Review of Enigma by SabeRLight-

Jonáš Volek is a player from the Czech Republic who currently ranks ninth on the European ladder, better known as SabeRLight-. He has been performing on the professional stage since 2018. This year on February 9th, he reached 12,000 MMR. SabeRLight is also actively involved in streaming, with a large audience. He currently plays for Team Solo Mid, formerly Team Undying. 

SabeRLight has a vast hero pool. Some of his favorites are Beastmaster, Dark Seer, and Enigma. He has LVL 30 Dota plus on all three heroes. In this article, Cyber-sport.io will focus on Enigma, as the hero is one of the strongest offlaners in this meta. Over the past months, the hero has been picked more than 1700 times at a high rating, with a win rate of 56.4%, which is a lot ((match ID 6745125943).

Early game

At the beginning of the game, SabeRLight- buys Circlet, Sage's Mask, Tango, Clarity, and 2 Enchanted Mango. Then he takes a bounty rune, after which, with the help of Demonic Conversion, he eats a creep range near t1. The gameplay on the lane is quite the same: constantly deny ranged creeps and harass enemies with eidolons. 

At level 2, SabeRLight- takes Midnight Pulse, and he uses this ability a lot to remove resources from the enemy. The player takes Arcane Boots and Urn of Shadows for the first money from the line. He managed to take off one frag and die on the lane. Learning abilities focused on Demonic Conversion and Malefice with Midnight Pulse at one point.

Enigma takes the ultimate ability at the eighth minute, and the player actively pushes the lane and kills the enemy Sven (YATOROGOD) and Witch Doctor. Then he destroys the tower in his lane and stays to farm, at the sight of a potential danger SabeRLight- hides in “0-vision”, and the eidolons remain on the lane. At 9:30, he gets Spirit Vessel, the timings for buying items are incredibly fast - 5,000 gold.

Mid game

After Demonic Conversion begins to learn Malefice, at the 10th minute, seeing the pressure on the safe lane SabeRLight- presses tp, saves the tower, makes two kills, and destroys the tower to the opponents in the bot. First Talent Learned: +50 Black Hole DPS.

Then SabeRLight- returns to his lane, where he makes a double kill through Black Hole. At 13 minutes, Blink Dagger appears. With a large net worth, the team quickly rotates on different parts of the map. So at 23 minutes, they take Roshan without any problems, and SabeRLight- gets his Black King Bar. At the fifteenth level, the talent for +350 health was chosen.

Late game

The next item in the quick buy was the Refresher Orb, but he didn't buy it because, with an economic advantage of 10 thousand gold, the SabeRLight-'s team was already destroying all sides of the opponents. From the game, I'd like to point out that the order in which items were bought was well-balanced. The Spirit Vessel was bought for the initial dominance and to reduce Necrophos's healing, and the Dagger with BKB was bought to use Black Hole. You can also see the high dynamics of the player's decision-making, he regularly monitors all the lines and moves to where he is needed. On this map, SabeRLight- did not surprise us with some unusual move or build but showed us the classic performance of the hero.
