Grubby i don't usually comment on videos but this one brought a smile to my face. When i was a kid i started with WC3, and then after getting to high school switched to Dota (i am 24y old now btw). Love both of the games and i will definitely support this type of videos. Huge love from Serbia!
I also started playing WC3/FT as a kid and learned to play DOTA at high school. Never touched DOTA 2 or any other games similar to DOTA for personal reasons. It makes me happy that DOTA is getting the love it deserves. Thank you sir o7
There are so many people in the Dota scene who adore you. I would love to see a colab between you and Purge, Fear, Lacoste or the dozen others who watch your WC3 content. The player base can be super toxic but it can be super fun and rewarding getting into it. Thanks as always for all the content, Grubby + Dota is something I couldn't miss out on.
As a person who spent like 12 years playing Dota, I'm so surprised how good the general new player experience is, taking in consideration the crazy amount of knowledge in the game. And you are doing great!
Crazy amount of knowledge I have to agree... when I tried teaching my friends and cousins', they were overwhelmed. I've been playing DotA since I was like 9 (I'm 28 now lol). I know every item + hero, etc.
It is a massive learning curve to say the least. Just think about it, even playing through every hero once in the game requires like a hundred games. Also the heroes are much more distinct than they were in the old WC3 dota days, where a lot of heroes had skills that were carbon copies from WC3 heroes.
Oh yeah dota 2 is known for its lovable and non-toxic community all over the world. Everyone knows Dota 2 has the most communicative and well-behaved players of any game. Now read what i just typed in the opposite.
lol this is awesome, Grubby....so cool to see you do something like this. I used to be a competitive dota 1 player..and played dota 2 for years...brought joy to my heart to see you giving it a try. A wonderful....complex...frustrating....life-engulfing game haha
This year's Dota International will be held in Singapore Suntec, where I met you in person back in WCG 2005. How time flies! Been a wc3 and dota player since forever and I'm glad to see you enjoying both games!
This brings me tears. I started playing Dota around 2005/2006, and before that, I had been watching and learning from tons of your replays as an Orc player. It feels ... nostalgically binding.
When Grubby was looking at the mid river creeping and said "This little hill really dissuades you from playing aggressive if you're unsure". There people in MY games that still don't think that way and I have been playing this game since beta. Hope he enjoys his time in DotA
Really fascinating to watch - similar to you, I only tried Dota 2 after playing HotS for years starting in beta. I've played both games about equally at this point and I like how they each offer something unique in the MOBA genre. I enjoy the fast-paced teamfight focus of HotS with some really creative heroes like Abathur and Cho'Gall, while the strategic mechanics in DotA can get pretty crazy when used their full potential (especially in pro play). Looking forward to see you dip your toes in more!
@@darkdemon1676 He did briefly check it out, the first one is super boring and "NEWBIE" though, so he got bored and moved on. I don't think he saw the extra tabs of tutorials where the more useful ones are (like on creep pulling/stacking and item disassembly).

Grubby , More Of This Please. Its So Fascinating To See WC3/SC2 Pro Play Dota 2. Your approach to Dota 2 of the game is just different than other people i have ever seen. You have earned a sub.
As someone who played WC3 back in the day only for the campaign and DOTA1 and much later learned to play actual WC3 with your videos, I'm glad to see you are doing the reverse and giving this great game a real try.
Bro, I can't wait to see you play invoker or meepo. I'm noob when it comes to WC, but I can say I'm pretty decent at DotA 2 (immortal rank), when I watch your gameplay of WC for years (fan of your since your championship) I always thinking 'Yow this guy so good at micro, he will be absolute beast when comes to dota' and I hope for long time to see you play dota, then the video came, wow !!!
Watched the full vod, that's awesome :) I especially liked the part where you went through all heroes guessing which one based on what character from WC3
As a Dota player with 6k hours, I love to see you playing it! Your analysis of basic mechanics is already so insightful, it's nothing like most beginners, because you have so much experience from other games. I love your content and watched a bit of you playing HOTS, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. So glad that you're finally trying this out!
