Transcripts
hello guys it's your boy Peter and today
I thought I'd do a bit of a a bit of a
piece video on slark Dao slark in
particular because honestly this guy
doesn't get enough respect sometimes
people are like oh he overextends he's
always feeding blah blah blah blah blah
the thing is what Dao does for this team
is very important he initiates a lot of
the time he sets up the plays now to be
honest that's what slark does right so
it of course depends it depends on your
hero it depends on his hero but I want
to give this guy a lot of credit this
game his initiations his decision-
making most of his decision- making was
insanely good it helped his team get
their spells off in a very effective way
because if you notice gaming Gladiator
draft we have an enigma a Magnus a
wyvern even Pango Rolling Thunder these
are spells that don't really want to go
in first and he really fulfilled that
role this game as slark and I really
think that's the main reason they were
able to destroy team spirit in this
match so without further Ado I'd like to
cover the main parts of this match game
two between team spirit and game of
Gladiators and why Dao is such an
important part of this team all right
before we get into the main part of the
video I do want to let you guys know
that I'm not only posting videos here on
YouTube I also frequently post videos on
the website if you don't know what I'm
talking about almost every single day
I'm posting a new video to the game leag
website where I'm going to teach you
guys in depth about how to get to the
next level so if you want to become
absolutely broken click the link down
below and sign up okay the first thing
I'd like to say is I think team spirit's
draft was trash I feel like kka is a
good slark counter in the game but I
think the main way to beat slark is to
give this hero a bad start take his
Tower and not let him Farm comfortably
in his Lane but doru got to do exactly
that because Enigma out trades Shaman
and kka is terrible early on so even
though they ended up killing celery here
they chase him across the entire map and
slark gets the Free Farm which is like
not good slark is a hero that should not
free Farm early on it's not that strong
in the early levels it has terrible
armor terrible stats terrible everything
but Dao is able to free farm and so he
gets off to a good start this game also
something I'd like to mention is he's
very good about seeing a aggression this
guy his strength is aggression like for
me I'm more of an ace type of player now
you can be like speed you're nothing
like Ace I didn't ask okay Daio what
he's really good at is he's able to see
opportunities of aggression okay that is
what he's really strong at and so you'll
notice in this clip here as the Enigma
teps in Shaman walks up and a lot of
people they wouldn't really see much of
this they' be like oh it's this a shaman
he's close to full HP but the Rio sees
this as a go celer didn't see it either
right this guy's walking into his career
he doesn't see this immediately I mean
to be fair he's focused on his career
but D makes a good go and with the malif
and a blood grenade it actually results
in a kill pretty impressive right
because I don't know I just feel like
most people as simple as that was
wouldn't have seen it or they would
overextend in a lane that's really bad
right this is a good Lane and so it
makes sense for him to go in there now I
will say of course just to give him a
little bit of criticism plays like this
are a bit insane a couple things to note
that I think he should change is he
should have clarities much much earlier
slar is a hero that will inevitably have
Mana problems it's part of the reason
Mage Slayer has become the more popular
first item on slark at least in the Pro
scene over diffusal blade reason being
is it keeps you alive and it gives you m
region because you can buy sag's mask
but I think if he had the sages mask
earlier and clarities that the
aggression on on deuka here would make a
bit more sense but this aggressive
pounce in while it is some damage on
Akuna gets him killed right it's a great
TP in from yoro he probably doesn't
expect yor to make such a great TP here
but still it ends up killing him he
couldn't use ulti and he dies I will say
after this I think his decision- making
is really good so what he does is he
pulls the lane this is going to allow
you to get the lane back and Farm Lane
creeps slark is a hero that really likes
Lane creeps now when you're level seven
you can kill neutrals pretty effectively
and so it is an option to hit these
camps that is what he does but basically
first things first you pull this Camp it
allows you to form the lane Creeps in a
safe position especially against a hero
like GAA where X counters you because
you can't dispel the a right so you can
get tped on and set up on so he gets the
lane back he sees that the enemy team
goes mid and so he makes it decision to
push the lane really aggressively in
fact he drags the wave around meaning
that these creeps will then go under
Tower and it won't let the enemy team
Farm the wave so he's able to take this
wave all the way around and this is
actually efficient he brings it under
Tower the tower helps him kill it
quickly then he Farms this Camp he also
drags the camps together with dark
packed which gives him even more
efficiency and does it at such a good
time where it actually ends up letting
both camps respawn from there he hits
the portal right after taking those
camps and I think this is good because
he's afraid of the gank he's afraid of a
movement up to the top Tower right the
movement to kick slark out of the lane
that these pro teams know they have to
make but he's able to evade it or evade
the potential gang and when he sees that
it's okay probably not happening because
he sees the CM mid he makes his way back
to his Lane and Farms it up again also
he buys his clarity as I mentioned is
very important completes his Mage Slayer
and he's ready to go and on the Mage
Slayer timing this is when you want to
start to connect to fights because now
you actually have some sort of an HP
pool because people don't do a lot of
damage to you when you hit them however
this fight ends up going really poorly I
think makes a good decision to back off
and not go in something you don't see
from Daio very often but it was the
right choice here now from there he
slows down the pace of the game and
Farms it up for a bit and a lot of
people see Daio as this Reckless player
that is just constantly going for kills
and dying as a result but something I've
noticed from watching a ton of his
replays his Al replays in particular uh
and now this slark replay is that he's
actually very good at slowing down the
pace of the game when it's necessary
what is slark's weakest point of the
game a lot of people probably don't know
the answer to that question but the
answer to that question is the daytime
because you're always seen your ulti
isn't that useful right the passives and
