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
