			<description><![CDATA[Imo we shoud make mixes out of all the folk that come and post here all the time.
<br />
Like pickups involving all d4rk forumers.
<br />

<br />
I think it would help improve our play,or at least help others improve their play.
<br />
Dont u think it gets a bit boring playing same clan all the time, because i think it would  be fun to mix it up ^_^]]></description>

			<title>Hardest hero to counter 1v1</title>
			<link>http://d4rk.forumotion.net/general-dota-discussion-f9/hardest-hero-to-counter-1v1-t575.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Rockafella</dc:creator>
			<description>Ok so I've been watching some of the Sgamer Solo 1v1 dota comp, which got me wondering.



I know pretty much any hero in dota can be counter, or at least rendered ineffective by another hero. So I'd like to find out what you guys think, which hero would be the hardest to counter.



My list would be something like:



1)Bambi (havent seen a reliable counter)

2)Brood (seen countered by sandking and darkseer)

3)Viper (i guess brood could counter?)

4)????

Lets show other gamers that dota is serious business in the competitive scene.

I think if we make it a success with about a minimum of 15 teams and hardly any forfeits we wont be a waste of time to agasa .



PS: I don't have a clan so its up to you!.At least i'll have new replays . </description>

			<description>Ok so warkeys hasn't been updated in a while, so in my search for an alternative answer to my hotkey problems I came across this awesome site.



http://www.drjones.dk/customkeys/index.php



Its an online customkeys.txt generator and its dead simple to use. No software download needed.



Now I can cast tombstone without pausing the game to find the shortcut key. Not so bad 4 me but it started anoying the other players... </description>

3.) Axe  - Counter helix says it all

4.) Drow - Maybe only in em games.

5.) Lycan - Wolf form is stupid

6.) NA - We all know why

7.) Spirit Breaker - Ulti is gay

8.) Bloodseeker - Ulti is gay

9.) Juggernaut - One click as well,bit of skill but come on ,not hard to own with.

			<description>For those that don't know SK dota dispanded about a week ago, after being a clan for almost 2 years. And today it was announced that Loda will be joining MYM.



So i guess no SK for us in the Africon this year. Hopefully they send MYM or KS.Int instead

Anyway this got me wondering why they seem to be doing better than we are. To give you some background

			<description>I use warkeys since i find it easier to use than dotakeys. I have the same key layout for all heroes except Shadowfiend.



a - attack

s - hold postion

d - 1st spell

e - 2nd spell

c - 3rd spell

f - ulti

x - extra function (for reality during haunt/illusary orb teleport)



q - inventory slot 1

w - inventory slot 2

mouse side button 1 - inventory slot 3

mouse side button 2 - inventory slot 4



For SF I mapped z,x,c to shadow razes and d to ulti.

			<description>So guys I'm loving the new dirge, however now that he is a strength hero (very weird since he has a mainly spell based attack) I'm a bit unsure of what items to get him.



The first game I played with him I got talismans (didn't notice he was strength) phase boots and shivas. It actually worked pretty well since phase boots help you chase down heroes while u in Ulti form. Shivas also helps but I think there are better items than that.



Possibilities include:



SnY

Radiance

Skadi

Not a pickup, just a random game, although sentinel all seemed to know each other (Blizzy and co. = sentinel / Me and other randoms = scrouge). To be honest I was expecting to be totally raped but I kept my head above water right until the end. I had one extra kill than deaths until it got to that end game phase where all five are in our base pushing and our team is hitting them two at a time. I actually had K/D 2/0  ...</description>

			<description>Try out he newest bomb in miniDotA 1.03: Geophrey is a 1-on-1 monster that can produce some serious pain.



           



Geophrey, Mindflayer Ancient

Named after the child he first devoured, the Mindflayer Ancient is an abomination to the living. His very presence is indistinct, changing and twisting as his crippled soul attempts to fit into a vessel that can manifest in this realm. Geophrey is driven by a blinding need to consume and little tastes sweeter than the minds of innocent.

			<description>For those of u that are keeping tabs into international DotA.



The DotA community was in shock yesterday as one of the biggest merging has occurred in competitive DotA scene. Mousesports has decided to discard their DotA team and former Mouz players joined Ks.int together with their temporary Dreamhack teammate, Puppey. Besides that, Vigoss, number 1 player of 2007, will also be joining Ks.int to strengthen the scare factor.

Freya had her mortal flesh stripped from her while she was used as a conduit for a demon summoning.

			<description>Since Bots have been banned from Twighlight there is an alternative method for hosting games with low delay.



Its called Warcraft 3 Delay Reducer.



you can get it here: http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showtopic=213116



Only the host needs to use it and the settings can be changed while the game is running. Recommended setting are 160-120ms, the lower it is the less delay players have, but if it is too low it will cause spikes.

			<description>I've had a long break from playing hardcore dota, so I'm not really sure on the best strats any more or the optimal builds for the current environment. I've noticed an odd thing though, in more than one game already, me and my team have been totally decimated by Meepo, then playing against the same player in later games I realise that the player is pretty average and thus it wasn't superior skill. This makes me think the character is actually too powerful in some/most matchups? I've seen meepo  ...</description>

* Fixed a very old exploit that was recently discovered with Roshan

* Fixed a rare bug that could cause revives to malfunction

* Some performance improvements

* Tweaked Sentinel and Scourge tower bounty sharing mechanism slightly

Last time i tried playing on war3.co.za server i had a huge problem with my connection. Once a minute or so i got a huge lag spike and a waiting for host message. This sometimes happend when I'm torrenting or the like so i shut down all other programs which could possibly interfere and the problem was still there. After about 10mins of constant waiting I decided to quit the game as I was annoying all other 9 players.
