Replay and insight on the match on friday
Ok here's the first replay agaisnt dilah's team on friday night.

There was another match which we were dominating but was unable to save or finish due to sudden power outage in Rain forest. It was safe to say we would have won this one if we didnt make any big mistakes like the first one. Too bad ppls
Just wanna say a few things about the matches. I think everyone would agree with me that they feel good about the matches. Our line up picking and counter picking is very good as it is and so is our warding and hero laning. We choose all the right heroes and I love the extra option available provided by -KS- (yong). Just by adding him as our primary fifth man, he really gave us flexibility to our line ups choosing. I think that should be one of the thing we could improve on, all of us should train more different kind of heroes so as to provide that flexibility in line ups.
some of the heroes that i think everyone should be at least able to play well are:
warlock, silencer, lion, lich, tide hunter, scorpion kings, treant protector, omni knight, medusa, necrolyte, dazzle and witch doctor, nerubian assasin.
witch doctor was added as an after thought as i saw how well it worked when Kyon used it. and actually all he needs to do is just maledict and stun. i dont mind if ur ulti dont hit as long as ur maledict hits.
in addition, i would love if 4'c (jon) can learn to play KOTL as soon as possible so that we can try out the new line ups ^_^ and also if gurkaman (adi) can learn to play zeus would also be good.
I too will be training the heroes that i dont like >_< heroes like queen of pain, puck and other heroes that need to be near the enemies. won't let u all down next time hehe.
now back to the replays. I saw that though we are getting better in terms of teamwork, there are still places for improvement. not picking on people but for example, at one point, 4'c was with yellow life and i told everyone not to engage but he still did. the reason to this was that i didn't have enuf mana to ulti them, and if we dont have that we're f*cked up in gang fights, as their aoe ulti's are really painful. and the result was all five heroes on our side being dead.
But its understandable though, i know how it can get when u're so fully immersed in the game that you don't hear other ppl talking. that happens to me a lot. but just try to communicate more everyone, you dont need to type too much. You can shout in RF if you like, i mean we paid for the money and we wanna have fun. lots of ppl do that, so dont need to feel modest. shout out loud if u dont have the time to type. its better to scream and piss everyone else in RF than your own team mate.
The final thing to say is that, we should stick closer to each other when it comes to late game. As i saw that was the reason for our fatal error that costed our lost. -KS- was too hungry and chased on (probably thinking he was god with all those items ^^ you're still a noob inside yong!). and our backup was either too far or too slow. this is important as once we lose in gang fights during late games, it takes less than no time to finish breaking into our barracks. so during late games, i want support heroes to be around the DPS heroes at all time.
but like i say, its ok. mistakes are there for us to learn. and i dont mind losing all this friendlies as long as we learn something from them. just dont make these mistakes in tournament!!!! hehehe
PS. a word of thanks for 4'c and gurkaman for always playing the role of support heroes. i know its tough and the constant lack of kills and money from playing those heroes can really demoralize ppl. but they are very important in the game and dont think for one moment we can get anywhere in the game without you two. The scores dont know how important you guys are, but we do! so keep up the good work.
That's all for now.
Peace

Support heroes = less pressure and less stress. Adi agrees with me on that. Its the carry heroes that get pressurized and stressed out. Support heroes are never demoralized when they're poor and have no kills. Ask me the sacrificial hero lol.
I'm sure zani would be proud to have WD in consideration again lol

True but carry heroes have more damages and would be killing ppl most of the times. so that boost their morale by a lot and makes them feel like gods. where as though you dont expect too much from support heroes, they'll still be doing sacrificial roles too often and might make them feel useless in the game. imagine supplying so much ward and only have 3 bracer plus boots by end game with 20+ deaths. no one will be happy with that.

well not really, much more than my death score and items, i wanna feel like i did something in a game. Since jon and adi always play support like me on the RedSpade team, im sure they feel the same. As long as we do something, we're happy. 3 bracers or just boots at end game. If dazzle has boots and perseverence the whole game, but bought 15 sets of wards, ganked a lot, saved the carry, and as a result the carry won the game, we'll be happy.
