Hi guys, i recently stumbled across this article, im not sure if many of you have seen it. Basically it was a really good read and even if you don't play dota, many of the additional sections are fantastic in application to starcraft and also to general life. If you have some spare time i'd definitely recommend having a look at it.

I think a lot of people on pubs take chapter 4 very seriously, for being complete noobs, who feed, cant last hit and dont deny (even towers at like 50 hp), they're extremely bitchy about who you need to pick, and what lane you need to go to.
