Welcome to TFF, where games meet community.

Hey Fraggers

TFF has grown so much. It was 2 years ago, Zani and myself were sitting down at CLT, waiting for his girlfriend and my sister to finish their night class.

Whilst drinking our green tea, and smoking our menthol sempuerna, discussing about games and lan party, Team Frag Factory was born.

From a small time lan party organiser, started by 2 guys, has now evolved into a huge gaming community ( a gamunity? hehe), where our gamers play games ranging from FPS games like CoD and CS, RTS games like DoTA, online gamings, and even console games.

I know our CS Clan is doing well with their matches, great job guys. DotA team learning their new ganking maps. *looks at Adi going mental wahahaha* and CoD, with Pentagonis owning everyone on Neraka server and getting kick continously, TFF.CoD is looking good. Very soon, after exams TFF.CoD will start training.

I also like to welcome a new addition to TFF, TFF.Audition. Ranked on the top 300 of the Sea East Asian Ladder of over a thousand guilds, Id like to say that Im proud to have my sisters and their guild to be part of TFF.

Lastly, I would like to end this post, with this link.

Welcome Home Guys =B

im not a designer, so dont judge me >.<

We want to WIN in 6.52e!!!

2008-11-15T02:23:00.004+08:00

Hi guys~ Its been a while since I actually post anything up in this blog other than schedule of matches.

This week is going to be our last week of training session due to players having examinations.

And we going to start training during 9th december comes and that will be pretty intense ^^

But at the end of our session i would like to compile all of our effortsm training and matches together. As i said, we want to win in 6.52e

but before that i would like to thank my players, u guys have no idea how grateful i am being the captain of this team because it has so much potential for improvement and even we felt it is so near yet it is so far.

Raven - with all the enthusiam even he always ends up with an impossible fight but sometimes gets it through with some miracle actions of teamwork.

4'c - having using support and sacrificial heroes every game and not even not even once complaint about being the poorest 1 in teh group but helps out throughout the map.

Gurkaman - learning out wards, tactics, farming, denying and stil is our super rookie ^^

-KS- - One of our all rounder player and able to come out with some unusual tactics but its probably one that we always hoped for.

Kyrios - for not being someone that complains alot about heroes that are chosen for him but show alot of ethusiam in every game and also one of our super rookie ^^

without u guys i wont be able to play a very controlled game and i want to thank you all for that.

so i hope when it comes to a point where we will syncronize more as a team we will actually see how much we can do in this e-games event and see how far we can go with jus the 6 of us ^^

but before that day comes let put our game face on everygame and not feel overconfident of every opponent and stick to 1 mind set

"WE WILL WIN IN 6.52E!!!"

I personally will not be slacking off my training session because i know u guys are putting your hopes in ur captain and sometimes i know i let you guys down because of my unstable decision because i always put my emotions upfront before anything else ><

but i will make sure no emotions of anger comes in my mind and i have to thanks u guys for reminding me that all times. Thank You

Lets train more individual clan wars during this hibernation time and by the time we can gather again we will rock E-Sport once more.

I wont let u guys DOWN!

http://www.inworg.com/my.php?down=48936&file=34675e9aab

Again we lose, and again we lack the fifth players. -KS- (yong) had personnel problems and couldn't make it to the match. It might have been better else wise. but no prob, i've decided to bring in a friend of mine to become our super sub from now on. Hence even when -KS- cannot make it, at least we wont be that bad off. and i believe he would fit in well to our line up picks of heroes. but whether he has teamwork or not, we can only know through real game playing. So i've asked our ahem *beloved team leader* (pui...) to arrange for a friendly match on wednesday and try him out. Pls feel free to comment on whether you guys think he should be one of us after the try out ok? don't be shy on ur opinions. (you can even vote to have inge selin kicked out or retrained due to his noobness)

its ok though, even though we lost those two matches. i still feel that it wasn't totally getting owned kind of match. of course we still lack precise teamwork but whenever we do click we end up killing 3 of theirs at least. We just need to play more as a team and gradually we'll improve in that area.

its ok 4'c (jon) and gurkaman (adi), you guys are just lacking a bit of experience in ganking and situational fight. i will try my best to play the ganker role and help you guys out. I'm not saying i'm extremely talented in DOTA or anything, only that i've had more time playing this game than you guys. No one is born good at anything, as you play more matches experience will build up and surely the day will come when all of us click like clockwork. I see potential in this team and with us 3 doing all we can to buy time/harrass the opponent so that our two carry heroes get fat, we are sure to win all the games to come.

