0:31 “wh- why are you down there?” LOL IDK BSJ HELP ME

Finally a KZfaq video about 500MMR and herald related, ive been waiting for this

Dude, you are so professional with your communication with the client. Your learning methods and leadership are also on point. Keep up the good work.

I love the low mmr sessions. They make me feel good because I know about some of the concepts being taught, but I usually am still able to learn something myself.

I needed this video so bad... only been playing Dota for 2 months and it’s so hard to find content about beginner-concepts that are necessary to learn before you can understand higher ranked concepts. Thank you for remembering us trench-inhabitants BSJ ❤️

I like how BSJ is not judging. You can tell he is a great teacher when he can look past the "basic" things the tiny player is not doing, or doing wrongly. He can stay objective and give good criticism.

See, this is where you can see BSJ is a great coach: When he identifies that the trainee (playing mid) clearly has watched a lot of Dota, but hasn't played so much, so isn't used to the mechanics/importance of buying items quickly. That just shows you how incredible his holistic perception of the game is. Keep it going man 👏🏾

I just want to see the one month follow up with this guy. Does he take this stuff to heart? Or does he continue in his terrible ways.

Shoutout to this guy for being willing to learn and put himself out there! Seems pretty obvious that he's got a lot of potential but is just spreading his focus too much away from fundamentals. Hope we get an update and see him again! ^_^

This is the bsj we need. I wanna help people like this too.

This is like an nba player coaching an unranked junior highschool player. Love the content!

best content :D this is actually so good for us newer players. I watch your vids alot, and its awesome and informative and all, but breaking it down to the fundamentals is gold :D one can learn pos 1 & 5 especially good with your advice, keep it up, BSJ !!

Great video BSJ, love to see you really hit the specifics of those first 10 minutes. Would be cool to see the same thing from offlane 3/4 perspectives

Wow coaching for my mmr! I mean uh.... I'm a great dota player.

This video is so helpful. I'm so bad at the game rn I can't even tell the guy is bad from his gameplay. Thanks BSJ

I feel like this guy's general idea of playing is not bad. He is farming okayish, he doesn't force engagements when he is too low. I feel like he is me a couple of years ago when I started. Eventually he will rise in mmr if he keeps doing that...

Grateful for this content bro. I'm not about to pay for private lessons bc its just a hobby, one of many, so it's great you're giving some of this one on one coaching for free. Real gamerbro move.

BSJ is amazing even when he sees things that frustrate him. Such an objective replay analysis and even giving him the chance to implement some advice and come back later for another half session.

I can't wait for the next part of this Coaching session. These things are the ones that nobody teaches.

Melee carries that don't buy quelling blade is the bane of 1k. There should be a DOTA script that just deducts 130 gold from them and puts a quelling they can't sell for the first 5 min in their inventory.

I almost miss very low skill games, where i could pick and build whatever the fuck I wanted without a care in the world. Now it's all gotta be HAM without a thought of 'funny for the hell of it'

I'm 2k MMR and I found this helpful to get my fundamental priorities in check

Your teaching skills are getting better and better, BSJ!

I’m trench but the difference is I’m in ‘murica. We way too poor to afford bsj coaching lmao

When I started playing I had ancient/legend players teach me the basics so I never went through this guy's thought processes. It's interesting to see his wierd mix of decision making.

Finally a guide for my level

23:36 this guy is so denial XD

Im super excited to see how this guys does. Waiting for the next episode.

Finally a hearlad replay , thanx for the content

THE WAND EPIDEMIC, more widespead than CORONA

To all the trench players here. It's okay bud. Not everyone is amazing at everything.

I'd love to see a follow-up video to this one. Has this dude improved at all, or is he still stuck.

BSJ, The wife-beater is on point 👌, next step, no shirt lessons 🤣. On a serious note, love watching your vids!!

29:20 I've never thought about it before.

Remarkable! Thank you for this gem, BSJ.

Gain 980 mmr watching BSJ from 4K to 4980 now. My goal is to reach 5k.

This is going to really boost his gameplay

This guy's biggest lane issue was the Hoodwink hugging the lane. Within the first 3 minutes, they're all the way up on the enemy tower. Meanwhile, the hood is sapping XP. Sure, he was getting CS, but then Pudge got the hook into his tower and forced the TP out. All that CS lost over just that. Now you'll get a fat hoodwink support who will probably try to carry when they should be supporting.

BSJ's Hairstyle is to drool over 😱

im like him. i've been playing dota since late 2016. i put having fun more than trying hard. first time i calibrated i was like 900 mmr. i know i was the skills to be better but sometimes trying hard gets in a way of me enjoying the game. got back into playing rank 3 months ago and recalibrated 1900. earned over 500 mmr in less than a month then stopped playing again. rank is not fun for me but i wonder how much higher i can go if i tried.

I needed this. I’ve been stuck at 600 mmr for like a year

BSJ really knows his stuff.

