[@TakumiKhashi]

decades of dedication and hardwork you finaly became 4k then BSJ releases video "This is why you are 4k"

[@iamcbride]

I know right. It’s been a journey BSJ, how about a false peak. Not a freaking trench haha

[@A.O.0]

Noob 4k you r no match for my 1k pups

[@AngeUM]

Lol I am just legend 5 yesterday feel like finally close to coming back to ancient … then this lol

[@otabekmansurov6098]

This is so true. I just got to 4 k last month in my winstreak after dedicating a bit of time to improve and been stuck there for a couple of weeks. But this coaching I think is gonna help me a lot because I used information battle against legends to get up to 4 k and now I have to adjust my use of information according to my enemies. But yea I saw the title and got exited. Big up man

[@Jebu911]

Hah BJS is actually complimenting me with this title. He's saying im 4 times better than the people i play with

[@banzay123]

as a 4k player I’m aware of these problems, but its hard to learn and implement these habits. once game starts, monkey brain takes over

[@anonymousperson8903]

Yeah exactly

[@Nemchick]

Some people just have their limits very low...

[@matkoorsanic1292]

You can compare it to anything in life , from driving to jobs etc. Repetition. Once you do things correctly enough times you're not going to think about it anymore. Next time you play , focus on 1 thing in the game (lets say pick a thing out of this video, or something you know you need to focus on) you do that enough times with that specific thing you're focusing on , its going to become habit (you'll do it subconsciously) and your brain will be free to think about something else

[@huniverso]

what if my brain doesnt work@@matkoorsanic1292

[@ricsebastianejoson4208]

so fucking relatable

[@marularch]

BSJ (10 kills and 122 Duel damage at minute 24): - They probably now it's me because I have two boots

[@oopalonga]

omg this comment has me rolling, legit bro, thx

[@user-vz8ir6oe4k]

I was the range creep in this game. Super good lesson from BSJ right here. I can tell you from my (our) perspective, he was super oppressive. I was tracking him all game, and still managed to get caught twice. Because of how he was playing alone, we couldn't farm properly or take good fights even. That being said, props to my team for keeping the spirit high and for trying hard :).

[@farrel_ra]

What time ur ranged creep Hero spawn? 1:30? 2:30? 🤭

[@dotXem]

I was the void in this game. Super good lesson from BSJ right here. I can tell you from my (our) perspective, he was super oppressive. I was tracking him all game, and still managed to get caught twice. Because of how he was playing alone, we couldn't farm properly or take good fights even. That being said, props to my team for keeping the spirit high and for trying hard :).

[@alegro4046]

[@dimitargaydadzhiev878]

My guy, those games absolutely fucking suck, you've got my condolences.

[@doleg64]

But im not 4k

[@soldieroftruth77]

Do you think better wards for spotting him would have helped? I’m curious what you would have done differently as the carry.

[@bluejay7058]

@@soldieroftruth77 This is generally the counterplay: specifically cliff spots that are variably distant from where your team is forced to sit. Even Void is a decent hero for getting in, planting a deep ward, and leaving. You see the Legion on some distant cliff ward? You get to make your play (or lack of play) with that information.

[@jagmeetb]

i was Lina in this game, he is 100% right when he says "i know they're scared of me and i will manipulate them by not showing" the whole game felt like we can't do anything if LC is off map

[@jonathan6447]

this is a great video for offlaners. I've realised that as an offlaner a lot of the time the enemy team is so afraid of getting initiated on by you that even if you just jungle the whole time, you're actually forcing the enemies from doing whatever they want.

[@justintimbersaw3934]

I was the Lina

[@noelnemenjo1242]

17:13 This is why im Ancient and BSJ is immortal. I've never thought the viper gank logic. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@velvetstigma4961]

You are kidding me. A viper (with no mobility) pushing in the offlane with no T1 nearby and no vision on the enemy heroes. This is something even a 4k should know.

[@123456freakout]

great video, learned a lot. 28:15 my teammates in 3.5k would flame me for not fighting with aegis there and why am i alone top.