But most importantly, dont get too upset after every loses in friendlies. you can get fired up and motivated to improve in the next match, but just beating your self up is not gonna help anything. like i say, losing friendlies means nothing. our aim is for tournaments and being champions. I personally is not in it for the prize money, just the pride of winning when it counts and also for the love of the game.

have to work on the noob shot for this week... who will it be??? hehehhe

thats all for now

Peace

WEEKLY MATCH UP! DOTA CHAMPION LEAGUE FOR INHOUSE PLAYERS

2008-11-05T19:59:00.002+08:00

Hey guys! your beloved captain has decided "hey! lets all work on our hand and eye coordination and start sharpening up our farming skills.

What more of a better idea than just having 1 v 1 match every week with the inhouse dota players! would you all like to see who gets it every week?

Example:

This week - we have the team captain TFF.dota Inge-S going against 1 v 1 with every player in his team and count scores of win and loses for every game.

2nd week - we have Raven going against 1 v 1 with every player in the team and scores will be counted accordingly.

3rd week and so on~~

it'll be lots of fun and we all get to train different types of heroes!

modes will be -apshomnp ( allpick, same hero, only mid, no powerups )

rules - 3 deaths and 2 tower burst

So this week we'll have the team captain going against his whole team!

lets anticipate the results! ^^

and you guys can vote who you want to see getting gang up nextweek! how does that sound?

WEEK 1

Kyon's Forgotten Heroes : Enigma

2008-11-03T21:45:00.003+08:00

Welcome to another edition of Kyon's boredom.. err i mean, Forgotten Heroes. Today we shall talk about Darchrow, our friendly non-speaking blue blob. Dar-dar has been a staple of old hero lineups way back in 6.10 onwards when he was still unstunnable and unstoppable with his Black hole. However, since 6.27 onwards, he has slowly and slowly entered his own black hole and become a non-existant support hero. Today we'll look at an innovative way to play this versatile Enigma.

I can't blame people for not using Dar-dar. He's slow, he has a shitty stun, a lousy creep summon, and a very slow hitting AoE Dot. He has low armor, low health, doesnt talk much so he's not remotely funny *Ahhh the great outdoors!*, and worst of all, stun heavy teams rape him (which by definition is every team on the competitive scene nowadays). He's extremely situational, and he can only cast his ulti once every 200 secs, give or take a year. His creeps even give as much gold as a normal creep and last shorter than a virgin's first night with a prostitute. Yes, the little creeps only last 5 seconds under heavy pressure. Disappointing, I'm sure

*But wait, why are we remembering a shitty hero? Isnt a Forgotten Hero supposed to be owning?*

Well not the old way of playing him. That's really too limited. The BKB-Blink-Pulse-BH combo is really old. I mean, Kolo Mee was still 50 cents when that started. Let's not dwell on the past. Lets instead look at the current stage, when Kolo Mee is 3.00 (yes i was surprised too when i ordered it at Netzone)

Enter Kyon's new and improved Enigma. The Blue Battle Blob, or the B3. With the new B3, no longer will you stand idly by as your teammates dish out damage while you Mekansm behind them. No longer will Dar-dar be a weak one combo hero. The new B3 format will bring a new meaning to RUN BITCH RUN! Let me elaborate...