As a new player calibrated into herald, one thing i realized is that i watch too many videos, but do too few of the drills... this leaves me with a lot of things i know i should be doing, but can't really execute properly. Rather than benefiting my play, all these things i worry about end up as distractions that fuck up my fundamentals. Learned from this vid that i should focus on CS and fundamentals first, then build from there later on.

One important question. From what MMR or till how much MMR should we consider playing our own game solo and when to rely on teammates? Given the right circumstances.

Meanwhile me who doesn't know what tango does :

More of this guy please! There are so many people like me who are like this guy lol

Love you BSJ. You are the best

my English Party from London is low immortal avg 2000ish. won like 16 battlecups together from 2017-19

24:00 - 24:05 I just love it

Really good video, thanks for your suggestions. I will be practicing my last hits for a while see what happens

I'm 3k and Im still learning from this video. Many thanks

In SEA server, the carry's laning stage ends at the 5th minute or so 😂, that is the time the mid laners get their Ultimate skill, and boom, the entropy takes over dota 😂

I got respect for this dude, getting a coaching session despite being at the bottom of the trench. That kind of attitude is how you climb. I appreciate BSJ imparting actionable concepts to work on in the meantime instead of focusing on the obvious.

The problem with Herald and Guardian is, it's not enough to be slightly better, because you can't compensate for the lack of skills or griefing (etc.) of your team mates. You have to be way above the Herald level, to play so good that you most likely stomp the game yourself! And you can't do that with any hero, especially the ones who are dependent on good supports or team synergy. But here is the problem! If everyone wants to improve to get out of the lower bracket, no one will! That's the law of gravity.

I just came back to dota after 7 years and im archon, i swear they all played much better right now.

Video for my bracket! I was guardian 1 at 850 week ago and now tilted down to 500 mmr...F

This thumbnail hits different

BSJ you have the Balkans in your blood

Thing about Herald is that your team will flame you and mald when you farm as a carry. Or push the enemy jungle/towers on offlane. I've found the game is lost on the social side when the game knowledge is nonexistent. The most toxic players will decide the winning team.

Is there a part 2 to this? I know it's a long shot of a question since the video is a year old now, but i couldn't find part 2 in the playlist of the coaching sessions which lead me to believe that it's not accessible to the poor people? (just jokes ;) )

BSJ u r really amazing and straight bro

Okey … this knowledge is insane … that why i stuck as cruisader 3-4 …. Thanks for this upload … i will rethink my strats

3:58 Evolutionizes XD

BSJ PLEASE DO A SMURF VIDEO GOING FROM HERALD TO IMMORTAL! PLEASE.

Shit I learned some stuff from this as 3k pos5/2k pos1(I switched roles and my rank dumped)

When I found this channel I was 10mmr and thinking I knew something. I'm fast climbing, already 400mmr. EVERYONE still like to go JG and farm with me, the HC, but I still manage to solo carry most of the matchs. I love offlane but my HC is 200 GPM so I have to be the HC. If I try to ask my team to do something there's a 40% they'll try and fail and 60% they'll tell me to fuck off cuz this is not the W.cup. It's as BSJ said: don't base your game in your team actions. 30% of the matchs I play with a friend who isn't a genius nor is studying dota but follow my calls and learn from my ever improving knowledge. Playing with him is almost granted free win. We have a saying in Brazil about "swallowing your tears and doing it" and that's what I'm doing. Who cares if my two sups are farming both sides of the JG for the whole game?

I would say that 99% of trench players are casual players that play 1 or 2 games a day. I am one of those (in the 3-4k trench for years). This is a factor most coaches are not considering when talking about getting out of the hole. Let's be real, considering that 99.99% of players have a 52% winrate, it is impossible to get out of the trench unless you play more games a day. And sometimes you invest some time to it and fo in a lose streak kekw.

hey brother , really appreciate what you have done in this video absolutely amazing the way you explained and that but is not jut that , no matter how much you trying to explain this fact and all the ways we should start and play on a ranked game in won't change at all believe me ... i just keep trying to get out of the herald zone and i cannot no matter how much i would try and 9 out of 10 times is not my fault i mean not my fault at all , my last 15 games i probably have like 6 or 7 wins or my last 20 games i have 6 or 7 wins all of them me MVP , wont matter what i play , support ,carry , offlaner ,hard support ,safe lane mid .. it just don't matter . And i come here because i wanted to say it over this content because u look professional in what you do and you know what means this game . The matchmaking sucks i mean it sucks so bad that it won't allow you to get out of the herald zone , i do understand the fact that the matchmaking should try to make it harder for u to climb into the division and offer you opponents of your samelevel or a bit stronger as a challenge but it just not that mate . The amount of stupid people that i get in my teams 8 out of 10 games is just so devastating , i can`t get rid of them in any way as much as i am trying . If you choose to report or avoid them the matchmaking it will give you even worst . i mean i tried , probably over my last 50 games i avoided like 60-70 players and report about same amount. I mean my skill is way of the top of the herald and crusader and probably anchor too and when i say it i mean it but the fact that i play only solo mmr it wont happen for me to actually achieve my real skill level and thats a dota 2 matchmaking fault and all the noobs who are playing this game without actually thinking they ruin other players game , they just don`t care. And i don't understand why the fuckers are playing ranked if they don`t know play properly ? i mean i am so sure a lot of the ones they have commented in this video section they are such a bad level of players that instead of taking information and watch how to play a hero and use the normal matches for like 20-30 times before you engaging with that hero into a ranked game ,because i have to say noobs like this like this Shit and trash players are the one that are destroying every single game in his way because they dont understand the perspective of a competitive game and that you actually need to join that game in order for you to play a tactic or teamplay . The game is not solo for you to just play by urself and trying to show your best .. !!! so much to say about this , i could write a BOOK . We need a solution about this . ! !!

