The headline stat
My only kill of the game was first blood
Night Stalker finished 1/7/10. The one kill came at 9:04. Nothing else landed for the next thirty-nine minutes.
First blood on Sniper, with Skywrath Mage’s help, looked like a good sign at the time. It was the high point of the game — Radiant grabbed four early towers, then spent the next half hour losing every single thing on the map to a Dire comeback that never let up.
14:40–48:25
Lycan again, mostly
пивасик’s Lycan had a hand in four of my seven deaths — three direct kills (29:52, 45:33, 48:25) and one more as an assist behind Zeus’s kill at 35:34. The other three direct kills went to Sniper, Drow Ranger, and Vengeful Spirit, one each. I never found a second kill to answer any of it.
the real story of the loss
пивасик’s Lycan finished 12/5/8 at level 28 — eight levels clear of anyone else in the match — with 15,552 tower damage and personal credit for eight separate structures in the final push, including three of Radiant’s four raxes. Felix_navidad’s Sniper (6/4/14, 31,609 hero damage) and Mr.Pencil’s Drow Ranger (30 denies, most in the match) did the rest of the damage; between the three of them Dire converted an early four-tower deficit into a total map wipe.
19:47–48:28
Four towers, then nothing for us
Radiant’s early game was genuinely good: two Dire tier-ones down by 25:14, a tier-two at 29:56. That’s the entire list. From 28:40 onward — the same window Lycan started hitting level milestones — every structure on the map went the other way: both remaining tier-ones, every tier-two and tier-three, all four raxes, tier-four twice, the fort at 48:28. Roshan never came up either side.
Getting first blood tells you who won a fight. It doesn’t tell you who wins the game.