[@soldieroftruth77]

Kinda their fault for not having vision. It’s important to note that BSJ communicated to them to be careful while he was scouting. He got there quick enough though. Plus meepo blinked up there with no vision. In reality the meepo probably would have gotten flamed for that.

[@sludgepuppy]

Great video. This is the best format for these "smurf" games you do IMO. I'd be interested in seeing a hero with a different type of play style, i.e. a Tide who isn't looking to pick off the enemy etc

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

This is where you're wrong... because I'm uncalibrated. Kappa

[@SK3564]

I noticed at this rank that people don't realize enough what the opponents see, so deaths like the viper's are pretty common. Usually s a reaction they get upset that their teammates weren't nearby, so I'm glad you explained why and how these deaths can be prevented. In dota one can never be aware enough throughout the whole game, there's always more info to see and use which is pretty cool. But what's even cooler is how you abused the info you gave them with that void kill, I love mind games! Looking forward to more content like this!

[@DenzenMunguntulga]

i always liked how BSJ not only thought you how to play but also what mentality you should have as a player

[@jacobym.7943]

I love these types of videos. Maybe its because I'm 4.6k offlaner but the information battle is a mental game I love to hear about. Ty bsj

[@Ashirrainda]

That was really nice to see like, dire team understood your pattern of hunting them and started grouping up, but they only thought about using this to bait you in way later in the game, when it didn't matter much anymore. Which aligns with your video coaching the viwers game, where you told them to hunt dazzle, as the dazzle in that game, witch doctor could've told his team like "guys, this LC is always focusing me, use me as bait and we will get her" Communicating something "simple" with the team, can change the whole game.

[@lukabrsi]

As someone who just got 4.8k and dropped back down to 4611 I needed this. Ty BSJ

[@trishalm1367]

I am not even 4k yet😂😂

[@j1n89]

same lmao. the things i always get in 3k is people often over dive and would flame anyone if it failed

[@ThilebanTheEngineer]

This makes me feel worse being 1.7k 😂

[@TuxedoFPV]

Super helpful video BSJ, just what I needed. Keep it up!

[@paulbarclay4114]

Keep it PMA keep it bsj

[@franciscogarcia8797]

I think this was one of the best videos! Incredibly deep concepts being developed comprehensively. Keep the good work.

[@michaeljohnaguilar9532]

genuine information right there BSJ, true! decision making and adjustments during the game are absolute game changers, the reaction time and quick thinking is what makes DOTA entertaining.

[@kirillstepanov3952]

I love seeing how dedicated bsj is, explaining all those not obvious things. Although I don't play dota anymore, he inspires to improve in whatever person's craft is, not just dummy replay the same thing again

[@sakalamlangsakalam2173]

helllo bsj jjust wondering where i can contact you ive questions and willing to pay for you to coach me

[@MrLeva115]

I was legend 1 until I decided to make a conscious effort to get better at the game, and now I’m immortal 2500, it can be done!! I promise

[@jespersamuelsonmonkeygiga]

Can we discuss the never ending 1k pride of being kind of bad at the game?

[@ElderTitanOfficial]

FYI, I picked Meepo carry only because Elder Titan was banned.

[@lassejuha7194]

Also gyys, im literally 4k and play a ton of legion games since im braindead that way. What bsj is doing here is right, but when you know you have a very good early game and your midgame is even better, you have the choice of either going echo sabre or aghs, and yes aghs, i tend to go for aghs as it will give duel more uptime and allows me to join fights more frequently to help make space (and scale if you win most duels you cast), for my carry who might have a hard game or needs a longer time to be online. Aghs isnt greedy at all tbh, if you know you have so much dmg, its actually some form of defense for yourself as you mitigate 50% dmg you take. Take that info with a grain of salt, and well, i tend to make SB before aghs for dual initation and scoutign during fights.

[@coreyai2441]

Very informative. I recently went on a huge winning streak as a pos 3 and went from 3,8k to 4,8k in a very short time. But now i feel like i've hit a plateau . I'm stuck between 4,6 and 4,8k. While my performance felt quite consistent and the majority of my games i feel like i still have high impact it was hard for me to understand why i lose like 52% of my games at the moment. I noticed that i was getting picked of sometimes in lane while i immediatly realized i should not have been there at that time. It's very bad when that happens cuz i feel like as an offlaner you only get to make so many mistakes. You get behind real easy when you mess up like that. You cannot avoid that you have to play from behind sometimes but i place myself in unnecessary situations a lot. I have to learn this higher lvl information processing and adjust to this lvl.

