Back in Dota 1 the Strength, Int and Agi heroes were separated by dire and radiant but also by their main stat boosts. So what they did was pick dire strength and only ban from that tavern they chose then be forced to pick from that same one. If they end up being out of heroes because of someone catching on they have to random. It's pretty fun to watch and listen to when they draft
His stream is set to a delay, and it's possible to have it showing on one of your monitors if you have two (with you playing that same game in realtime on the main monitor). Essentially, it's useful in terms of not present events (such as knowing if they started roshing as you can't finish that by the time the delay kicks in) that still gain you a BIG advantage. Essentially, it also gives insight into what Purge is verbally strategizing, allowing you to tell your own team and cheat.
the bindings are that way because WC3 (and plenty of RTS) had many units with abilities. if every unit had an ability on Q, they would need to be selected separately. having different hotkeys allowed one large control group to use the hotkeys for several units' worth of abilities. using legacy keys is something you do to look cool and say "I played dota 1!" unless your hands have them memorized, QWER (or any keys in a line) will always be easier to use, without argument.
he actually knows that. in one of his vids, where he plays Tide he talk about it himself. The thing is that at the beginning of the game stout is more effective in reflecting damage, than kraken shell, and as u could see he didn't put too many points in this ability, focusing on anchor smash mostly.
He's explained why he doesn't do this already. For one it takes a lot longer to upload and edit in 1080. And frankly 720 is fine. He wants to be able to provide consistent content. People who complain about the difference of 1080 and 720 plainly just need to stop complaining about everything in their lives ever. Some people can't even watch videos in 1080 so what's the point?
When Riki is close to getting level 6, have someone buy sentry wards and place them on his lane to keep him visible. For fighting him, use either dust of appearance or, in the late game, a gem of true sight (be careful, this item drops on death). Always assume Riki is nearby when you're going somewhere and don't go alone. Heroes that do well against a Riki are Slardar and Bounty Hunter for their low mana cost ultimate that reveals Riki. Silence breaks Riki's invis for its duration as well.
this game makes the dire strength tavern look more like a college bar filled with frat boys. "c'mon dude lets go heal up off some creeps, look at how much we're life stealing guys, fuck yeah!" then they would all do shots, maybe some -pong
In Options > Controls there's a box that says "Legacy" on the right hand side. This switches the standard QWERTY to different hotkeys. Try it out, it's kind of awesome. Can't explain the advantages of it really but somehow I like it better than the standard QWERTY.
They don't stack although they do work. Kraken kicks in if the shield doesn't proc. The reason people take an early point of kraken when they have the shield is for the debuff to remove stuns and slows etc rather than the damage block.
Blitz is a pro player, yeah. He's one of purge's irl friends, and it's debatable as to whether he's the best storm spirit player in the world, to give you an idea.
You'll learn how to deal with him the more you play. Just buy sentry wards and dust of appearance frequently. If you want to hard counter riki choose heroes like Bounty Hunter or Slardar, whose ults can give true sight of invisible enemies.
Lord of the Rings- Dragon Knight (Aragorn), Keeper (Gandalf), Windrunner (Legolas), Axe (Gimli, putting weapon over dwarf status), and Lifestealer (Gollum)
It's not Skywrath, it's VENGEFUL SPIRIT. Skywrath MAGE is a yet unreleased hero who has the most powerful single-target nuke in the game and a Silencer-like orb effect.
He's not a professional player yet, he's just good. And best Storm spirit in the world? Hahaha I love Purge and his merry band of DOTA players, they're obviously skilled, but let's see them stack against some Chinese teams or even Na'Vi. It's ok to enjoy people's content, but don't cross the blind fanboy line. But anyway, love this Tavern pick series guys, more!
Fuck stream snipers. The fact that you guys caught up again made this video even better. I actually lol'd at the rosh start. And solo'ing QoP was sexy as hell.
I'd love if they implemented the OMG mode, where each player is given a random hero with a random set of skills (not depending on a hero). I don't think it was in Dota1, just a mod made by someone else.
Worst Delta Split ever.
I love how the voices kinda fit the characters while they walk all along together through the woods like some happy dire friends going for a hike.
it's incredibly fun and interesting watching you guys play these rediculous strategies - and pull them off!
I could not stop laughing.
More please Purge, this was genius.

Purge after his solo kill on QoP:
"Hmmm... mhmmm.." *small smile creeps onto face*
Love it! :D
This was so fun to watch , i laughed the entire video . Please do more games with these guys :D
More of these please! Great video!
Draskyl makes this game, the 'old married couple' thing he and blitz have going is classic.
I love when he plays with Blitz and Godz theyre funny as hell
I only half read the title & thought purge was playing Crystal Maiden.
This was just . . . so much more :P

this is my fav purge video - should do MORE THEME GAMES!
woke up to this gem, please cast more tavern games!