The B3 does not use Midnight Pulse or Conversion, that was sooooooo 4 years ago. The B3 will opt for Malefice and stats. The B3 does not take level 2-3 Black Hole. Gosh, 400 mana for 2 extra seconds of sucking. Not too good. The B3 WILL NOT BUY MEKANSM. Leave that for the SUPPORT heroes. The B3 will be a GANKER. It will rape, it's desperate and its horny every night. Come one, come all, B3 doesnt discriminate. Man, woman, orc or elf, It rapes all (I'm pretty sure Dar-dar is a trannie)

The B3 WILL use the Orchid. The B3 wears Treads. The B3 attacks people to death. B3 will use Blink (just a throwback to the old skool style). The B3 will gank as soon as it is level 7. It will not stop when it gets a Perseverance. Stun. Hit. Kill. Rinse and repeat. Make your way up to a Shiva, or an Crystalis. Gank, Kill, Repeat. Take stats all the way till you're 16, den Pulse for your complaining teammates. Gank Gank GANK! The B3 listens to no one, but will Pulse once every so often so you're happy, nubs.

Why will this work? Enigma has insane range, high Int gain (high damage gain), a stun that makes enemies unable to counter attack if you time it right, and oh yeah, i think it has Black hole or some shit like that. Plus, it regenerates like Claire Bennett with a Perseverance, something other gankers cant do without higher items. Dont get hit, Backstab enemy fuckers and you wont lose a bit of health, be Godlike.

Kyon-approved. Battle tested.

B3. The new way to play

TFF "eca" day

2008-11-03T21:24:00.006+08:00

During the TFF "eca" day a few days ago (bowling + Jerudong Park), it was decided we should have one every two weeks. So now i'm posting it up making it official.

Attendance is semi-compulsory cos if not many ppl turn up it will be dead boring... baik main cs...

I hope we all agree that having a break from gaming AND spending time together outside of DotA, CS etc will help us to recuperate and improve our teamwork all the while getting to know each other better. In the long run I think it's these types of activities that will allow TFF to stand the test of time... So yeah!!! EMO!!! Lets go!!!

cs short-term hibernation

2008-11-03T21:08:00.002+08:00

The cs part of TFF is currently on a weeklong break which ends on Thursday and we already have a team lined up to have a match against. Hopefully jimins team can make it cos i'm really starting to miss cs ... maybe i should get rockband? Do they sell just the Drums? Its fuc|< ing awesome!!!!!!!!

TFF's LAN Party

2008-11-03T13:06:00.005+08:00

So it's that time of the month again.

Details as below:

Venue: Dee's Place

Date: Saturday 8th November 2008

Time: After 12pm would be best.

Fee: BND 1.00

Contact : Zani Pemajal, PantyGoonies, Gabriel or SpendeD

There will be games, Rockband, Guitar Hero, COD, Warhammer, DotA and more.

Pot luck optional. Menu is BEEF STEW (AWESOMENESS), SOTO (THE BEST EVER!!!) and drinks WILL BE PROVIDED hence the 1 dollar fee.

TFF's GMs loves Rock Band (PS3)

2008-11-02T15:02:00.004+08:00

Gabriel bought RockBand for his PS3 last night. He invited TFF.GM Zani Pemajal and his TFF.Officers, PantyGoonies, SpendeD, Eyakuza and Soul112 (si fatul bah) to his crib last night. The agenda was

1) to review RockBand

2) to plan TFF's upcoming Lan Party on the 8th of November.

Well, the moment RockBand was plugged in, throughout the night, the TFF GMs and Officers were fighting for the drum kit, guitar and mic, literally. Punches were thrown, faces were slapped, legs were pulled, balls were kicked. It was a massacre. Gabriel, Zani Pemajal and Fatul wanted to play the drum kit. SpendeD and Eyakuza were fought for the mics, and when neither were available, Pantygoonies, Fatul and Zani Majal beat each other up for the guitar.

Why ?

Because ROCKBAND IS FUCKING AWESOME. (if you disagree, i WILL FUCKING KILL YOU)

Have you ever seen Zani Pemajal NOT playing CS? Have you ever seen the tempermental Eyakuza sing his heart out full of emotion? Have you ever seen Fatul not making jokes? We'll, you'll be suprised what ROckBand have done to them >.>

Yeah, RockBand was so addictive, that "Can I have a go next?" phrase were overused. It was so bad that we couldnt planned about next Lan Party>.> (whats to plan ... really? haha)

But one thing for sure, you'll be seeing Gabriel's Rockband at the TFF's Lan Party, on the 8th November.