[@pongsakornonnim1845]

This is a really informative and useful video.

[@ericsu0630]

*Cries in 2k...

[@tuananhphan2612]

Thanks for the video, that's really nice. I think it would be much better to have more videos like this. The video is not just helpful in game but also remind me of the good old days. 😊 Maybe you already forgot, BSJ, but at about 2017 or sooner you made a video about map awareness and how to play the map with Storm Spirit on gameleap channel. Same concept about he knowing that you know or not too, to describe that complicated thing, you used the mind blow meme which is very fun. That concept alone help me climb from 4k to 6k in 2 months. I hope you guys can learn the technique and climb mmr too.

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

Because i chose to be 4k :)

[@BudiTabootie]

I was the riki in that game, and spectating live from the field gives a super nice experience and knowledge

[@RichHeart89]

As a player with less than 1000 MMR since 2012, I feel honored to be called 4K by a video title

[@ofensatul]

lmao get a life and quit the game dude :))))) ur beyond getting any help. HOLYYY

[@Treasier]

BSJ: Telling advanced ideas how to play map. Also BSJ doesn't buy shard which would give him 120-150 damage for 1400 gold. He should have bought that shard at 20min at latest.

[@anemone144]

i am strongly 4k cuz i dont have time to deal with feeding sf pos 1 and brainless mid players every game. The most solid advice is to queue with friends and don't play this game solo

[@kimiesta]

I'm 4k cause before my last ranked game I was 3990, and then I won the game

[@Robusername01]

Great content. I think part of the failures also occur in the drafting, although no game is technically impossible, coukd you please creatr a guide for DRAFTING? It would help a lot of players and help balance the games. Many thanks

[@Kumpelblase397]

I just played with a LC Offlane and guess what. The Enemy Riki had more Duelldamage then my LC 10v0 She wasnt able to win 1 single Duell because she was always out of Position. Either she was initiatet on and got killed first, or she was so far back the Fight was over when she arrived...

[@YugenDota]

As a fellow 4k player, I can relate to these challenges firsthand. While I acknowledge these issues, breaking old habits and adopting new ones can be incredibly challenging. Once the game begins, it's easy for our instincts to take over, making it tough to implement the advice given. BSJ's insights serve as a reminder of the constant effort required to improve and break through barriers in Dota 2.

[@crazylego98]

I actually uninstalled today. I just can't fight an enemy team and my own. Every game I somehow have to do 2+ roles and shot call or it's 4 NPCs sometimes grouping. So mentally draining to see 4 people do stupid shit over and over, every week. They need a 1v1 mode

[@LeoArchive-k8q]

> Sees video title. Bold of you to assume I've even gotten to 4k. >In recommended "This is why you're 2k" Yeah, that's a bit more accurate.

[@mizu0135]

I feel stuck at ancient as pos 5, sometimes I get to play pos 4.. and I don' know what I'm doing wrong. Hint BSJ Hint! Maybe you can give us some brutal but honest tips?

[@SilverHand-fu1jn]

hey in SEA these days idk if its because of ESL . People basically stick 4 or 5 man from 12 min and push.... how do i deal with this

[@jakubjanca285]

Kinda dont understand how this is still a thing. Because of how team balancing works smurfs do high damage to community, by always playing against other players that are also playing above their rank. I am currently 3k, I do play pos 1 and I am always well farmed, can stomp games easily on 3k, but each time you stomp a game, your next few matches are against real try harders (I call them like that, but I rather assume they are from different rank as you can feel it from how they play - 3k players are rather bad than good). As position 1 you are able to still win most of these matches just by following simple principles. Issue is high immortal smurfs on mid or position 1, which in most cases are almost unwinnable, even when you keep good farm and shit. Overall I do think that even few smurfs do hurt a community, because team balancing is kinda broken, your team gets dicouraged really fast playing against such players, so even if you would be able to play match somehow and maybe even win, team refuses to play and runs it down. You can still climb in time as eventually you will play with team that doesnt give up often enough to gain MMR. It still hurts community because of this balancing phenomen and instead of actually playing the game, it is rather pure shit show.

