My DotA Life, My Life

As I promised, this post will be about my DotA career.

When did I start playing DotA and how was it?
I started my first ever DotA game about when I was 14 years old (Form 3). During that time there was this game called Judgement Day, which is also a 3 lanes game with a hero to play. But the game has a lot of events, unlike DotA. When I was first exposed to DotA I just played single player without AI, so Zeus and Sniper would be played without ultis. :D During that time, seriously, I prefer playing Judgement Day. Then I played some 1 on 1 games with my brothers, lost almost all the games of course. Until Form 5 only I started playing on Blueserver (Battle Net) and I still remember my first game on Blueserver was a 3 on 3 game, and I played Razor, and lost.

My DotA history.
So I continued playing on Blueserver until SPM, and after that I had not played DotA anymore until a few weeks before I went to college, I forgot whether this college is KMPP or KTT. All this while I just like all the public gamers out there, with no teamwork, with very low skill, didn't even take last hit, didn't use all the hotkeys especially numpad etc. During this period there were these friends Soon Eu and Kai Hwai who taught me a lot of DotA basics, which continued to be useful.
After I went to KTT, due to limited internet connection, I only play LAN with friends there, and sometimes we went to INTI TBUN and challenged people there. So we created a team there, with WingSeng, Johnny, Chan Hui, Muruga and I in the team. Why I volunteered myself to be the sole warder? Because not many people can let go their ego to play this role in this game. You can't deny this. Even pro players are the same, you can refer to Ducky's interview quite some time ago. We went to a competition in MMU and lost like shit.
During this period, I improved a lot, a lot lot lot. Because I started watching replays, learning from the pro players, and copy their style a little bit. :D By the end of college time, I have learnt how to draft, and most of the games I played in Clan War room with other people, I was the drafter.
So here comes university lives and our team members were seperated. And we needed a proper team when facing seniors, so here we are, COCK members Wing Seng, Lian Jae, Chang Feng, Yi Teng and I. And all the shits happened.

Why do I stop DotA?
I decided to stop DotA because everyone has expectations, and the last few games I played, or maybe the last few months I played, I couldn't meet my own expectation. Maybe other people think that I was playing great, but I knew those were not my limit but I just couldn't push it to my limit. And my results have been bad, and becoming worse, so with all these problems I shall call it quit, when my 2.1 or 2.3 fail. But 2.1 was too fucking hard, so I knowwhat my results will be, and I quit it now.
Some other reasons are I feel that it is quite tiring and time consuming. I know playing other games are time consuming too, but compared to DotA, which needs about 1 hour for 1 game, they are fine. You may not know why Warcraft 3 and Starcraft can be WCG games for so long. Because on average one game of Warcraft 3 is less than 20 minutes! So it is more spectator friendly, compared to DotA, in which the spectators will need to see their idols last hitting creeps for x minutes, and only the gang bangs are worth watching. A Warcraft 3 game played by 2 pro players are full of events, except the first 15 seconds. If you understand Warcraft, try watching some replays, and compare them to DotA replays.
Another thing is about EGO. Yes, I have my ego as well,and when I should have been the lime light, I play a ward bitch, who always become the main target for hungry hunters, have no good items, walking with just a boot and tele scroll, some wards and maybe bracers. Then why not I change role with other people? Simply because ego is there in everyone's heart, and it takes time for one person to use all their money just for wards. For example, from what I see, Lian Jae playing a warder Lion still need to farm a Blink Dagger. It is good, a Lion with Blink, but from my view, use the 2150 to buy wards is the role of a warder. That is why my VS, WL, CM always have nothing, unless I ks some kills or the opponent never hunt me. As I play on, I feel "it's time for me to shine" and so I played easy-farming heroes a lot lately. Medusa, SF etc, with fast items and pawn these people's asses.

My best and worst experience.
There are games that I am losing and then end up winning, and also vice versa. So these are my best and worst DotA experience respectively. The psychology of the team when losing, the fighting spirit and of course the skills, turn the game to a victory. That's the best. And when we are winning, and start doing some cock stuff,and end up losing a game, this is bullshit.
And there are memorable moments as well. There was this game, in which we played at INTI TBUN, which I used Necro. Unfortunately the replay is now gone. I used BOT teleported bottom, while all 4 of my team mates were pushing bottom. But before I reached them they died. So I hid in trees, and opponent's Razor with less than half HP was farming. Then I came out, ulti him, he died. Then I was chased by CK and Lina, 2 stunners. I thought I would die in 5 seconds, but I kept Death Pulse-ing and I survived, and Lina died, with CK low life. I remember there was another opponent and I also killed him, forgot the detail. Then there came my team mate and kill the CK off. This is epic.
There was this game, where we, sentinel, were a random team, versus scourge with a few W4s| players. If not mistaken, Mushi is from W4s|. :D I drafted the game a bit, and I played Zeus. I got first blood LOL, and we almost win the game. We lost just because of a Skel King who didn't dare to go front and tank. This game was memorable for me. LOL!

