What mid hero you main says about you: (next video)

Void Spirit: You’re into edgy stuff or you just like to burst people down. You also probably have either Ember or Storm spirit in your hero pool.
Puck: You really like to poke people.
Zeus: You don’t like to play compl heroes but
Ember Spirit: You either really like the fast tempo playstyle from mid or you’ve watched this one 1vs5 rampage on Dota Cinema.
Storm Spirit:  You either really like the flashy playstyle or you’re a Bulba. In that case, please man, it is not the best hero in the game. (eg losestreak)
Sniper: you’re either below 3k mmr, or you watched one of the Topson’s games and decided to copy it.
Visage: you’re either a booster or you just like the easy wins
Huskar: you’re either a booster or you just like the easy wins.
But you’re not that great in choosing a hero to commit to play.
Meepo: you’re either used to be a booster or you just likED the easy wins. Now you probably play visage
.
Queen of Pain: you’ve bought an arcana.
Invoker exort: you’re probably adhd as f*ck. And you probably have a main character syndrome. (of fuck) 
Invoker quas: you like to press many buttons and you like to fight a lot. Probably think that Topson is the Greatest of all time
Shadow Fiend magic: you’re probably a russian kid that likes to listen to phonk. And you’re probably very emotional and not that smart.
Shadow Fiend physic: you’re probably a russian kid that likes to listen to phonk. But you’re at least smart enough to realize that you can’t win with magic in this patch.
Windranger: when you’re out of role tokens, you would probably pick this hero on any position. You also own an arcana.
Tinker: You’re addicted to pressing buttons. You’re probably either a very annoying or a very chill person
Broodmother: What is wrong with you?
Alchemist: you’re not really a mid player are you? ( image of alche farming jungle)

My old script about BotS Meepo

So, I got matched with this Meepo smurf,which turned out to be a top 300 player, and honestly I  was amazed by this new Meepo build and his active playstyle. Now, you can think whatever you want about smurfing, I am not defending smurfing, I’m here just to showcase you Meepo build that I found really strong in the current patch.
So, he starts with the usual starting items,except that he is not grading any of the items into anything. The first thing he buys, besides the set of tangos, is the Brown Boots. That’s because this guy is rushing the Boots of Travel, which turns out, an insanely strong boots on the Meepo right now.
From my perspective, Meepo has already had  for a very long time a very stale playstyle of just afk farming his critical mass. Even in the previous patches this playstyle hasn’t been working well,as there were too many matchups that were punishing meepo for his afk farming. In the current patch, power treads got nerfed, ethereal blade got destroyed for meepo, and stats from talents and skillpoints got also nerfed. ( they were giving double bonuses for clones)
So, the playstyle of quickly farming a critical amount of stats is basically nerfed.
Okay. First of all, Boots of speed. Meepo has a very high base movesepeed, but with Brown boots he will have 375 movespeed; which helps a lot for laning, as you can minimize the harass uptime that enemy will have on you, but also with this movespeed it would be easy for you  to stack a lot of camps in the jungle and you will basically be able to farm faster, since your ms will allow to farm some camps in between the creep waves.
So, your main job on the laning, is to farm as fast as you can, to get Boots of Travel quickly. And with boots of travels your gameplay changes drastically. This item not only gives you a lot of farm potential due to its mobility, but it will also allow you to connect with your teammates very early, which the normal meepo build would not allow, and also, if the laning is rough, the ability to teleport both your main meepo and clones will help you to salvage the rough matchups.
So, with Travels, Meepo can be played basically as a normal human being midlane hero, that can not only farm his timings, but, if he needs to, he is able to help his teammates.
So, your gameplay should be just farming as fast and effective as you can, but also watching for possible ganks to connect with your team, as you’re actually really strong at this point.
After the Travels, he usually buys double Dragon Lances. I know, he probably doesn’t even know that the range bonus doesn’t work on the Meepo. But on a serious note, this item got heavily buffed in the previous patches, this item gives an insane amount of stats to Meepo for its cheap cost. So, that's basically a no-brainer as this item will heavily increase your damage output and also your tankiness.
After these items, you can buy whatever you need in the game, but most of the time this player goes for a Skadi, since it gives a great amount of stats and also actually, the slow of this item is quite nice.
Before or after the skadi, he also buys a Blink Dagger for positioning. He doesn’t really need an early game blink, since with the travels meepo moves insanely fast, so by this time by the midgame, it’s pretty reasonable to buy blink,especially considering, that if you upgrade it later to a Swift Blink, this item’s agility will also work on your Meepo clones.   
Let’s move to the talents and skillbuild. First of all, he obviously maxes Poofs, with a value point in Ransack on the level 2. After the poof he prioritizes leveling an Earthbind, since by this time he should have travels already. And Travel boot’s movement speed combined with a maxed Earthbind will give you a huge amount of catch for easy kills.
On the level 10 with this build he always chooses Poof Damage,since Poofs are a notable part of your damage output.
Level 15 talent depends on the situation, if you have some kind of evasion against you, then you should level this talent. Another interesting thing that he does, is that if he’s unsure if the enemy’s going to buy an evasion item or not, he skips this talent and skills the stat bonuses. On the level 20 he goes for the Earthbind cooldown, and on the level 25 for the additional meepo clone.

