Dude is so humble! The literal WC3 legend, but doesn't let his past achievements to inflate his ego. I think that's the difference from people who achieve things: they don't feel ashamed to learn and to accept their faults.

Topson said in his stream that Tusk is like Tiny but faster in this meta

He's not using arrow keys to move camera, he's using hero lock. You can achieve that by double tapping on the hero portrait or enable the Hold Select Hero to Follow option under camera settings and then hold the select hero key down.

@18:39 Grubby compliment topson Topson : thank you thank you Grubby : it's true LOL

Could you do something more like this? Observing pro players while learning from them, it's calming to watch and I learn a lot from this type of commentary. Amazing job Grub!

last moment before the game ended, topson's health was below 325. so he survived thanks to the talent :p

11:48 i think that ward is not that obvious in those brackets, I notice in high immortal they use quelling so frequent. So i think the enemy won't suspect there is a ward there just because that tree was cut.

the way grobby looks at tobson and ceb i look at grobby

This was very fun to watch, thanks for uploading it!

Im late, but i just wanna say that at @35:01 He probably place that ice shard intentionally to separate Void and Broodmother inside the chrono. Btw really like the way you breakdown things from waching other player, very educating!

That global agro pull to bring the creeps under tower at 8:12 was so sick. I never would have thought to do that - made his own creeps die faster to the tower to deny Kunkka the three melees!

Arteezy now moves his camera normally, fast for normal people but normal for gamers. Before Arteezy was a machine.

Watching livestreams is not my cup of tea, that's why I am being thankful that you have videos on KZfaq, I think that chats are enjoying the livestream, what is the name of music on introduction?

You can set camera position by using ctrl + set up button for example ctrl + f5 so everytime you push f5 it moves to that camera position. You can also alt + click on hero picture to get the camera follow your hero

"U realize that you will never be good like topson right?" - Well grubby may never gonna be as good as topson but within just 3 months, he's already better than y'all with 5 years of Dota.

wrong on the arrow keys, he just holds the button that takes him to his hero (or maybe tap-press-hold). You can also double click your hero portrait.

to stay in middle of svreen you can also hold your control group for hero - 1 for me - while using mouse to block

Really love to see that you are transitioning to dota2 !!! Looking forward to see more

Hi @grubby. You can hold press your left mouse button on hero portrait and move the cursor anywhere on the screen and the camera view stays on the middle with your hero.

hes not using direction arrows i think.. he is holding the select hero button.. also works for creeps like you control group your courier and keep holding the control group button for it while the cour moves around.. camera will follow.. all units generally..

how am I enjoying watching a guy streaming watching a guy streaming a game? world´s crazy af

i think tusk and pango mid are becoming a thing since the small camps at mid were removed, thus midlane hero picks are transitioning into high tempo heroes who go around the map instead of heroes who like to sit mid

Mid tusk really benefits from the xp and he's such a great ganker, but ultimately I think going tusk mid depends a lot on the match up, I'm not a good player though so take it with a grain of salt

26:38 she wanna name Jaina aswell so you're correct. Back in the days of Dota1 almost every hero had a second name. like crystal maiden/ Jaina or Nightstalker/ Balanar, Bounty hunter/Gondar etc...

hello grubby are you familiar with the "we are electric" song used in the old wodota glory days? It's very iconic and I used to watch wodota top 10 weekly with that background song playing.

Mid tusk is all about the strength of the early aghs blink on team fights I would imagine (at least I have friends that play it that way. You can blink on them hit snowball and then kick them into your team and release the snowball to stun them out of position -very powerful After watching I can say his build is strong too but maybe a bit dependant on maintaining early tempo and pushing early - hard to do at low mmrs

17:03 he didn't use phase boots to go in, he used them to get out.

@Grubby he's not using arrow key's to move his screen. He's using the grab screen button, lots of pros use this to adjust a screen. so you hold the button and you can readjust the screen. Alot of people put this on middle mouse button.

36:37 Dodge the global silence with the snowball and no one noticed, not even him I think

topson looks 10 years younger with the clean shave and cut! AWESOME

24:00 if u r CM and u say that in SEA pub and they will reply back "crying?" without knowing that you just bought a minutes or two for your carry to safely farm or even a potential winning clash

Hey Grubby, thank you for being all positive and lively throughout. You've brought in many more players and contributed much more than all those salty plebs in your chat will ever do. I've been playing for more than 13 years but my MMR is still lower than yours lol. Just ignore the toxicity some of the salty fanboys bring. Good luck and have fun!

