Top Introduction Hey everyone!



I’m DEFYED but my parents named me Blake. I run a small YouTube channel with currently a little over 2000 subscribers which is currently dedicated to creating DotA 2 content including guides as well as some other random funny videos.



I started playing DotA in the Warcraft 3 days before transitioning to HoN when that came out and then DotA 2 when that was released shortly after.

Alright so you’ve made it to 45-50 minutes plus and nearing level 25-30. Unfortunately, if you’re not far ahead of the enemy carries and especially if they’re a super hard carry, it might be a bit more difficult for you now.

Try to finish the game before this if you can! If not, make sure you are with your team and try to gank the enemy to swing fights in your favour before taking full fights.
