Roshan, Both Tier-Fours, and the Fountain

The headline stat

Solo Roshan, both tier-fours, and a death to the fountain six seconds before the fort.

Third Huskar game in a row, after Megas for Seventy Seconds and Level Thirteen at Thirty-Five Minutes, and this one was a win. 6/11/5, first blood given at 5:28, the lowest teamfight participation in the match — and the highest hero damage and damage taken on either team, the only Roshan of the game with nobody else on it, and both Radiant tier-fours as my own last hits.

Then I dived the fountain and died to it at 52:23. Bloodseeker took the fort at 52:29. Radiant lost all eighteen of their buildings; four of them were mine.

5:28–52:23

Every kill came with a death attached

At 30:03 I killed Legion Commander, at 30:09 Skywrath killed me, and at 30:11 Slardar died to me anyway — Burning Spears still burning. At 41:31 I took Roshan alone, killed Windranger four seconds later, and died to Skywrath three seconds after that. At 52:20 I killed Skywrath Mage in his own base and the fountain killed me four seconds on. Skywrath got me three times in all; Io twice, including first blood; Slardar twice; Windranger, Legion Commander, a thunder lizard at 33:27 and the fountain once each. Legion Commander at 35:55 and Slardar at 51:32 were the only two kills that didn’t cost me anything within the same ten seconds.

12:16–52:29

Eighteen of eighteen, six of ours, and a tier-two of theirs at 28:05

Sniper opened on Radiant’s mid tier-one at 12:16; Windranger answered with two of ours by 29:11, and I took their mid tier-two at 28:05 in between. Radiant’s tier-ones were all gone by 35:28 and their tier-twos by 36:43. Then one lane at a time: top tier-three and racks in twenty seconds at 43:33, bottom tier-three and racks in nineteen seconds at 47:32 (the melee rax mine), and from 51:16 the mid tier-three, both mid racks, both tier-fours and the fort — six buildings in seventy-three seconds. Dire lost six towers in total and no racks. The Roshan at 41:31 was the only one either team took.

Two Huskar games at the bottom of the scoreboard and nothing to show for it. A third with the lowest participation in the lobby, a Roshan, two tier-fours and a fort. The number wasn’t the problem.