Was Grubby playing death metal at the start or was it from Topson's stream?

13:45 point made saying he spent a lot of time getting the bounty rune and going back to the 2nd bounty rune that was left there for a 2nd refill is actually great use of time. All that AND he still has TP? that's the point. in one NON tp rotation, he was able to gank bot, get a kill, and give Ursa sustain and farm time. That's the little plays you need tk make as a mid to create the "tempo" and force the enemy to play into your game. now if there were a fight to break after that gank, he can still TP if needed. thats why it's really important to walk to your ganks and only TP to fights

topson is awesome

u say it takes a lot of time to travel to sidelane and back, but this is exactly the mids job, he secures not only the mid lane but also prevents the sidelanes from crumbling. so with his snowball he prevents the snowball so to say :)

1:20 topson changed tusk that's what, he plays it so others do including myself and i find success in it, its a good ganker

Hey Grub. Enjoying your content and personality overall so much. I ll give you some advices for Night stalker since it's my fav hero with slardar, that has kinda same functions, and axe. Also i find him very very OP. And i think he feets you very well. So the first thing that you need to do after you spawn is go straight to the edge of your mid highround. Because of his night vision (1800, when obs has 1600) you can see enemies HG and see placing their mid vard. I'd say that in 1 of 3 or 4 its ez deward. Also it helps when you going to smoke gang: you need to go first and if its night, you can see enemy before they can see you. And you can invade gangs and revill smokes since that. Than start build: basic is tango bracer, but if you are against spam, you need to buy stick, axe, tango with elements of bracer or 3 mango brunches and the third is tango boots when ur against jugg, slark, lifestealer, ursa or monkey king OR you have very weak, usually mele supp like pudge, nix etc. Boots makes you kinda independent. 5 min and brown or phase boots is your really big powerspike on lane. And the catapult spawns aswell, so untlill that time try to dont fight, dont waste your recourses and just hit creeps. (Secure range with void) Sometimes you even can tell your sup to w8 it. Try to do as much as possible because when 10 min on time, you r again very weak. The main function in the fight is to insta kill one of enemies supp. Healer or saver first of all: like dazzle, oracle, WW etc. Also heros like sky, shaman or disruputor are nice bec their strong spells and low armor. You killing 1 at first 5 seconds, than its 4 vs 5 so its EZ fight. Just like on clinkz: burst someone, than go a bit away, give a lot of vision and decide your next move. And you are very good at solo kills aswell. Also basically you are very strong counter to heroes that has so much escapes or dispell, that they dont even want to buy bkb: like ember, slark, storm and especially jugg, LS, puck, void spirit, tinker. So they are ot of position and you have an opportunity to burst them, do it. Just think about it: the only thing that helps you vs NS as jugg is the bkb, but you strongly dont want to buy it! Yes, heros like puck can buy ghost, or euls (that just delays death) but you can ez counter it either. Lets move to skill and item build. I think skills are understandable, but there is a thing: you always need to think about getting silence on lvl 5 or even earlier vs cerries with escape and dispell like jugg, LS, slark or void. Also its very good against heroes than can stop you: like lion or shaman or pudge. There is 3 possible ways to buy. 1. When you already won lane. And i like it the most: phase, magic wand, bracer, saber, bkb/blink, blink/bkb and shard. 2. When you have very hard lane and you have very less farm: instead of saber just buy one more or even two more bracers. With it it will be harder to burst sups, but still possible. In fights you want just to poke, giving vision and w8 for the righr moment. 3. When you want to be sure to dont lose lane or just an alternative to first one. Its armlet instead of saber and FAST shard. But firstly you buying "Helm of Iron Will" just like "ring of health", there is no way that enemies can deal with you with that harmor and hp regen. Than phase with wand, than finish armlet. After all that stuff you can buy whatever you want: AC for dmg (buy with hyperstone, not platemail, you are semicore, not tank, and also don't buy any auras most of time: it not helps you to stay alive, if you stunned, you will die anyways), basher for control thrue bkb, and the rare, but very important thing is nuliffer. Because you want to burst sups, but they will ofthen buy ghost. And you don't want to waste your seconds of bkb on it. Blink is important for same reason. So its imortant to click on your target in fight every time it shows on map, so that glimmer, that counters with 70 gold, or ghost, would not be surprise for you. Try to teach yourself to click on all of them, at least when they are not on lanes, to figure out about wards and new items but firstly you can just focus on your target in fights. The last one that i want write is about bkb usage. When you get bkb, always try to understand in which exact time you want to press it and NS will help you to figure this out: If they have only stuns with animation or cast point like lina, lesh, wraith king, than you can just keep in mind that spells and dodge them, its not necessary to press it beforehand. Same with slows and roots or like invo spells that kites you much. If they have insta stan like rubick, lion, shaman or just scythe or eul, than you always need to press them right before entering fight. Also sometimes you can skip bkb to blink if they have like only 1 stun hero, whose you will always burst with silence. There are even more things to write about this hero, but i will let you to figure out them by yourself. Sorry for that long text but i really wanted to share with you my experience. Hope NS will gain you a lot of mmrs! And remember: Day - walker, night - stalker!

