The headline stat
Nine kills, nine deaths, nine assists, and three more kills that didn’t count.
Lone Druid finished 9/9/9, a game after Three of My Seven Kills Were the Bear, and again three of the nine were the Bear’s. The combat log has three more: Wraith King brought to zero by me at 20:04 and by the Bear at 32:29, both Reincarnations, and Shadow Fiend at 31:14 — an Aegis, from the Roshan Wraith King had taken forty-two seconds earlier. None of the three counted, and the scoreboard is right.
Radiant lost all eighteen buildings and took two, both to creep waves; no Radiant hero destroyed a structure. Dire took both Roshans and had mega creeps from 48:20. Pro feeder — the Windranger from Megas for Seventy Seconds — was on my side again, on Venomancer.
3:23–50:13
Two kills in the first four minutes, then the Bear took over Slark
First blood was Ogre Magi’s on Sniper at 3:07; I took Slark sixteen seconds later and Wraith King at 3:44 — before he had a Reincarnation to hide behind — then Largo alone at 10:16. From there the Bear did the Slark work: 16:58, 27:47, 50:13, three of Anubis’s nine deaths to a bear and a fourth to me. My own other kills were Shadow Fiend at 25:42, Ogre Magi at 36:18 and Largo again at 39:30. The deaths spread across four heroes: Shadow Fiend three, Largo two — the first of them three seconds after I’d popped Wraith King’s Reincarnation at 20:04 — Ogre Magi two, Slark two.
the real story of the loss
Пуджин(Oleggay)’s Shadow Fiend went 20/3/16 at level 29 on a ten-kill streak with 68,042 hero damage, the most in the match, took four of our buildings and the second Roshan. Anubis’s Slark (21/9/13) took six more, the bottom tier-three and both its racks included. Flashwing’s Largo — a hero this blog hadn’t met before — finished 2/3/30 with 47,852 healing, the highest on either team by a distance. KorOlLich’s Wraith King died eight times and reincarnated nine; on our side bytza’s Techies had 75.8% teamfight participation and sixteen deaths.
17:48–53:01
Two creep towers for us, eighteen buildings for them, megas by 48:20
Dire took our mid and bottom tier-ones by 20:31 and our bottom tier-two at 27:02 (logged to my own Bear, credited to nobody); Radiant’s only answers were a siege creep on their top tier-one at 19:59 and a creep wave on their bottom one at 48:26. Mid went at 35:38–36:04, top at 47:20–47:55, bottom at 48:07–48:20, all three lanes to the racks. Mega creeps took both tier-fours in the same second at 52:29 and the fort at 53:01. Wraith King took Roshan at 30:31, Shadow Fiend at 51:49.
Nine, nine and nine, with three kills on top that the game handed straight back. Symmetry is not the same thing as a good result.

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. Three combat-log death events caused by my kit — Wraith King at 20:04 (me) and 32:29 (the Bear), and Shadow Fiend at 31:14 (me, an Aegis) — are flagged will_reincarnate and excluded from every kill count and the chart; the remaining nine, three of them the Spirit Bear’s last hits, match the scoreboard exactly. The Bear’s damage, tower damage and last hits are in my row per this blog’s whole-kit rule. Radiant’s bottom tier-two (27:02) is logged with a same-team destroyer, a known parser quirk, so it’s counted as a Radiant loss and credited to nobody.