Ps. SpendeD and Panty, please upload photos from lastnight.

Noob shots

2008-11-02T13:57:00.005+08:00

Ok just to spice up the blog abit, I've decided to add in what i would like to call NOOB SHOTS.

basically its just the freeze frame picture of things of bad things that should never be done and yet was done ^_^

Ok here as you can see, magnataur positioned himself nicely in between warlock and lanaya. With his ulti + lich's ulti and with magnus having DD, you would think its confirm two heroes death right? Plus puck was just out of this screen. so he could blink in fast.

But magnus was 0.1 sec too late, resulting in not capturing warlock in his ulti. you can't see but puck was also too late in using his wave and ulti plus silence. But mainly i still feel that its lich's fault for not novaing the warlock and throwing his chain ulti fast enuf. end conclusion, inge selin is noob.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok this time here, its just the beginning of he game. so with lich's nova and juggernauts' spin, they can at least kill nevermore right?

Wrong! lich went and used his nova on the strength hero that has 700+ life instead of the nevermore that has 500+ life. resulting in them not being able to kill even one hero. some more, the opponent paused game here, so he should have more than enuf time to choose and nova nevermore instead of tide. end result, again inge selin is noob. plz never use lich again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok thats all for now, lazy find so many noob shots.

so here's the conclusion.

heroes found caught in noob shots are:
inge-selin - 2 times,
gurkaman - 1 time,
Raven - 1 time,
-KS- - 1 time (but not really his fault he already did all he could)
4'c - 0 time, (but that's only cause i lazy find your noob shots!!! hehe)

so the winner of this week's noob shot is inge-selin!!!
pls give a round of applause to this weeks biggest noob! but seriously, plz never use lich again. EVER!!!

Replay and insight on the match on friday

2008-11-02T13:30:00.001+08:00

Ok here's the first replay agaisnt dilah's team on friday night.
http://www.inworg.com/my.php?down=48849&file=8a4bcea701

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

Kyon returns

2008-10-29T23:01:00.002+08:00

Hi, sorry wasnt there to see the dilah match so i dont know about how demoralized the team is. However, judging by the times I've played with you all, I do agree on some points Raven made. Losses are demoralizing I'm sure, and its harder still if its a one sided loss. Adi and Jon especially normally beat themselves up over it, but to be honest, I've never seen a game where you guys don't try your best, so there's no point beating yourself up about it if you tried your best. To err is human, to forgive is divine, so dont beat yourself up over it. Learn from the game and become better.

Viper is an awesome hero tbh, but he's mainly to gank hard. Without the correct supporting heroes, Viper falls behind really quickly, and he's better with single stun heroes to help chain slow a victim for the carry.

I actually think the ITB players are quite good. They showed excellent teamwork but a lack of experience doomed them. The fact that they didnt understand banning was kinda disappointing but I dont consider them an easy win. A one sided game is also a way to see how you execute teamwork in an ideal situation so all games are important imo.

In conclusion, I'd like to tell whoever is demoralized by the loss that you cant help being a new team. There are growing pains to become a great team, so pay your dues, den own them back once you're better. While Dota is a team game about control, its also a mind game with yourself. Losing the mind game will doom you before you actually lose. It would help if you absorb some of our resident happy-go-lucky, optimistic nub Inge-Selin's positive attitude to things. Oi, nub. Hope you're reading this. Team leaders should be saying this in writing instead of the disconnected advisor. :P

yesterday's match (the one we lost)

2008-10-29T13:59:00.006+08:00

I'm sorry, i can't post the replay's for both the matches at seria, the matches with ITB or the match agaisnt Dilah's team last night. I've misplaced my pendrive and didnt get to save the replay's down. But no worries, Inge-selin did save them and i will get the replays from him soon and post it.

now, i just want to explain a bit on what happen yesterday night. as the title suggested, we lost agaisnt dilah's team again last night and i felt that this lost was very important as i saw that it really demoralized the team members and created slight conflicts.