Im really excited for you to do this! it´s a fun game and if you´re able to get into it, it feels more rewarding (but also more demanding) than HotS. At least imo. BUT: look into some guides/vids of basics or, since you´re a famous content creator yourself, reach out to some of the scene. I can recommend Purge, he does "train" fairly often. Also he´s a chill guy. Anyway, getting help for/looking into the basics saves you alot of time AND NERVES (also for your team :P).
Long time Dota player here just wanting to say that it's great seeing you branching out into other games. Your analytic approach with those games shows your love for video gaming on a high level. I hope to see more Dota games of you. Maybe a collab with a Dota pro would be nice?
I am so glad you are trying Dota. Your WC3 plays were legendary. I had some of your replays for the longest time. Unfortunately I lost them through multiple hard drives.
Lol the "free to play and have all the hereos" with a sigh made my day. Dota 2 is fun. Used to play dota on wc3 when i was younger. Played LOL then dota 2. Now just content watching you play wc3(and dont mind this occasionally) thanks for what u do
Grubby I'm so happy to see you try Dota2! Been following you since 4K days but at some point I lost interest to wc3, feels so great to be back to your channel.
You could reach far heights in dota 2 and I look forward to seeing your progression (if you enjoy playing it enough to continue). Many thanks and much respect, sir.
Truth to be told .. I always watch ure vids to learn how to block, juke, tree fog, and control multiple heroes... Ure freaking good at controls man and im applying it on my game.
Dude, i play dota for a long time, but watching someone who is smart, but still get extremely overwhelmed by who much basic knowledge you need. Hope you have fun, it's always good to have new players!
Played HotS (catching up with a buddy that I use to play with back in the day) yesterday for the first time in years. Man that game is dead. But it reminded me of Grubby and some good times. Sad how bad Blizzard has become.
This is super interesting to see, a wc3 master coming to dota! With your micro skills i bet you will do awesome things especially with heroes like chen or meepo. Also I can see the difference in buying items between wc3 and dota. Hoping that you go full time on dota and after a while you get used to it you start to play on ranked, that is where the real "fun" begins. This is awesome!
Yes!! Welcome to Dota Grubby (If you ever try it again ^^) PS you can do a full surround with 3 units in this game (Its super hard tho) but other than that many mechanics are very similar to w3c also the deny ! that is used in w3c has been in dota one for 15 years
It's hard to surround in Dota because often the 4-5 units you want to surround with are being controlled by multiple people... However body blocking is very powerful and useful so that's definitely right in Grubby's wheelhouse.
I remember in older patch of Dota, Lich still have Frost Armor and Dark Ritual as 2nd and 3rd skill.. The dark ritual is removed because its considered too OP cause you can deny one unit from your creep wave instantly. (which is very important because in dota, lane creep is your main economy and also its disrupt lane equilibrium). and the frost armor is only remain on ogre magi jungle creep now. Good old days.. Please keep playing Dota, Grubby, the more you dig in it the more you will find many simillarities between the OG WC3 and Dota. 😁
Dota 2 is a really fun game cuz you can do more things than in warcraft and the settings that makes its more user friendly, nice job for exploring the game you can be a great dota player
Damn I miss watching your WC3 game,last I watch you 4 years ago after my phone got stolen and I forgotten about you. Suddenly TH-cam recommendation brought me here. Fffffff miss everything about you bro!
Oh boy Dota 2 was what I started playing to fill that void of no Warcraft 4. They even did so e really cool coop campaigns like Siltbreaker. Not sure if it exists in the custom game scene but besides hats Dota 2 is a great game functionally and feels just like warcraft
r/dota2 brought me here, never was interested in wc3, but a big dota2 fan. Subscribed and looking forward to more dota content, your balanced lines of thought are breath of fresh air, good luck!
Nothing wrong with playing DOTA. Happy became the #1 WC3 player in the World by playing DOTA with his heroes every game. Good practice for WC3. Just make sure that when you switch to WC3, you pick Undead as your race because the skill is really not transferable to the other 3 races.
@@bundestagkola8691 I was making a criticims of how the Undead race in WC3 is imbalanced because you can win with only heroes like in DOTA. But I guess you need to a minimum of intelligence to figure that out.