slark has bonus night fishing meaning
that he'll see you first in the
nighttime so essentially the daytime for
slark is terrible what does he do well
that's the time to farm he plays a
pretty defensive gameplay mostly Farms
the backat camps completes diffusal
almost completes diffusal during the
daytime and now when it's night and he
has the fusal it's time to go and that's
exactly what he does diffusal online and
he explodes onto the map and this this
is what most most people just don't do
they're too random it's like they just
do things at random times nighttime
diffusal Mage Slayer that's when you go
that's when you go now yeah he connected
to that fight earlier that didn't go
well because that's exactly when he hit
Mage Slayer right use timings guys I
know it's the simple point but every
time I watch people's replays they just
aren't doing these things and he invades
the jungle this isn't some random player
not solo killing a blade maluna his team
is behind him he's initiating giving the
vision going in first and you know what
that does it forces out boat he clicks
ulti to know because he knows that it's
going to be followed up on Laurel tries
to make the burst play he does get hit
by both of the nukes but he barely lives
because he clicked the ulti on the
torren combo right that's just good
intuition you know who's only going to
have that intuition to click ulti there
because realistically he could click
dark pack and try to just walk it off
right but he doesn't clicks ulti knowing
that he's going to get jumped because
he's so good at this he's done this so
much and he ends up living this allows
his team to take a free fight I actually
want to kind of play out this fight in
free camera and you'll see from his
teammates pers perspective it's just
really easy Pango can kite out because
they're going on slark Pango doesn't get
nuked here quap blinks in and because
she blinks in she dies right she gets
her Mana burnt she gets right clicked
down the supports come in late great
curse from tofu to kind of buy some time
here so well done on on his part there
and it's an easy fight right very very
simple because the quap overextended and
this fight is another example of how
good this guy is at actually playing out
these really hectic fights when chaos
ensues people choke they Panic they make
bad decisions but Dao in this team fight
makes great decisions he doesn't Shadow
dance the initial go here because he
knows that they're not following it up
that's just good overall awareness then
when Ace goes in with initiation on the
RP he does pounce to follow up which
seems a bit risky cuz he's out of
pounces now he's truly stuck but he does
have his Shard and his ulti keep in mind
he bought his Shard after the ax so many
slarks don't do this I don't know why
it's broken this Shard is op and people
just will skip it they'll just like not
buy it until late game and I'm like it's
just it's mindboggling cuz it's just a
second ulti that works on your teammates
it gives you 100 HP regen right it's
like a 300 heal as well it's insane and
so yeah drops that to try to keep him
and Ace alive it makes it very hard for
him to get xed right the kka can't combo
him he can't get Frost spin nothing like
that can come out he ends up getting
time dilated and that's very awkward cuz
dark pack is on cool down but he's okay
because he realizes that even though
this is going it's about to expire and
he might get chronoed and he gets his
ulti off just before the Chrono comes
out and that's the end of the team fight
because now you've chronoed your entire
team you don't kill the slark you try to
kill the slark but that sets up for a
very easy black hole on Faceless Void
and they kill him off that is some
incredible DOTA and then look at this
pounce like what is this P this this is
like the craziest part of the CLI I
guess he kind of had Vision okay I was
going to say when I first saw that I was
like was that blind no not really that
was just such a good team fight guys
like man and to show off the final
example of this play this is just really
good situational awareness once again
using each and every tool like you can
tell that this guy isn't just like some
formulaic player he's not a he's not a
robot he's very fluent right he's like
one of those anime characters that's
just in the moment that that rides off
their intuition that is really what he
is I mean it's truly what he is because
it's all situational decision-making and
and being a good slark that is what you
need so he gets xed here he decides to
be KB I guess he didn't want to ulti he
wanted to make some big plays yeah maybe
he could ulti but potentially he would
die after he comes back kka is very good
at disabling slark right with the with
the Shard you can push him even during
dark pack um so okay he bkbs his ul's
going right he's watching the passive
that's what he's doing here he's
watching the passive and his team smoked
they want to make a play because
faceless voyd is dead and they know it's
an easy team fight with no fa of Foy and
so what does he do he stays in the area
he's scouting the C are they going to
put a a ward on The High Ground are they
going to try to scout me out and he's
just providing the vision he will run up
when his team gets close enough and
that's exactly what he does runs up
maybe he should have clicked Q earlier I
mean that was close like the shaman
maybe could have hexed him but the
shaman didn't hex him now he uses the
ulti because the Q is about to expire he
uses the ulti so he doesn't get hex that
allows him to kill off the shaman I also
like that he pounces uh early there even
though he could have hit the guy it
gives you Essence shift so it lets you
kill them off faster also he needed to
pounce him to kill him in general but I
think doing it immediately is good there
because it gives you the stacks right
away then as the ul's ending the Q comes
back up and this is what it takes to be
a good slark you have to know how
everything layers together right you
want a q optimally q then when the Q is
ending ulti and then Q again and then
pounce out and then wait for the Q and
then maybe use your Shard right they all
kind of line up together and now his
initiation they try to counter it
they're like oh no bkb no ult but he
still has his Shard and his team was
smoking to him which team spirit did not
know and that sets a for very easy fight
uh puts down his shark card which I
don't think was really needed here but
whatever it's fine and they kill off the
quap good decision to pounce the quap
and not the kunga cuz kuna is not
getting out quap is so another good
decision from Daio just good decision
good decision good decision and yeah
they win the game from here on out so
thank you guys so much for watching
hopefully you enjoyed hopefully you
learned quite a bit about slark about
Daio uh and about DOTA I'll see you the
next one and I'm out peace and that's
all but remember before you leave come