I personally was not in the mood to play well last night agaisnt them. Truth be told, i didnt care if we won or lost and here are some of the reasons why:-

1) before playing agaisnt them, we played agaisnt ITB team and though we won, the game was a very one sided one i felt like i was wasting my time. personally i dont like game where it feels like we're just bullying weak ppl (i think only inge-selin knows this and yes i'm weird). I openly critised inge-selin about this.

2) when we played with dilah's team, we once again didn't have our full team member

3) though our sub is quite a decent player, and i saw his improvements, i've already told inge-selin i don't like him character wise and he too agreed on this

4) i didn't get to play as mirana >_<

5) i don't like it when viper appears in our line up as i've already stressed that i felt like he was a useless hero. yes he can control lane, but he is useless in gang fights and once mid game comes, we will really start to lag behind because of him. and the hero he laned agaisnt, can just easily catch back up by farmin in neutrals or other lanes.

I've a lot more reason for why i wasn't in the mood to do well last night, but I bet if you read till this far, you should have noticed something by now.

THAT IS.... I'm being a bitch-ass whining and complaining about things like that. life is full of bad things like this happening, so there's no point in me complaining about it all the way and spoiling everyone's mood. Its better to just play my 100% in the game and hope for a win than to complain and bitch about it and guarantee a lose. next time i will win the game first and then complain and rock bottom inge-selin AFTER the game.

I would also like to apologize to inge-selin for critisizing him about finding the team before Dilah's team to play agaisnt us. If anything, he deserves thanks for trying to arrange for friendlies for us. besides he should not be expected to know how good/bad the opponent is.

I also noticed that Jon in particular was very upset about his performance last night. He looked so sad sitting at the stairs and getting half scolded by inge-selin. dont worry about it too much, mistakes are there for us to learn.

we make mistakes---> we get scolded---> we learn---> we improve---> we scold inge-selin back when we improved ^_^

that applies to you too gurkaman. don't feel too bad about last night's game. just remember our mistakes for the rest of our lifes!!!! hahaha, that's how everyone improves.

last of all, do you all know why when we wanna join lan games our names are " TFF.dota (our names)"?

notice that TFF comes before our name? That is exactly the reason why! always remember that TFF always comes before ourself! personal glories like death/kills are all meaningless, the most important thing is that, by the end of the game the words "victory" appears.

i promise to play my 100% in the future matches and prioritise winning the matches from now onwards. But like i say, i will complain and KILL the noob inge-selin after the game is won

thats all for now.

peace

RF match review

2008-10-26T20:12:00.003+08:00

Here is Shebby's view of the RF Match

Commentator: So what did you think of the match, Shebby?

Shebby: Well, to me, I think TFF should have done better in the second half than the first half. I mean, in the first half we see excellent communication between the players, intelligent decisions and overall domination of the half in terms of possession and attacking. But in the second half, they came out a bit sluggish, losing out on possession early and giving up a few easy goals. I think the RF team was a little too overconfident in the first half and give them credit for really locking down defensively in the second half.

Commentator: So what do you think went wrong in the second half, Shebby?

Shebby: Well, I think the first problem would be the formation. The right wing was playing on the left wing and vice versa, so creating problems when they play against the opposing teams. If the right wing had gone to the left wing, it would have been more evenly matched. Also, I dont feel that the players had the same level of confidence as they had in the first half. I felt that Luna was uncomfortable in his role, and the Puck's timing left a lot to be desired. The timing between players was abyssmal compared to the first half and the second half substitution didnt play his role effectively. He should have helped out a lot in the other parts of the field and provided more help defence.

Commentator: So what do you think TFF should take away from the match?

Shebby: I think TFF has enough talent to beat the RF team, however they must learn to adjust and play against their opponents instead of playing the style that they always play. I think TFF tried to do things a little differently and learnt that they still need a bit more training to play competitively. The players need to be more versatile and I think their veterans feel the same judging by the post match comments. They should look at the replay and do a bit more self reflection on how the match went and look at ways to improve in matching their opponent's intensity level. Welcome to the big leagues guys, hope you dont fall down before you even take the first step

Commentator: Thank you Shebby. Back to the studio for the match highlights.

