is intentional, wilful ignorance. He _genuinely_ thinks he knows better than everyone else in all situations. Daf is the personification of the Dunning-Kruger effect, with permanent residence on its highest mountain. Watching him not only ignore, but actively oppose advice people give him is absolutely infuriating. Poor Joe, I can't imagine having to try and coach him every week for the past few years. If that was me, I'd have just ended it all by this point 💀 And hot _damn,_ I can't wait for next week's episode 😅

[@colossaldonut5190]

You definitely can do something a ton but be awful at it. The difference between improvement is practise and a willingness to grow which Daf definitely has not shown to really do either.

[@minimagnum48]

18:47 The pure hatred in Joe's voice, thats what Scrub Dota is about

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

Four bots already. Double Dragon hit the mainstream!

[@peterzuurbier4506]

18:44 is not REAL, IT'S NOT REAL!!

[@adubs365]

Did he just miss a power shot on a stationary target 😂

[@jackhindley2452]

I was at birmingham, met joe, and notably did not say anything about daf! :D

[@mungobaggins8197]

The first Daf scrub cast was a windranger game in 2021. See how far he’s come…

[@colossaldonut5190]

He's evolved to being able to miss shots on stunned targets.

[@gd1247]

Man, Joe is such an integral part of these. Can't imagine it without him anymore. Love the scrubcasts and the podcast.

[@aidancram2312]

The only sad part about going to Birmingham was not seeing Joe

[@jamessharman9247]

I saw the video title and audibly cheered

[@Thoran666]

Daf insults by Pyrion are top again. Well deserved for those plays.

[@hats1642]

I know Pyrion, but who's the other guy? Is he friends with Daf?

[@Restartkun]

Aww I missed you guys. I wish it was longer haha

[@skrattzerat5831]

I clicked like as soon as I saw the title, Daff WR is too entertaining 18:45 is glorious

[@MrCrownedClown]

I feel with pyrion. Dafs windrunnner was so bad it hurt me... i had to take 10min break in the middle of the video.

[@tiamatslayer]

18:45. And thus the legend of DaftnotDaf was cemented..

[@AcceptTheNull]

People need to remember about a lot of players, they get shell shocked, game over game, because they fall so far behind in levels and items, every game, that the enemy hero become comparably OP. This leads to a cycle, as they get stomped by a hero that was seven levels ahead, this leads to the player then in a panic early the next game. They fall behind and eventually the enemy overtakes them in levels and money and the cycle is back to the beginning, stomped.

[@TheOnlyOrk]

oh that was some fails of the week level bad powershots

[@sadlib_7463]

18:47 epic power shot.

[@deathpyre]

Every time Daf's teamate is getting attacked he is so far away not helping. Even when hes there he backs up so much so they cant possibly catch him when he could just be helping at full health

[@sharqking]

I was so disappointed when I turned on the beginner's stream for ESL Birmingham and it WASN'T Joe and Pyrion. I was convinced it would be them. Missed opportunity by ESL for sure.

[@jakobtoll3860]

joe you are the man

[@yake222]

that powershot was game winning.

[@atahannd.9937]

I didn't believe the stuff you said about banes phylactary aghs combo. So I tested it in the hero demo and you are right and what the fuck it is so much damage.

[@Lucas-gt8en]

Happy y’all back ❤️

[@Njald]

That poor pudge, they did not deserve this fate.

[@ivantumanov1015]

If I had this game's windranger as support i'd rather quit and get banned for 6 months than keep playing

[@GruntCatcher]

Babe wake up! Team Double dragon posted a new Dota video!

[@user-eq8in2xw6y]

Pyrion will have to consult sips’ lawyers on deleting the channel, he still needs his 50%

[@zachoxley6376]

I don't think the fiends grip bane works anymore tried it in demo today only 1 procs

[@Taudlitz]

we are so barack

[@Zombles581]

Wait who’s Joe?

[@talkbirdy2me]

18:46

[@logansullins4545]

We all know people were ACTUALLY saying: "where's Lewis?" Bring him back. This is Team Double Dragon. Neither Pyrion nor Joe are part of Team Double D.
