Since I'm going to start streaming again soon, I thought I'd take the time to update this thread.
Hi teamliquid! My name is Kurtis Ling and I play the hard carry role for Team Dignitas www.team-dignitas.net. I'm 20 years old and am currently a student at the University of British Columbia.
I used to stream relatively frequently, but stopped because I felt that graphics lag caused me to showcase poor play. However, I will be building a new computer very soon in order to stream again. Similarly to before, I will try my best to address all questions asked in chat. Obviously I will still miss some, so feel free to post any questions that I may miss in this thread.
I come from an sc2 background (na server gm all 3 races game handle ValiditySAGA), which allows me to have what I feel are solid DotA2 mechanics. I also tend to build heroes a bit differently than most people (a lot of my builds like manta brood/mek core on ranged tanky carries have become used a decent amount in the DotA scene), so feel free to ask in this thread--the explanations may be a bit long for talking on stream--if you don't understand my reasoning behind a build. Also feel free to critique said builds, because I generally enjoy any discussion, and often, said discussion leads to a more efficient build or other positives.
Once I start streaming again, I will be replying daily to this thread. So please feel free to leave any constructive criticism or requests in this topic.
And a link to my stream: www.twitch.tv/aui_2000 And twitter: www.twitter.com/aui_2000
Hope you will check out and hopefully enjoy my stream!
original post (minus 1 edit to change pb to dignitas) + Show Spoiler +Hi Teamliquid! My name is Kurtis Ling and I'm currently playing DotA2 under the handle Aui_2000 for team dignitas (winners of prodota2 $10000). I am completely new to streaming and self-commentating my play, so at the beginning my speaking will probably be limited to answering questions asked in chat by viewers, other than when I am on skype with friends. If you have any critiques of how I am running my stream, please feel free to tell me what I can do better (in a hopefully articulate and logical way--I don't really mind if you want to be direct and confrontational about it). I play the 1 role for my team (hard carry/most farm given) and come from an sc2 background (gm accounts with z/t/p) which hopefully allows me to have decent mechanics. I tend to go builds that stray from the norm, but unless I'm doing a for fun build (i.e. dagons everywhere) I will only do a build if it makes sense to me (lightning bear/manta brood/mek viper etc.), so feel free to ask in chat what my reasoning behind a build is (or if I miss it in chat because I only have 1 monitor, then post in this thread). Note that I obviously don't believe that my builds are without flaws, but usually they have some sort of logical thought behind them. I also try to understand game mechanics as well as I can, so please ask questions about those too (these ones I also get to review/often learn new stuff so I love them) and I actually really enjoy playing theory-craft. I hope to use this thread as a home base of sorts for any (hopefully) viewers that want to talk about/ask questions/write constructive feedback about my stream. This is because teamliquid.net has, out of habit from sc2, become one of the websites that I will routinely check every day, thus hopefully allowing me to answer every question asked in this thread. And of course, a link to my stream: www.twitch.tv/aui_2000Thanks for watching! Oh and I will not be answering any questions about future sponsor, sorry! Last edit: 2012-12-13 08:58:32 |

I'd actually look forward to that :D. The bad ones are often the ones most entertaining to think about because of the lens you have to approach them with |

| Aui -- a question on your Lone Druid. Considering the Rabid skill with provides +40% attack speed, is Mjollnor necessary? What do you think about a Basher instead? |

| Hey Aui - how did you configure the minimap to show heros with their text name - i.e. "Shadow Fiend"? It looks really useful but I can't find the console command. |