Non-Shebby comments: Rushing BKB for Luna and Nevermore was a bit off, especially since Luna sacrificed staying power and forest farming by not going Helm. Inge-Selin should not play a sacrificial hero, he is more suited for carry roles or semi carry/ganker roles. Axe's synergy and foresting is really low compared to Centaur's so should try for lane + forest instead of all forest.

Match at RF (against dilah's team)

2008-10-25T13:21:00.008+08:00

1st game, won

http://www.inworg.com/my.php?down=48711&file=b8bd94eb0d

game summary:

The teamwork was good, the lane was controlled well. aside from bottom lane, but still it wasn't that bad. We really dominated this match.

i felt, we picked all the right heroes to counter them. Choosing terror blade was a particularly good choice. but it would have been impossible if inge-selin didnt play it so well. he was looked for in the forest a couple of times but he didnt die from any of them. well played! another unsung hero to mention is adi's aka gurkaman's treant. his warding and eyes really helped out the game well. John's centaur also did good in harrassing and stopping the naix from farming. He was the real threat in the game and he neutralized him well.

Silencer was poor but thats ok, since his lane was hard. his timing for silencing was good though. silencer was the perfect counter agaisnt their sand king and pudge's ulti.

all in all, well played by everyone.

ps. mirana should be played like this, learn from the replay inge selin!!! (mirana did good too hehehe)

2nd game, lost

http://www.inworg.com/my.php?down=48712&file=7a4fba8449

game summary:

well we lost quite heavily this match. and it was a bit annoying on the pride since the opponent's team was gloating so badly. still we learned something important in this match. I felt there was nothing much wrong with our hero picks, just bad laning choice. the game would have turned around if only LUNA + AXE went to bottom lane instead of top lane. then the puck and sand king combo would have been able to match with their lich and juggernaut combo.

if luna and axe took btm instead, axe would have dominated the 2 melee heroes and luna would have been free to farm till fat. its also our fault entirely for ignoring the top lane getting dominatted. we should have done something to change this, for example sending puck to top and luna to btm. luna was very important in the game as she is our primary dps hero. if she is poor, we confirm GG.

Raven, me, didnt use nevermore to its full potential also. and getting first blood by mirana is just plain careless. sorry guys, will try better next time.

also, sand king's stunning was poor in the game, but that can't be blamed much as the real gurkaman (adi) left for home after the first match since he has work tmr. so sand king was played by a temp sub. If gurkaman was with us, the game might have been better as once again i have to announce, i love the way gurkaman wards the map. His warding style would have provided us a better fighting chance and helped top's axe from being hunted so often.

Lets learn from this, next time we shouldnt ignore the farmer's lane being dominated. i apologize for not seeing this before hand and ignoring the crisis and chose to happily farm at mid.

thats all for now, peace...

Tutong Dota Review Part 2

2008-10-24T17:11:00.004+08:00

So bored, so I shall comment on the more interesting and arguably more balanced match of the 2 TFF played in Tutong against GS crew

Heroes

GSC (sentinel)- Puck, Zeus, SandK, Medusa, Enigma

TFF (scourge) - Nerubian Weaver, Dark Seer, Pandaren Brewmaster, Lina, Lion

I forgot which heroes were banned, excuse me.

Review

GSC was clearly disoriented by the Watcher/Ion Shield combo employed by TFF in the top Scourge lane. At the 15 min mark, they decided to ward the top lane, which pushed back the Puck's and later the Medusa's farming considerably. The Pandaren in mid was farming well against the Zeus, and decided to rice for a long time, taking brief breaks to gank top and bottom. Lion and Lina are gay, they ganked well (aside from the fb gank which almost failed) and did a good job on limiting the carries from farming.

