Match Against A China Clan

I was playing with Gary (DRC.Haha) and one of his friend against a China clan yesterday. They played quite well and showed some good teamworks. Eventually, we lost the 1st 2 matches.

After that, Fred (TaeYeon.imba) and Michael (Hadagan) turned up and we decided to play one last round with them. I was quite confident to win this match as I finally had a reliable carry (Fred) and a better supporter (Hadagan). It had been quite some time since we last played together.

Their heroes are basically teambattle orientated, which most of their heroes have huge aoe spells while our heroes are stronger on ganking.

The Longest Match I Have Ever Played

It was the longest game we (me (DRC.Lord), Fred (TaeYeon.imba) and Michael (Hadagan) have ever played before. The game was dragged as our carries were not reliable. During the early phase of the game, I made a mistake by giving out a 1st blood. After that, I teamed up Fred and Michael for small ganks and successfully claimed several kills. We forced Scourge to play defensively, giving huge spaces for our carries to farm; however they disappointed us. Scourge team grew stronger and eventually defeated us in some major teambattle. Due to lack of physical damage, I went for Divine Rapier. There was tug of war on teambattles and two teams had the chance of using the Divine Rapier. No spoiler on the result.

Great Chen play by NaVi.Puppeh. Some great uses of Holy Persuasion on allies and micro on neutrals. You can download the replay here.

Recommended Wind Runner Replay

iG_Ch_Y proved that he is one of the best Wind Runner players in this match. There were also some superbly executed shackle shots which helped the team to win major team fights. You can download the replay here.

A Replay About Us

I found this replay quite funny as we had an interesting conservation throughout the game. You can download the replay here.

Only 2 Remain On DRC New Roster

It had been months since our last training as a team. All of us parted away due to our studies and rarely meet each other especially me who is currently pursuing my degree in the UK.

I personally think that the members of DRC should spent more training time together otherwise there is no use having this clan. Therefore, I think that it is time for the clan to have a new roster.

The new members DRC:

DRC.Lord - Nigel (solo/leader) UK

DRC.TaeYeon - Fred (carry) CA

DRC.HaHa - Gary (semi carry) UK

DRC.MrTaxi - Michael (supporter) UK

DRC.Noxel - Leon (supporter) MY

The reason that they are chosen is we spent more time playing DotA together then the 3 ex-DRC members. Some of them even started on other games.

Besides learning the game, I hope that we could enjoy it.

Promised Video

I actually finished this video a few months ago but I've forgotten to post it in my blog. It was already in Youtube and you can watch it by clicking here. This video is about a game that we played against another class. Although our quality of playing was not good back then, it really showed how our perseverance turned the table around.
