The headline stat
9/7/23, and nine structures personally
Two losses on this hero in a row before this one — The Only Kill Was First Blood and Thirty-One Kills, Two Deaths — and then Night Stalker actually works.
9/7/23 with 12,496 tower damage, the highest on either team, and personal credit for nine separate structures across the match — more than anyone else on my team touched individually. Whatever wasn’t clicking the last two games clicked this time.
11:54–39:06
A real rivalry with Faceless Void, for once
S1milar’s Faceless Void killed me three times (11:54, 15:50, 39:07), the closest thing to a nemesis this game had. I got him back twice (29:47, 34:16) in the middle of a good run that also included both of Windranger’s deaths (30:09, 41:18) and a second kill on Snapfire (32:49). Arc Warden died to me twice early (19:37, 26:54) before Radiant gave up on the split-push entirely.
the shape of the win
MoJIoko’s Rubick (16/6/30, 76.7% teamfight participation) and malahovskaa’s Sniper (16/5/24, 48,070 hero damage) did the actual killing; Качинский’s Dazzle claimed first blood at 4:40 and finished with 22,248 healing, highest on either team. Four Dire players broke double-digit kills or assists. This wasn’t a game any one hero carried — it was five people having a good night at the same time.
23:12–42:26
Three towers total for Radiant
Radiant’s entire structural output was three tier-one towers, the last one at 37:17 to Faceless Void — by which point Dire had already taken both racks on two lanes and was pushing the third. Everything else on the map, all the way to the fort at 42:26, went to Dire. Neither side ever contested Roshan.
Same hero, same steam ID, same me. The other two games weren’t a fluke and neither is this one — it’s just what a range of outcomes on one hero actually looks like.