Okay now the bad points. Kyon made the match harder that it should have been by forcing 3 "weird" heroes into the lineup, namely the Weaver, DS and Panda. Thus, there was little to no synergy between Lion-Lina with Weaver, DS or Panda. While Pandaren was farmed, he should not have gone for the tank build. Granted it was useful, but it forced the Weaver to become uber dps when its supposed to be a chaser/secondary dps. It also prolonged the game into late game due to Lion, Lina and DS's diminishing effectiveness. Radiance at 30 mins beats a Heart and Radiance at 50 mins, due to the level difference. A win is a win, but a carry shouldnt go for tank before damage in my honest opinion. Lion's necro was also a bit of an afterthought, an aghanim would have helped a little more or a bit more raw damage (orchid, mkb, deso).

Surprisingly, IngeSelin had a sacrificial role which meant this is a rare win when he sacrifices. Normally when he sacrifices, TFF loses. So woohoo for Inge Selin! *applause*

Heroes of the Tutong matches: Huskar, Panda, Zues, Lion-Lina
Nubs of the Tutong matches : Kyon (for sabotaging 2nd game), PoTM, CW (for being squishy)

That's all folks! Tune in next time for the next episode. Please note that all comments are meant to be constructive and not personal attacks. Inge Selin. Nub.

Upcoming Counter-Strike matches

2008-10-24T16:07:00.004+08:00

We have been recieving a fuc|< -load of requests ever since our first match in Netcom a few days ago, i am starting to wonder if we look licak or something.

I can't say the exact dates and times like our Dota counterparts since we have the amazing ability to cancel, postpone and delay any and every single match we've had so far.

...but for the sake of posting... here is the list of people that have challenged us since the last week or two:

Malik's team -the one who got scared off by kok and afie's gay advances (as a joke, sorry homos), he texted me while i was in tutong

Nemesis -they want a re-match in Netcom; apparently they weren't happy with the pcs at RF during our last match in which they insisted on playing for 6 maps

Grifter (i think thats the name, though i'm not sure) - this guy texted me asking for a match; he already booked the pcs for 3pm today, sadly we weren't available

Jimin's team -team members consisting of players who frequent the "ini macam" server (in this case i think felix was the one who challenged them)

A few teams who texted Felix should also be in here but since I can't get a hold of felix at the moment, that will have to wait.

until next time kids...

Tutong Dota Review

2008-10-24T15:24:00.002+08:00

Good morrow young padawans. Welcome to the first TFF Dota review where I will review the matches played. The opponent was GS crew, a long running nemesis in the TFF/UBD/CLT battle for Dota supremacy. As Jon said, 1.20d means we cannot show replays so you could not see the Mirana miss almost every stun, nor could you see the Panda deal almost no damage despite farming more than the other 4 combined. But I digress...

First match

TFF - PoTM, WD, Huskar, CW, Zeus

GSC- Razor, DK, Axe, SF, Lion

Banned - GSC -TP, NA, Lina,, Tinker
TFF - BM, Viper ,Necrolyte, QoP
Review:

The TINKER ban was unneccessary, as none of the players in TFF really plays Tinker that well and it does not match their Strategy of Late Game farming. This game was clearly in TFF's advantage. Zeus, Huskar, CW deal most of their damage early to mid game, while WD's Maledict cuts through DK and Razor BKB. Huskar and Zeus played especially well, Huskar farming a Heart and Mekansm by 35 mins while Zeus is Beyond Godlike. There were massacres occuring throughout the match, ending up in a 55 - 20 kill score. Teamwork and coordination was solid throughout, with a few minor slipups. GS was completely controlled on all 3 lanes due to lack of early gamers.

However, the CW was squishy, and should have rushed a Blink Dagger to help in mid game rather than Radiance for late game. He was quick but not quick enough. WD rushing BKB left him at a lack of mana throughout most battles and really should have chosen cheaper items to boost his mana and raise his effectiveness. The MAJOR gripe was the PoTM. While itembuild (deso, treads, 2 wraiths), last hitting and overall effectiveness was solid, he had a major problem with stunning with his arrow for teamfight purposes.
Aside from 2 stuns at the end game stage, the stuns aimed for ganking missed, limiting his ganking ability to Leap and Starfall. In my opinion, INGE SELIN should not use PoTM again. Nub

Second match review upcoming. This post may become too long. Apologies for wall of text

2 Friendlies at Tutong

2008-10-24T01:59:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone.

