Barathrum - Spirit Breaker

Senchow's log,


An outcast of the Spirithoof clan, Barathrum retreated in shame to the Ethereal Plane, feeding off wandering souls to sustain himself, and wandered aimlessly for centuries, alone and miserable. Found and recruited by the Lich King, Barathrum's uncanny speed and wraithlike powers have now been unleashed upon the Material Plane, his lantern able to project nether energy into enemies, sending them backwards with sudden force. With the ability to close the distance between himself and a target in seconds, Barathrum the Spiritbreaker is more than a match for anyone.







In Dota, this is my all time favourite hero, most people refer this hero as SB a.k.a Spirit Breaker. Why this is my favourite? Because this hero can kill, I mean can really kill. Usually if you use SB and against one on one, by 90% you will win, why? because SB have this awesome skill to kill his opponent. One of them is the Greater Bash, with this skill not many heroes are able to escape from SB, I always believes that SB is the only hero that able to make bash loop, it happen sometime where when the enemy got bash twice in row, I just love this skill making my opponent vulnerable :P. I'm not going to blog about all of SB skillset, so for more info please click here.








In this past 2 weeks, my game play for Dota is suck, I think it was the worst performance ever, I loses almost all game that I played, I guess the main reason for that is first - I got heroes that I'm not familiar with, 2nd - I can't sync with my other team mate to get a good collaboration and 3rd - all of my opponent are pros. But that all changed yesterday evening. It has been long since I got SB, really long, and yesterday the tide has turn, I was the killing machine, I managed to kill 16 heroes but unfortunately I died 6, and more bad news, my team lost. But the game was very tight, a lot of pushing from one side to another and in the late game all of them aim me and my killing partner the Brood Mother (Spiderthrone), never thought spiderthrone a.k.a Along can play Brood Mother, but guess what, he himself was surprise that he can actually play Brood Mother, thumbs up for you bro.

Busy Month of December (The Ultimate Month)

Senchow's log,

It's been awhile since my last post, I've been busy with work+life, hard to coop these days, I mean to fulfil everything that has been planned, but there are thing that have been fulfil or the more exact word should be achieved which is my dotarank, one of the ultimate game played nowadays.

Dotarank (please click here for more detail) is a website dedicated for Dota players to have a rank (they called it Arank) in the server we played. Well basically one of the purpose is to measure the frequent of times we played and the rest emm..better you read from the website it self. There are rules or criteria which needs to be follow in order to get point and to my understanding as long as you never leave before the game ends, you will get a point which will give you a ranking.

Currently, my rank in the Blueserver is 8 and in the top 100 my position is at 61 (click here), these position will change daily because everybody play the game all the time and submit it to dotarank everyday, so if you don't play even for one day than your current position can be drop, but again all of these depend on the frequent of the players sending the report to dotarank. Last time I checked, there were more than 20,000 players in blue server itself. So, its not easy to maintain your Arank.

The font of the image is to small to read :)

I will try to improves my position to be at a higher level, but this definitely takes time+effort+determination :)). Currently this is the only online game that I play, I'm waiting from Blizzard to release the prequel of StarCraft which goes by the name StarCraft2 (click here for more detail). I believes these will be the ultimate game in 2008 (I hope Blizzard will release it next year). Dota is actually a custom map (created by Guinsoo and now IceFrog) which runs from Warcraft3 which is a Blizzard game. So I guess I'm fond to Blizzard game. Just see the cinematic and you definitely going to fall in love with Blizzard, I mean for gamers of course.
