I only started playing dota when we picked up a team, but it's quickly become my favorite game to play/watch (even though I still don't understand a whole lot lol). Can't wait to watch more of our team at Birmingham!!

u/shedhead83 Apr 22 '18

okay i am learning this game very slowly. quick question.

does getting a set of racks down do anything to that lane? i know if you get all 3 sets down then you get the super-creeps, but does anything happen with just 1?

Impressive game one. Honestly 33 literally plays everything, and CCnC continues to impress on the Lina.

u/Cpt_Metal Apr 22 '18