Just a simple post by me regarding on the DotA and CS friendlies with GS crews just now.

The DotA team won 2 matches (we didnt lose any ^^) and the 2nd game was a pretty annoying one (60+min game...). We couldnt upload the replays as their version is 1.20d. >.<

The CS team was unfortunate to get their lost but it was not a satisfying match either. They had pretty much of uncomfartable moments there. The lcd was wide screen and other probs which f**k up their gameplay. But anyway, shake up guys! You all could get their *ss next time in upcoming friendlies and BCG. Just like what Zani said, all of u people better start praying that they will faced TFF in BCG. lol. Hopefully, Alif saved the replays and see what went wrong. Chow guys. Im going to sleep.

Replays appreciated, Witch Doctor Post

2008-10-23T00:04:00.003+08:00

I would appreciate it if replays were hosted somewhere, so Inge-Selin, would you please upload it somewhere? I'd like to make commentary since I have no idea what else I can provide to the site.

Oh, I might pop in with weird Dota ideas that might work in a pub ( or even a serious) match. First off is the use of Witch Doctor (requested by anonymous person who happens to play CS and writes in a newspaper).

WD is a potentially devastating hero with weak lane control but high base damage. He synergizes well with most stun heroes as well as burst dps heroes. Most Tier 1 picks (SF, QoP, Mirana, DK, etc) would easily spank his bottom with his own death ward. Even a Tier 2 pick like an ES or a Zeus would give him a dick cramp by spamming their spells. He is easily stopped by stuns, and he farms poorly. So what is the use of this weak old guy?

Strange as it may seem, pairing him with a str hero like Treant or Huskar would be interesting and harsh to opponents. Treant and Huskar both have high survivability (armor, heal) with high damage capabilities. They both can protect the WD from death *with the exception that WD dies of old age*. Both have skills which synergizes with WD's Maledict. WD has the option of going forest and leave the heroes to solo and gain levels, or vice versa. Overgrowth Maledict DeathWard is pretty basic, but have you thought of Maledict, Huskar's ulti? Instant kill without Deathward. WD can also forgo a level of stun or stats to get the healing aura to help lane survivability. Aside from that, Centaur, Panda, Skel, DK, Sven, Sladar, any str hero can work incredibly with a WD. On a global metagame level, a good Maledict can mean the difference between winning and losing a gang fight. A BKBed WD can decimate most heroes if they're forced to stay and fight.

Why is WD never picked then? That is because Dota has become stagnant in recent months, using the top 20 heroes and leaving 70 to rot. I hope that more teams would stop using cookie cutter builds and start getting creative. Dota isnt meant to be a game where the team that picks the better lineup out of 20 heroes wins. 6.56 is a start in a fresh new direction. Let's hope Inge-Selin decides to use more WDs and other heroes in lineups. ^ ^

Hi all~~~

2008-10-22T13:04:00.008+08:00

Haha Kyon, why retire from dota? Its sad to see another legend dissapear from this world. hahahahaha. we need a fifth man, man.

well just wanna say hi to everyone, and congrats on winning all of our dota matches last night. once again i believe the place for improvement is still ADIB. He still needs more training and need to learn more on teamwork. Seriously, i feel like 4 vs 5 would be better :)

also a note of appreciation to Jon's sand king last night, he was the MVP in the 2nd match. Adi also played very well when he used puck last night (did i spell his name correctly?)

will try and see if i can load the replays of the matches that we played in the future into this blog. but no promises, don't know if i can actually do this.

thats all for now, peace...

Testing blog for Kyon. Kyon, TFF associate. NOT MEMBER. Do not include me in team matches, esp to JON and ADIB. Which reminds me, Adib, you nub dun say you can pawn people in Dota. I scared more people challenge TFF, then say UBD nub instead of TFF nub. THEN, I get pulled back to Dota. T__T let me retire in peace.

First Dota match as TFF is against ITB? First CS match as TFF has already been played IIRC.

Yesh!!!
