I apologize for the momentary takeover of your internets, but I fear that I must interrupt your normal routine of ****posting, ranting about your mmr, endlessly bumping your recruiting threads that no one looks at and whatever you use dotofire for to show you what I have been up to recently.

As you all know, the Gamer Grill is an evasive being, to a point that most consider the "Gamer Grill" to be a myth (though there have been sightings of grills such as "SingSing" "Zai" and our very own ChiChi, the OGG or "Original Gamer Grill"). I, however, have been working on a little pet project in between class and other things to educate the normies about them : the making of Dotafire's own mascot and/or waifu, Dotafire-Tan.


Granted, I have merely completed this character sheet which I drew up in my character drawing class, but I wanted to, before getting too far on this, share this idea with dotofire and how I got around to making this thing.

It all started during one fateful expedition to…

First South American Team to qualify for a Valve-Organized event



SEA has Pinoys, EU has Russians, don't exactly know what the Chinese have to put up with (probably having to play on Perfect World), but like their Asian and European counterparts, North Americans have had their own scourge to deal with. An unstoppable force of feeding and high ping, known only as the Peruvians.

To some, the Peruvians are merely an annoyance, a factor that can be overcome by proper play and excessive reporting. But to those who've followed the signs, they know that the Peruvians are learning, adapting, and most terrifying of all, evolving. It all started at the Summit 2, when the Peruvian squad Not Today qualified for the event under the leadership of SmAsH. They may have been the first team eliminated, but that…

That title was but a lame *** attempt at a play-on words, because this blog post is the third installment in my right-click build will focus on the best hard carry everybody's been playing wrong:





Well guess what hamster- you can't get solo killed by a Crystal Maiden if you ARE the Crystal Maiden (it makes too much sense guys).

Anywho, let's gets down to the nitty gritty on why I chose to pick Crystal Maiden:

-Gamer Grills: ChiChi wanted to see this build happen and I'd be remiss if I didn't listen to Doto playin Grill, Grills like it when dudes listen... I think, I dunno.

-Farming Speed: The combo of Frostbite and Crystal Nova allows CM to farm at a respectable pace and as a result, you can get most of your items up relatively fast. Throw in a casual Hand of Midas if you feel like playing farming simulator.

-Strong, independent Carry Maiden don't ne…

The time has arrived for another right-click build on a non-right click hero. This time I will be doing Sando's favorite hero:




Yes, it is high time someone was dumb enough to attempt to make Techies into a right click hero and that someone is me. Now for a quick overview of why I chose to do a right-click Techies.

-Attack range: Techies boast the highest base attack range in the game, meaning that with proper items, they can kite and juke enemies with impunity. Furthermore, suicide squad, attack! means that when someone manages to close that gap on you, (i.e. Chaos Knight, Slark, every other mobility hero) you can blow yourself up, denying them the huge sack of cash that one would receive from ending your GODLIKE killing spree.

-Stat Gains: Techies actually have a pretty solid stat gains for an intelligence hero, with a slightly above average strength gain of 2 and nice int gain of 2.9. The sole problem is that Techies have a dismal agility gain of 1.3, meaning that 6-slot…