Things humanity waited a long time for: Starcraft II, Exclusive Playstation games coming to Pc, and Grubby trying Dota for the first time. The HYPE is real
When dota was getting big in 2004/2005+ it created a huge division in the warcraft 3 community. Many of the serious ladder players (ie normal game mode) thought dota was for newbs that couldn't hack it in proper matches. And then all the other custom map players that liked enfos/footy/TD etc hated dota because it quickly became 95% of custom maps people were playing. Basically by 2005 there were 3 distinct types of people who played warcraft 3 - ladder players, custom map players, and dota players. It was quite normal for each type not to ever play another type. And within a few years dota grew so much it was probably 95% of people that played warcraft 3, and then eventually they split off into playing private servers and only the newbs still played on bnet. Anyway my point is... I'm not surprised if hardcore ladder players like Grubby (and probably Lyn, ToD, Madfrog, Sky etc) never got into dota.
@@ajcl_gaming7061 good point most people knew what they liked and stayed in their lane. Dota ruled the cg list and had sooo many versions and spin offs. I mostly played an obscure version called danites hell. All skills were fully randomized each game. Made for chaos!
@@Rick-zw9kp Yeah there were tons of weird ones originally. I liked this version where when you killed creeps in your jungle they respawned in your own wave. So it was a race to jungle the fastest to overwhelm the enemies lane.
@@ajcl_gaming7061 as a custom map, you couldn't edit it with map editor .. needed an unlock, and custom map editor addon to even open it .. had custom spells / "triggers" (scripts) not available in regular map editor .. i played around with editor quite a bit -- this was quite the operation, not ordinary custom game made by an individual hobbyist
Hello Grubby. Seeing you give DotA a try really brought a smile to my face. Happy to see you giving it a shot. I'm sure that, as a WC3 pro that you are, you will be very good at the game. Just give it some time and practice and I'm confident you'll start owning everyone in no time. :D I have 10k hours in the game and can help if you have any questions about the game. If you need any help with it, let me know. But please, play it more. :D I am super happy you even gave it a try. IMO, you'll love it more than HotS.
Hi Grubby, DOTA has an extremely steep learning curve for brand new players (requiring atleast 1000 hours of gameplay just to get past the skill floor). But due to your competitive background of these kind of games, you have a very good mechanical grasp of DOTA already (denying, last hitting, etc) I am certain you will get around to playing ranked much faster than usual beginners. There is a great DOTA personality called Purge you could potentially partner with in your learning journey and possibly create bridges into the professional scene (commentary, analysis, etc)
You catch things so fast, would love to see you learn Dota and play from time to time, I feel you would learn it and be in above average end of mmr pretty fast, it would be def be interesting to follow your journey if you decide to try it on.
Oh man, i was reading the dota reddit and suddenly the name grubby popped up, and my mind instantly said 4k.Grubby. you used to be my hero when i was 13 and played warcraft, I am now 35 and here you are. I've never actually seen you until now, just your profile and downloaded replays
Nice first game. I used to play a lot of DotA (both 1 and 2), but stopped 5-6 years ago. If I may suggest it, perhaps contact Purge (who is the creator of a famous beginner's guide to dota 2) for a collab on twitch/youtube. He did something similar with a starcraft player a couple years ago and he's a patient and knowledgeable teacher. Looking forward more!
Love to Serbian people, I've played league most of my life so the majority of people on my server were from Poland, Slovakia, Czech etc. But still those who I meet were the best lads out there
There's so much info and things to know that if I haven't played Dota for so long , i would never start now . It's just so much detail in the game that it's.....very tough to learn everything from scratch
Maybe useless thing to point out but at 1:34 Grubby swipes his hand and claims about a hundred heroes are present. My brain cannot make that estimate. This is very interesting to realize that some brains have that capacity. Now thinking about it, I always found it so impressive how grubby goes into skirmishes during matches and the numbers of units on his side versus the opponent don't make sense to me, and he is able to measure that the numbers make sense to engage the skirmish. Still developing these thoughts, one very hard thing to me in war3 is balancing my team size, seeing what I have and what is missing in my units. I literally have to count each unit to remember "ah I lost some shaman and I have my mental plan that I must keep 3 with me, so I need to make more". I'm pointing these things out in case you don't realize these might be specific to your brain and to your training. Like I said, maybe useless to point out, still interesting to me to realize this is an actual capability I didn't realize existed.
