So yesterday we had this DotA competition at TBun, first time entering such a tourney, and we were up against a well prepared and more experienced team I must say. Although we had good basics, but we had some problems about when to wrap up the game or stay put and defend several waves of riposte attacks.

Straight to the point, we were drafted to be The Sentinel. Line-up for heroes are as below.




The Sentinel


Beastmaster - JL




Sand King - Theng




Tormented Soul - CK




Silencer - TL




Viper - Mua






The Scourge


Centaur Warchief




Nerubian Assassin




Priestess of the Moon




Zeus




Twin Head Dragon




Indubitably, lane control is important in DotA, and I guess we had the upper hand at the early stages. Sum up of the game.


<20minutes - Sentinel controlled, although conceding First Blood via Sand King. Silencer and Viper had roughly 5k by now.

<60minutes - Scourge was then getting towers down, and then controlling the map via wards supplied by Jakiro.

90minutes - Scourge failed an attempt at breaking down middle, thus, Sentinel focused and broke mid lane but failed to finish up top lane due to Centaur's brave defending.

<120minutes - Scourge was controlling all 3lanes by now, despite Sentinel's middle creeps seemingly stronger, thus resulting in an overwhelming win at the end for them.


No replays however, due to match being played at the cyber cafe. Pfft.
