How Flagbearer creep changed Dota
Howdy! Dota 2 patch 7.32b gifts a new type of creep - Flagbearer. So, starting from the second minute of each match, a new Flagbearer creep replaces one melee in every second wave. Outwardly, this creep does not differ from a melee creep, but he has a small banner attached to his back and a colored circle on the ground below him.

Low priority in Dota 2: what is it and how to get rid of it?
Low Priority in Dota 2 - is the punishment that seems to players for violating various rules or committing any actions. For example, you can get into the LP for multiple abandoned games in a row, cancel several found games, and receive a large number of reports (complaints from players). Steam support states: "Low Priority is a temporary matchmaking penalty applied to accounts that have engaged in behaviors that are detrimental to the community." As you can see, the low priority applies mainly to those players who prevent the typical game for everyone else. However, there are exceptions. For example, you can get punished by disconnected internet or any other problems with your computer (you'll get kicked out of the game and given a few LP matches).

Buyback mechanics - cheat death concept or not
Buyback (BB) – is a mechanic that allows you to avoid death pause time and return to the active game. Buyback is the same fundamental option in Dota, like Roshan, Aegis, or BKB against a tremendous amount of magic spells. BB’s formula hasn't changed in the same way for the last 3-4 patches. At the same time, there is very little information on how to BB correctly. As a result, mucho low-ranked players don’t even think about the importance of BB, even in early games. Otherwise, 5-6k pts doters mindlessly leave buybacks even when they don't need them. These mechanics have too many subtleties, but we will try to understand and structure the knowledge.
Spirit Breaker offlane monster: guide
Spirit Breaker (Barathrum/Bara) is one of the nastiest heroes in Dota 2. You bet! His abilities, especially Greater Bash, make Barathrum extremely annoying and difficult to catch. He used to be very popular in ICCup and Garena but lost his “pub smasher” status for a while. Present-day Bara returns to the ranked matchmaking as pos-4 or pos-5 and resumes to cause a wave of opponents' indignation.
Pudge pos-1 – new “secret” strategy
Maybe you still remember how the Chinese team CN PSG.LGD performed an experimental draft in the match against CN Vici Gaming in Dota 2 Pit China Season 5 online tournament. On map-1 of the confrontation, PSG.LGD picked Pudge pos-1 (carry) for CN Wang "Ame" Chunyu. As a result, map-1 ended in 42:18 in favor of Vici Gaming. Ame finished the game on 13/10/8, but finally, PSG.LGD subsequently won 2-1. Since then, professional E-sportsmen ignored Pudge and picked him to amuse the community and fans. However, the situation changed when Valve announced the release of patch 7.31, where Pudge got a few volcanic buffs, which unwrapped hero's traditional pos-4 role.
Dire VS Radiant: what is the reason of the misbalance win rate
Since Garena's time, it’s known that there is a polarity in the win rate between Scourge and Sentinel. This disproportion had persisted in Dota 2 with Dire and Radiant fractions since 2012 when I received an invitation letter from Valve. According to Dotabuff statistics, the same heroes picked by Team Radiant have an average of 3-5-7-9% win index over Dire. This means that you're more reasonably getting the victory with Team Radiant than with Dire. However, why?

How ALAWAYSWANNAFLY helped Talon Esports reach TI

The roster was assembled from famous players, so they initially had high ambitions, namely, an uncontrolled exit from the first place, no less. But, unfortunately, the guys did not play well and got a disastrously negative result - 5th place in the second division. Thus, the roster did not last long because already on January 19, 2022, Fly and Gabbi left the team.
