Teach Me Tuesdays: Pushing High Ground in Dota 2 Spectre/Bloodseeker/Phantom Lancer Sep 12, 2017

Show notes

Proud gets a new combo of students this week for Teach Me Tuesdays: Beedub and Cyphus. With both the "teachlings" focusing on safe lane cores, this episode focuses heavily on safe lane carry play. Beedub asks about pushing high ground and which cores are best at it before delving into alternative Monkey King carry builds. Plus Proud schools Cyphus on his recent Spectre play, a Viper misconception Cyphus holds, and helps Cyphus try to determine if he's farming too much. Beedub poses a few questions about Bloodseeker much to Proud's delight, and they close with another look at the issues with replacing Manta Style in Phantom Lancer's build.