I wish I could get a BSJ coaching session. I feel like I could show him you can play a 3k game in the first 10 minutes and still lose a lot in this rank. I can imagine how many people may feel the same way but the Peruvians, toxic people, throwers, Smurf’s are all more detrimental to the game than playing 2-3k above your current rank. Just my opinion

Is the second part of this coaching session available somewhere? Trying to escape the bottom of the trench myself D:

I am now @900 MMR ty BSJ getting better

cant understate how important the mute button is for this bracket

I am 1.8k and I still can learn from this. Such a learning curve

I haven't seen tiny played as a POS 1 in years either.

I am also in herald 4

the problem with the trench is that once you got good score a few games then the matchmaking system will match u agaisnt smurfs team while you are matched with legit herald player then you gonna win lose win lose win lose and you just stuck there unless you are high level pro player you probably can escape other wise only a few rank up you can get. i got more than 20 kills and less than 5 deaths then the next game im with legit herald agaisnt smurfs team always happen

I want the follow up session!!!

HELLO HERALD FAMILY

The tiny mistake was he was pushing lot being a safe laner u get extra armour under tower u r not a pos3 u r pushing like a pos3 . U dnt need a stick upgrade it was wrong item u need more utility farm camps till 9 mins if u r safelane... It will boost ur confidence

for once when i saw the thumbnail i thought bsj was smurfing in helard xD

is there a follow-up VOD somewhere as well?

banana slam JAM p.s. love a good BSJ rant P.P.S any chance you can get your youtube editor to organise your playlists in numerical order - eg was watching your training with a liquid guy and 10th video was 1st and 1st video was 8th p.p.s I learnt a lot from this video - I never use quelling blade I will now thanks

this is what noobs like me needs! some parameters by which I can see if I have done well is lane :D

I'm ~700mmr, but then again I've only been playing for a couple months

Try playing at SEA you're gonna be stuck FOREVER

He plays better than 2k mmr i've seen

The more you play the more you know

I have herald friends. The problem with them is that they actually are not willing to out the effort. They wanna play only pos1. Their apm is like 40, lol. They quit at min 5. They don't use 90% of dota features.

good sesh coach u on point rn

I cannot find part 2 of this video

Hey coachee, BSJ didn't mention this, but unless you're laning against Bristle or Batrider, you should NEVER start with Magic Stick on level 1. It's a complete waste of gold. Get stats for CSing instead.

i remember my herald days fucking cancer ofter every 2 game i found a rundown midlaner

Wow I am 2.5 k and the difference and the reason why 0-5 and 5-10 were to be played differently only clicked today. I had some feeling about it and had started to think about it but wasn't really clear how and why.

At 39:00 why would BSJ want him to buy glove over belt on Tiny? Wouldn't the health and damage from belt help CS more than the attack speed from glove?

how am I supposed to do 5v1 as tiny when I was doing well and I'm way leveled up than my enemy but then my team started feeding and don't help me so that led me to feed and suddenly my enemy is soo overpowered and my FV has build just a mkb and treds at 40 mnt mark how am I suppose to win that? and also my 2 teammates left the match. is it possible to win a match like this?

make sure you avoid getting DDoSed since there's not much you can do about that.

BSJ Senpai, when are you planning to upload the second session. Please do so as early as possible so that we herald scrubs can improve 😂🙏

Honestly, not everyone in herald is as bad as BSJ thinks. When im a support i pull camps and even do side pulls...and so do some other supports. I think the skill cap has changed a lot over the past few years and there are less brand new players. Am I wrong?

I’d just like the BSJ guide for what I should do for my first 10 ranked matches do I need to just commit and get it done to work from there? I’ve got 600+hours in unranked games

wow... this dude is really lucky... I play carry position in EU, on around 300 mmr and I would do anything to lane against offlane antimage... Ive seen offlane antimage only once so far and he was on my team 😭