[@kusog3]

I know there's alot of value in this educational smurfing on these low ranks. However, some reality is some people like playing on low ranks. For example me and my friends stay around legend-ancient so we can still play with our guardian-crusader friends. At any point we gain too much rank, we go for weird drafts like all int, etc... the point is to have fun playing and not get too stressed climbing mmr when we just got off work. This probably contributes to the idea that there are too many smurfs that aren't banned on low ranks. We probably aren't the only ones playing dota for fun, we don't really mind losing and we love playing around like diving, etc...

[@timmenhoff]

there's a lot of braindead 4k players but then theres a lot of good players and also smurfs of course. so it's pretty weird

[@gs-nq6mw]

he could play with 200 ping to sinulate not being mechanically superior

[@bojidarchanev8505]

not gonna lie I didnt like BSJ before for no reason but now watching this I can say only 1 thing - THANK YOU ! :)

[@krisjudemacapundag4191]

That was amazing. What patience you have. Id be showing myself every game greeding for the gold from creep waves 😂😂

[@BountyOben]

I can't even get out of herald, Uninstalled the game can't be fucking bothered anymore. Awful reporting system stomped by veteran players and flamed to oblivion for trying, you have to sit in a lost game or be struck with some of the worst penalties, fuck this game with cactus.

[@samsoliva]

I just pray and hope for the best. I play ONLY Support in SEA

[@cleangoblin2021]

This is insanity😮 Theres so much i dont know about this game and yet ive played 3 thousand hours. Guess i was just working at my mechanics😂 Time to use some real brain

[@MegaPatlidzan]

great contet bro❤,can you plz tell me why is allways 40 some minutes to find a game in 4 k bracket? i only play 1 or 2 games a night cuz of the loong machup .

[@alexwhiteman2628]

How aobut you do one of these, b ut you dont instruct your team to do anything. YOu just play. Because that's what all of us have to deal with. They all listen to you because youre BSJ

[@roxor0758]

small doubt on a decision here. Since you already felt that you were stronger than void at lane. Would it not be a priority for a blink so you and your team can setup kills on void or lina coz I beleive that they will be your duel priority in mid game right? I haven't seen the whole video yet I am watching it on min 13

[@joaoarthur6487]

I was 900 mmr before this vid came up thx for the 3100 mmr bsj

[@matejpolak4117]

yo why is meepo carry bad pls? main supps and i thought meepo was strong af since like 2016 - if you can play him ofc

[@belldandymorisato4519]

I wouldnt mind playing at 4k, in fact im not winning a lot and losing a lot just back to back win and lose because my gamestyle is not about meta in dota but about what looks fun for me to play like assuming they nerf sven im still gonna play it because im having fun, but when enemy pick meta hero which so unfair i still insist on picking weak one as long as its fun, just a wiki dota is a very complicated game so im having those exciting moment choosing a higher chance of lose because if i would win a very unfair game with nerf hero, that is such a best feelings for me.

[@guili2543]

real 4k player not bad player but fake or buyer 4k player thats ruined the game 70% 4k player are 1k or 1.5k player 15% 4kplayer are smurf xd

[@wispers-zr4jx]

hi bsj huge fan i watch allot of your videos and was wondering would be wondering if you would look at this replay for me when you have the time the match id is 7390936603 this is a legend rank game and the entire time the sniper and techies was flaming the morth for not fighting with them early and not fighting i at the end he super toxic and was blaming everyone for his mistakes was had one chance at the end and proceeded to feed and flame me for his death i didnt use ult cause we needed it to deal with the pa and the game was lost at that point i would just like to point out to poeple that some people even tho they have a certain rank doesnt mean they are at that skill level i have 600 games and he was very childish and was saying that his rank was higher so that means his better with 6.5k games but his doesnt mean anything it was like by one star :/