Will I make a come back?
Actually, yes, I will be back to play DotA IF both 2.1 and 2.3 pass, OR 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 A. For me, these 2 options are too hard to achieve, so I think there is no come back from the great.
But DotA is still one of the best games I have ever played, and if anyone asks me whether he/she should start playing DotA, I will definitely say YES.

Thank you for all those who support me all these while, including my family and my friends. Sorry for not playing DotA with you all these few days, and probably in the coming years. If there is any question, you can ask meby posting a comment. I will answer asap. All questions from Facebook have been answered. :P

life goes on in indonesia

first week of block 2.4 almost gone. all the lectures dont look like they are something difficult partly because this block is adolescent and we all are adolescent. and this block focuses mainly on psychological change in adolescent, and psychology lectures are always nice to study, because the facts are not facts there. XD

quiting dota look like a good choice. motor petrol still a lot even though i have been go to and come back from campus for so many times. almost 10 times? maybe. but still full tank.

and a lot of free time now, maybe because before i went back malaysia everyday i had to study for exam, so no time for games. now, it is no time for books! so i am fucking happy with life like this. :)

new tutorial group seems great, finishing 6 lo within 1 hour. although the atmosphere there is not really stable lol. it is like a sleeping volcano, peaceful with not much peace. but,finishing 6 lo in 1 hour still makes me like it. hahahah!!! keep this up and this will be another great group.

i think i shall interview myself about dota in next post.

oh my cny n valentine

today is the first day of chinese new year.
today is valentine's day.
today marks the return of the legend back to his university.
today is 14 february 2010.
today is the day after yesterday.

so yesterday only i had the chance to meet up some friends and wasted some time together.
it was so spontaneous but ok lar, at least something.
after yesterday, the next chance to meet them will be on raya.
so whoever didn't see me yesterday, the first time you people see me in year 2010 would be during raya.
that sounds ... so far.

then last night started the journey to lcct.
what a fucking trip it was, travelling on highway on new year!
luckily i have no any girl friend, so the day is not as worse as those who cannot even celebrate their first valentine together. lol.
flying back to indonesia is always fucked up.
because leaving is saddenning.

then aeroplane flew~

when i reached my house, one fucking fucked up thing entered my sight.
damn it!
seriously i don't know how to settle this, and i have no mood for celebration already.
this is just a bad start for this sem, for this lunar year...

then i started playing game.
but it lagged hard that i died so many times.
so i off it, and now stomach is growling.
i still not yet take bathe oh my god.
but how to take bathe? lol.
this fucking shit is bothering me hard.

first post in malaysia

it has been long since the last update. why? just because i have been too busy. busy with life, studies, games... everytime after some works, i would ask myself: sleep, or game? i agree that during those exam period i lacked of sleep so much, but i still chose game.

for so many days i have been sleeping from 1a.m. to 5a.m.due to stupid exams. and on exam day i slept only 3 hours just to finish studying. that is why exam should be banned! it is totally not good for students' health, not only for last minute people like me but also others! but for the one who set questions, they were having good times by opening question bank and choosing questions to fuck us up. that's their job.

so ever since i came back malaysia, i cant even wake up for a 8a.m. alarm. i could not hear the "suara" by hijau daun also. but back in jogja, i can wake up just when my phone produce the first tone of the song. maybe there is a curse in my house? or am i too tired?

i have not been writing chinese for so long, and i miss kai ti now. but what to write? everytime i write in chinese i feel so disappointed. the glory is my past. i just cannot reach the standard i should have been. so the best way is just don't write it. hahaha!!!

but i promise myself, i will be back.

and for quiting dota, this is not a matter of joke. i think i have failed my promise so i will quit dota. i know 08 international team will have hard time after this. this team was the best in fk ugm, for quite some time. butafter the departure of this __________ (u fill in yourself) warder + ganker + drafter + overall-best-player, how would the life of this team be? but i will always support you all, and hope you all will pawn 08 regular and 06 inter as soon as possible. not only pawn but rape ok?

a lot of changes surrounding me recently, and one of the biggest one is.. the one im using now.

everything shall be kept secret! :D

good luck folks, and have funz!
