  17. Same goes for full-physical against underlord.

  37. Riki is the best hero. He's invisible from lvl 1, y'know.
  38. Dendi wins every TI.

  40. Every game has an account boosting smurf.
  41. It's a meepo smurf.
  42. Dota turbo - reports are now 2x faster.

  49. 啊,队友呢?队友呢?队友呢?!队友呢?!?!
  50. Lakad Matataaag! Normalin, Normalin.
Under construction. I'll finish it before TI ends. I swear on the mum.

Don't use stuns, when you have to stand in one place and not move, it slows the game a lot