The delta split cracked me up.
this was awsome!! hope you guys do something similar again!
wow, this was some hilarious shit. So much win. Also thanks for the AMA!
that solo kill on quop was really nice purge, good job
Venomancer, Brood, Sand King, Nyx, Weaver.
ULTIMATE BUG TEAM GO!

holy shit that solo qop kill at 20:10 was soooo cool :D that qop would be so damn embarrassed

AAHAAHHAA!! Probably one of the funniest games you've uploaded so far :)
this game makes the dire strength tavern look more like a college bar filled with frat boys. "c'mon dude lets go heal up off some creeps, look at how much we're life stealing guys, fuck yeah!" then they would all do shots, maybe some -pong
you. guys. are. AWESOME.
Oh lord, those tanky tanky low int monsters just ate that nyx
that timing ravage to kill QoP is so good
funniest roshan ever
"what do we do?"
omg I'm already crying from laughter in under two minutes.
This game made me laugh so hard. All the amazing plays with not awesome comps :D
The "delta split" was called. P Flax would be proud
My heart ached when EGM made the Sing reference with 'Yeah buddy..'
This is so good! Is this going to be a future series? ;)
"Hm, Hmmmm, that felt good" - purge killing qop
Do more of these :D!!
Love it x)!
My god I'm laughing so hard and the game hasn't even started!
I was dying laughing when they were like "KILL THE MISSILE!"

This match is what dreams are made of.

dat starting conversation....best vid ever :D
i watched this twice this is so funny
this was really awesome, please do it for every tavern !! :D:D
best game you played EVER
"Raidant INT has legit heroes" -Blitz
... You just want to play Storm Spirit, Blitz. Don't hide it
Draskyl was funny :D blitz :" I'm life stealer "
very enjoyable to watch!! you should do more "tavern" games (if you dont already)
I DIED from laughter xD at the 8 minute mark
This needs to happen again!
you should do more of this purge
"10/10, would bang" - Draskyl
Captains Mode Mode, gj Purge.

Hit matchmaking while watching, picked up skele in a random. Here comes support skele!
RIP in peace CM mode
This.was.brilliant.
These guys are now ready to win TI3
Your banter is hilarious :D
I was referring to the title. It says Dire Strength CM mode. CM as in Captain's Mode and then it says mode again.
Really fun game, more plz. Maybe next one won't be so stompy though!
pretty cool idea, i love it.
Always remember the Delta Split when in dangerous situations
You can tell he likes a kill or something hes done as of his approving HMMM, HMMM. like a cats purrr
This is the first comment ive seen that ive actually wanted to like in a long time
You'll learn how to deal with him the more you play. Just buy sentry wards and dust of appearance frequently. If you want to hard counter riki choose heroes like Bounty Hunter or Slardar, whose ults can give true sight of invisible enemies.
that was cool :D more like this please
dat solo kill on the free farming qop hahaha
that's how I always wanted to play Dota
Lord of the Rings- Dragon Knight (Aragorn), Keeper (Gandalf), Windrunner (Legolas), Axe (Gimli, putting weapon over dwarf status), and Lifestealer (Gollum)
Blitz farted in the doritos, do not eat the doritos.
on armor reduction, you could add bounty hunter and tidehunter, who both have armor reductin abilities
It's not Skywrath, it's VENGEFUL SPIRIT. Skywrath MAGE is a yet unreleased hero who has the most powerful single-target nuke in the game and a Silencer-like orb effect.
" Oh shit "
" Fuck "
" What do we do ? "
07:39
So awesome should do this for every tavern.
PFlax has taught you well young one
He's not a professional player yet, he's just good.
And best Storm spirit in the world? Hahaha
I love Purge and his merry band of DOTA players, they're obviously skilled, but let's see them stack against some Chinese teams or even Na'Vi.
It's ok to enjoy people's content, but don't cross the blind fanboy line.
But anyway, love this Tavern pick series guys, more!
there's a lot of room for fun theme-teams and rivalry match-ups in this game.i get a little fixated on it sometimes and wish it were a pick mode
The Undead: Naix, Pudge, Skeleton King, Clinks, Undying or Visage vs Outworlder: Void, Puck, OD, Spectere, Bane
Fuck stream snipers. The fact that you guys caught up again made this video even better. I actually lol'd at the rosh start. And solo'ing QoP was sexy as hell.
*crawls into body then crawls out* Love youuu
You need to do this with Radiant/Dire Agility/Int as well, it's hillarious xD
OH GOD THAT LEVEL 1 ROSH LOLOLOL
Dat solo QoP kill tasted like Win!
This is awesome
That was awesome !!
Oh I would LOVE to see DIRE AGI
Draskyl: " and your the biggest lady I've ever seen "
They also did Radiant strength, and Dire agility after that game.
That was the "normal mode" in the original Dota. But everybody played all pick, so it wasn't brought back in Dota 2.
the mode is called "CM" and he informs that it is the mode they play.
I'd love if they implemented the OMG mode, where each player is given a random hero with a random set of skills (not depending on a hero). I don't think it was in Dota1, just a mod made by someone else.
I really thought that he was gonna go Crystal Maiden strength build from the title XD
