How To Improve Your Map Awareness | Dota 2 7.31d 

Aww thanks!

It's tough!

On point !

That's not bad i used to do this but actually you need to be more focused on the timer as there is more than pull. For exemple minute 1 you can / should block the camp. Then there are stack. Then there is the 2:47 pull where you want to get bounty. So there is a lot more to it.

or just checking the time when u have nothing to do. then u can see that "oh i have xx second to pull' etc

How did you create this time because I need it!!

Thank you for the great timer idea! I went even further and made it beep every 5 seconds until 15 minutes into the game, then every 10 seconds. Absolutely crazy how much this helps.

Awesome to hear you're already seeing some instant improvements! Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

@@ZQuixotix Hi Zach, could I ask you a favor? I had a game where as Pos 5 Dawnbreaker my Pos 1 had a very easy lvl 1 lane and I felt I could zone out my opponent Shadow Fiend in mid. Indeed I feel I made him spend a lot of resources and lose an entire wave, buy my Pos 2 Sniper flamed me all the game for this move. Was I griefing or was it the right call? It's just until minute 1:30 and maybe you are interested in viewing this because this is not a common situation. 6685063311

Thank you!

If u keep up the work and practice it will become very natural, u will feel things and won't need to actively think about them anymore.

Yes, it's super tiring! I always try to take short breaks between games so I can do my best to keep my focus high

I didn't think anyone would really be interested in the process so much so I hadn't thought about making a video on it. I might in the future! I don't teach, but I had considered being a teacher. I taught some fencing camps/classes with my club back in the day which gave me some teaching experience. Besides that, just any tutoring/helping as a student. As for my process (simplified), usually I have an idea for what I want a video to be about. Spend awhile thinking through that topic, what needs to be included, anything I think could be good. I keep a list of these ideas and some notes on them, and they usually sit on this list for quite awhile until I have time to actually make them. While they sit there, I often mentally talk through what I want to say. Depending on the topic, I either make a PowerPoint for it OR just run through it live while showing stuff if I think that would convey the topic better. For these PowerPoint ones, I put down whatever I've thought up to this point, and I usually work on them and sit on them for a couple weeks. Keep adding in or fine tuning stuff as I go. Then I record and re-record a bunch and sometimes change stuff up until I'm happy/sick of working on it and just release it LOL. PowerPoint vids typically take me a several weeks of on and off prep. On the fly videos are usually a few hours of having an idea, planning, and then doing it.

True I should have gone a bit more into detail about the creeps. I talk about it in videos, but it really should have gone in here too

Thanks for the interest! Unfortunately, it probably won't be for a bit, I've been having a hard time balancing everything so I reduced coaching to try to be able to make more videos. Wednesday streams (or whenever they end up being) I do free replay analysis giveaways which are kind of like mini coachings if you want to try that

@@ZQuixotix how can we submit videos for replay analysis?

Lmao

Una vez le comente a Zach para ayudarlo a traducir sus vídeos al español, ojalá el canal pudiera llegar a la comunidad hispanohablante

@@giancarloprado8206 te respondió?? es info muy buena, explica demasiado bien y son cosas que muchos omiten explicar porque asumen que todos lo saben, y obvio no es así, alguien debe enseñártelas

@@haru_fome Si me dijo que el ya habia pensado en los subtitulos en varias ocasiones pero que no sabia de que manera hacerlo, ya que RU-vid lo pone un poco complicado para que los miembros de la comunidad puedan poner subitulos a los videos. Pero que definitivamente lo tendra en cuenta par el futuro.

Pretty sure mids care about their power runes at least :)

@@fsy7316 nah, im mid and its the job of my supports to ping the time when it's close to the power runes spawn :)

I play mid and I'm constantly looking at 2, 3 , 4 power runes. Also looking to stack the small camp. Other than that on 5 and 10 mins thier are catapult waves so always looking to Destroy enemy catapult mid and rotate to a lane to pressure tower. Looking on timers has more to do with if you are a good player or not , not which role you play.

@@sougatchhetri8677 ah... that's not how we do it in SEA. If I play carry and I have to buy a BKB, that means our supports failed.