How 5K mmr player knocked Miracle from TI

 In 2016, Miracle, arguably the most individually skilled player of all time of Dota 2, lost the most important match of that year to a 5k mmr player.
5988 that was the exact rating of the TNC team’s captain  at the moment of the clash between team OG and TNC in the loser bracket of the TI6’s playoff.
So, Miracle is the prodigy of Dota.  His first year of playing professionally for team OG was one the  MOST dominant performances of a single player in the history of Dota 2. This year Miracle gave us a lot of timeless highlights, such as winning Frankfurt Major,an astonishing 43 and 0 KDA performance at the Manila major playoffs, having played 4 consecutive games without a single death, 1st place at Manila major, this Invoker highlight, this Shadow Fiend juke,and he’s also became a first person to hit 9k mmr in the world, and the list of his highlights for that year only can go on and on.
So how did that happen, that this incredibly talented player lost one of the most important games of his career to an objectively lower mechanically skilled opponents?
TNC versus  OG match ended with a 2-0 for TNC, even though OG were highly favored throughout the whole time. OG were highly dominant pre-ti,they won 2 majors in the season,and in group stages they finished in first place, compared to TNC, who were not even in the upper bracket, but OG were unable to win a single game in the bo3 against them.
In all of their playoff games, OG were kinda overcomplicating themselves, it was clear that they were sticking too much to their comfort zone,and sometimes it even looked like they were arrogant, disregarding the enemies’ countericking threats.
Like picking Sven carry againsts already picked PA and Shadow Demon in the match against the MVP. This cost them a game.
They were also pretty careless for letting TNC  to hard counterpick them in both of the games, In the game 1 it was PL that was shutting down both medusa and drow ranger. Remember that at that time Drow didn’t have the armor piercing ultimate, so it was easy for PL to get tanky enough to be unkillable against the OG core heroes.  In the game 2 they left Huskar in the pool when they had absolutely no answer to that hero, as Huskar of that time, if there were no counters in the draft, was one of the cheesiest freewin heroes.|

Even in the bad matches Miracle never had a bad game, his insane micro has been carrying so hard. And in one of the most unfavorable matchups of that time: Ember Spirit against Huskar; he managed to show his teeth. He gave out the first blood to the enemy’s support gank, but he still managed to win the lane against the hardest counterpick, killing Huskar as Ember on level 6.
But even though Miracle was playing out of his mind in all of the games, that didn’t help the fact that it was miles harder for OG heroes to win. It was working for OG before, picking comfort zone heroes, assuming that team will win that way due to their highly superior game skills. But a TI is a different tournament, where what was working before could not work here. All the teams that get to TI try their hardest to prepare for the tournament, even the mediocre team of the season can gain a lot of strength and momentum, whereas many favorites and seemingly unstoppable teams have lost not even close to the champions place.
So, when OG were not performing as well as they usually were, TNC on the other hand, were playing like a complete unit. This SEA team were ready to slay, both their draft and game movements were on point in that series.  This game series will go down as one of the biggest non-TI winning moments of Dota’s history. Even if we compare the views from the popular Dota highlight channel: TNC vs OG has 3 million views, when TI6 finals has only 1 million. TNC’s performance really shook the world of Dota in that year, and this match will go down as one of the biggest sensations of Dota esports. Individual skill wise , OG were at an insane height that year, and Miracle in particular was the pinnacle of mid gameplay,and his 9k mmr skills lost not to the player with 5988 MMR, but to a team.
Later, Miracle will fix his mistakes and will win 2017’s TI, and TNC will forever stay as a crowd’s favorites as a team from SEA that proved that talent is not everything.

Shared Vision vs Night Stalker.

So, there’s this mechanic in Dota, called Shared Vision. This means that some spells can share the target’s vision with you.
So, since these spells share the enemy's vision with you, they’re basically gamewinning when playing against Night Stalker.
Razor’s Static Link, Silencer’s Last Word are good things to know about.
But what’s really imba versus night stalker is Spectral Dagger, since it doesn’t cost you much to throw a dagger and it’s so easy to hit an enemy with it. It also pierces spell immunity by the way.
Grimstroke can also be one of the best versus Night Stalker, since both his Silence and Ultimate work that way. The ultimate doesn’t even have to be bound to anyone. Just throw the ulti and get the vision.
Not as useful but also pretty cool to know that Meepo’s `Earthbind also shares the vision.
A bit weird, that these spells also share the full target’s vision Assassinate and Barathrum’s Charge.
Vision is the most significant part of a successful teamfight, since keeping or breaking the positioning are the most important things to do in the teamfight.

How yt thumbnails are made

Thumbnails are pretty important part of the success of the video, but not  he main thing.
First thumbnail I did having datohleong,jenkins and dota cinema's channels in mind. Thought about that a picture of 3 Pulses might catch an eye of the people, but in the end the video didn't do too well, I think for small channels like me it's more about the what's inside the video, that's why clickbaity meta of the bigger channels wouldn't work as good for the new channels. 
Second thumbnail I made wih a lot of deph an love into it, added a lot of vibrance o it, contoured light. The composition is simplistic enough - Invoker(hero that's in the video) and the combo pars with lots of spells&items)  In terms of the ideas - it's not the most thoughtout video, but it did not bad, considering that this video is unpolishsed and basically is a rant. 
But in general form my experience from Wicked Dota and from managing other youtube channels: you want to have an idea that will sound very cool, and then you need to edit the video so it would be very engaging to watch.
That's would be perfect