Is Grubby playing metalcore in the background? My man

what server does grubby play on?

Song title at the start of the video?

What's the track in the start?

topson looks like youung pewdiepie now

This is so satisfying when you watch PROs play....

U dO rEaLiZe YoU wIlL nEvEr Be As GoOd As ToPsOn RiGhT? Yes he does, and so do you Mr. burpeeofficer. Atleast he's trying to be better at DotA 2 without gatekeeping progress unlike a certain someone ;) Jokes aside, I can see Mr. Grubby's dedication to get better and I truly think that he can achieve pro-level skill if he continues his DotA 2 journey. All the best, Mr. Grubby, don't let these sackbeaters bring you down, you have plenty potential to be able to surpass Topson or any other pro.

Gruby is a metal head?

7:56 this wasnt a bait :D its what happens when you try to use toss, and noone is in the vicinity

took the health talent because the dire cant fight after theyve used chrono/global/RP and if he survives them the fight is an ez win

it would be nice if u added chat in ur videos

yea, his 10min LHs and farm is low since he made a lot of space, if he had Lina, SF or some farming hero, he would have way more.

These gatekeeperz lololol, wait till u see grubby in year or two i put my faith on him, he has potential

Yeah shore

Its not arrow keys, he use F1

From watching a few (read: many but not all) of Grubbs Dota videos I haven't yet heard him vocalise or display understanding that although denies are valuable, last hits are significantly more important. It's evident in the laning phase in this video as you can see that Topson and Tiny are not directly competing to get denies. They're setting up situations that will cost the other player a last hit. For example tiny will stun Topson without stunning radiant creeps so that they will take the last hit from Topson. Based on what I've seen this might be something worth focusing on in the early laning phase. Deny when it's free but if it will (or might) cost you a last hit, ignore it. I understand you're not trying to tryhard specific heroes to gain MMR but focusing on this specific skill was probably the single most impactful in my own improvement back when I played regularly.

They pick Tusk because of Tundra.Nine

Watch fountain hook

at 34:00 he is attempting to place shards such that Void is blocked from his teammates and can't hit them under chrono. Unfortunately Magnus was in the way and "catches" the shard projectile. That's why the shards were in an unexpected position.

you should react next to Pro Dota player vs Open Ai, they lose to a bot!

Goonar...

There is no reason, because he is topson He is thenone that make mk go mid in first place

GRUBBY IS SO MUCH LIKE SHELDON FROM THE BIG BAG THEORY

Huge disappointment when this wasn't about golf... there is only one The Masters.

Grubby my man, Ignore the Crybabies of the Dota community half the people insulting and putting other people down are the thing we want removed from Dota keep trying, who knows you might actually be the next pro in Dota. grote liefde.

If he and rtz played together... Rtz will always win.. He will always have free farming even he sucks at laning stage so bad every game kekl

Come on, it is because Tusk can snowball his team. :|

Nice video and all, but you do realize you will never be as good as topson right? Keep up the good content!

Hello Grubby please react to ARISE Magnus in youtube and dota 2 reporter in youtube

What is the point of checking your networth and creep score vs Topsons when you play against people with no hands and he is playing vs top 1% Dota players in the world?

First! 👍
