The headline stat
We died seventy-eight times. Dire died forty-one. We won.
Drow Ranger finished 5/13/19 with first blood. Radiant as a whole finished 41 kills to Dire’s 77, gave up both Roshans, and never lost a tier-three or a rax — then took Dire’s mid lane, both tier-fours, and the fort in forty-five seconds at the end.
The game after Drow Ranger, Six Times, I was the Drow Ranger, and the shoe fit: thirteen deaths, four of them to Tinker, three to a Batrider who took part in his last kill at 25:19 and finished a sixty-four-minute game at level 15. Dire played the last thirty-nine minutes a player short, out-killed us nearly two to one anyway, and still lost the only fight that mattered.
2:52–56:59
First blood, then nothing for thirty-two minutes
Phantom Assassin died to me at 2:52 for first blood, with Pudge, Clinkz and Crystal Maiden on it, and I didn’t kill anything else until 35:25 — Phantom Assassin again. Witch Doctor followed at 36:52, Phantom Assassin a third time at 51:26 (Tinker killed me three seconds later), and Witch Doctor again at 56:59. In between, the deaths: Tinker four times (16:58, 29:43, 51:30, 56:20), Phantom Assassin three, Witch Doctor twice plus once to his death ward, and Batrider three times in three and a half minutes (21:15, 23:00, 24:43) right before he vanished. My hero damage dealt and taken finished 23 apart: 37,580 and 37,557.
the shape of the win
imnxtamess’s Sniper (12/9/13) personally took Dire’s mid tier-two, tier-three, both mid racks and a tier-four between 63:33 and 64:05 — five structures in thirty-two seconds. I took the other tier-four at 64:02; Shadow in the woods’s Clinkz (16/12/9, level 30) took the fort at 64:18. On the other side, ugly face people’s Tinker did 74,452 hero damage, the highest in the match, and opex’s Phantom Assassin went 20/13/24. this guy’s Crystal Maiden died twenty-four times for Radiant and still had the highest teamfight participation on the team, 65.9%.
20:24–64:18
Six of ours, eleven of theirs, and none of ours past tier-two
Dire took all three Radiant tier-ones by 22:05 and all three tier-twos by 53:51, and that was as far as they got — not a single Radiant tier-three, rax or tier-four fell all game. Radiant’s own tier-one push was slower (29:11 to 34:49), Clinkz took their bottom tier-two at 59:43, and then everything else Dire lost, they lost between 63:33 and 64:18. Both Roshans went to Dire, at 41:27 and 54:56, and neither converted into a building.
Seventy-eight deaths is a bad game. Seventy-eight deaths and the other team’s fort is a bad game somebody else has to write about.

Reconstructed from the match replay with dotabuff/manta · combat log + entity snapshot analysis. GPM/XPM and net worth weren’t reliably recoverable from this replay’s combat log and are omitted for everyone. Two Radiant tower losses (tier-one top at 20:34, tier-two mid at 42:08) are logged with a same-team destroyer, a known parser quirk, so they’re counted as team losses and credited to nobody. Batrider’s final level and his last hero-kill involvement at 25:19 come from the replay itself, not from any external leaver flag. Match 8679243677 · 10 players · 64:18 · Radiant victory.