Grubby i don't usually comment on videos but this one brought a smile to my face. When i was a kid i started with WC3, and then after getting to high school switched to Dota (i am 24y old now btw). Love both of the games and i will definitely support this type of videos. Huge love from Serbia!

Same here but instead of getting to high school I just got too high and ended up playing Dota 1 for about a decade.

@@ajcl_gaming7061 as a custom map, you couldn't edit it with map editor .. needed an unlock, and custom map editor addon to even open it .. had custom spells / "triggers" (scripts) not available in regular map editor .. i played around with editor quite a bit -- this was quite the operation, not ordinary custom game made by an individual hobbyist
Hello Grubby. Seeing you give DotA a try really brought a smile to my face. Happy to see you giving it a shot. I'm sure that, as a WC3 pro that you are, you will be very good at the game. Just give it some time and practice and I'm confident you'll start owning everyone in no time. :D I have 10k hours in the game and can help if you have any questions about the game. If you need any help with it, let me know.
But please, play it more. :D I am super happy you even gave it a try. IMO, you'll love it more than HotS.
We need a vid/stream where Grubby do a dramatic reading of all heroes lores and abilities' lores XD
Would love to see more Dota content from you Grubby 👍
Hi Grubby, DOTA has an extremely steep learning curve for brand new players (requiring atleast 1000 hours of gameplay just to get past the skill floor).
But due to your competitive background of these kind of games, you have a very good mechanical grasp of DOTA already (denying, last hitting, etc)
I am certain you will get around to playing ranked much faster than usual beginners. There is a great DOTA personality called Purge you could potentially partner with in your learning journey and possibly create bridges into the professional scene (commentary, analysis, etc)
You catch things so fast, would love to see you learn Dota and play from time to time, I feel you would learn it and be in above average end of mmr pretty fast, it would be def be interesting to follow your journey if you decide to try it on.
Now look at you, an Immortal. Truly the Gamer of all time
Oh man, i was reading the dota reddit and suddenly the name grubby popped up, and my mind instantly said 4k.Grubby. you used to be my hero when i was 13 and played warcraft, I am now 35 and here you are. I've never actually seen you until now, just your profile and downloaded replays
You can also use the setting Select Hero button to follow hero something like that. That way you only need to click space ones, hold if you wanna
I just realized, u are actually pretty familiar with a lot of heroes here! amazing
its rare to see 1st timers play dota at this point in time... im glad youre actually enjoying it... have fun
Nice first game. I used to play a lot of DotA (both 1 and 2), but stopped 5-6 years ago. If I may suggest it, perhaps contact Purge (who is the creator of a famous beginner's guide to dota 2) for a collab on twitch/youtube. He did something similar with a starcraft player a couple years ago and he's a patient and knowledgeable teacher.
Looking forward more!
Love to Serbian people, I've played league most of my life so the majority of people on my server were from Poland, Slovakia, Czech etc. But still those who I meet were the best lads out there
There's so much info and things to know that if I haven't played Dota for so long , i would never start now . It's just so much detail in the game that it's.....very tough to learn everything from scratch
They will be next TI winner :D , btw you put me a smile to my face grub
Oh awesome. Hope you continue playing, it can be fun even when you're jsut starting out. A lot of it should seem similar to WC3 still.
Maybe useless thing to point out but at 1:34 Grubby swipes his hand and claims about a hundred heroes are present. My brain cannot make that estimate. This is very interesting to realize that some brains have that capacity. Now thinking about it, I always found it so impressive how grubby goes into skirmishes during matches and the numbers of units on his side versus the opponent don't make sense to me, and he is able to measure that the numbers make sense to engage the skirmish. Still developing these thoughts, one very hard thing to me in war3 is balancing my team size, seeing what I have and what is missing in my units. I literally have to count each unit to remember "ah I lost some shaman and I have my mental plan that I must keep 3 with me, so I need to make more". I'm pointing these things out in case you don't realize these might be specific to your brain and to your training. Like I said, maybe useless to point out, still interesting to me to realize this is an actual capability I didn't realize existed.
we have been telling you to play it!. you had to be the last blizzard honor holdout, probably because you are so nice.
