Ill start with something here. Example of a nice pick and lane distribution.

Up lane : shaker lina
Mid : solo qop
bott : maiden jugger

lina and maiden warding.
qop imba genker
u could change qop for mirana, i puted it cause its my favourite genker
regarding lanes, bottom lane maiden-jugger is imposibble to escape from it,
jugger is free farming early, as they move closer they are dead.
shaker lina lane is verry nice too, shaker is "spaming" 1st, lina just waits for
lvl and good oportunity to ks. Thanks to range of shakers 1st, lina can verry easy ks.
When shaker gets dagger we are ready to push serious.

Heres a nice game that proves otherwise
That weaker pick in theory can sometimes be wining one
tho oponents are strong. My acc is M4SKA there.
We woned a quiet balanced and hard game, with not much KSing
i am afraid i have lost the replay, but heres screenshot of game.

Another gr8 pick :

Top : Skelet + Lesh
Mid: Silencer
Bott: Nerub + lina

This pick will be tried soon

[energy]

very good pick :
top lane:lina +leoric
midd lane:solo magnus
bot lane:nerub+zeus

[[_--T]Maska]

interesting pick , yes
something to play beetwen rushed and end game.
can be talked about it.
kinda miss real carry in it, its skelet but i dont like him much in carry role here.
its verry hard to find good teammates to play rushed tact here on xpam. U must be verry good
in teamwork to play it good.

we were playing rushed tactics on ggc all the time,with success ofc but here they have a different playstyle espescially those "pro" clans with tons of aoe withouth gangs and proper teamwork.when we pick rushed tactic heroes then the game should be over in 35-40 min (thats why its called rushed :))and not in 60-70 min where mass aoe +imba carry owns.so heroes like sand king should go rune hunting and ganging from early lvls (like we saw in many replays).in mid game we should gang the whole time while our carry farms a bit,not too much ofc,just w8 for the right moment for a quick push and voila "rushed game". :)

mby better pick:
bot lane:spectre+dazzle
midd lane:solo nevermore
top lane:nerub+puck

[xXJesusXx]

Grr,,1of my favourite tac's

Up Lane : Zeus+Jakiro (nuke combo)
Midd Lane : Tiny/Rexxar (lvl5 = imba ganker)
Down Lane : Lina/Leshrac+Sand King/Sven (Stun Combo)

[basics]

A very criminal combo on lane in early is Naga and Yurnero. How to escape? play void !

[[_--T]Maska]

top : levoric + leshrac
bot : davion + Sp
mid : qop

[[_--T]Maska]

mid : centaur
top : zeus + shaker
bot : Spec + Sp

How can u defeat keeper of the light in 1v1 -ap games? I for one think it can`t due to a "stupid" strategy i use. I`ll add some replays next week, but by then try to answer.
The "stupid" strategy goes like this:
in ap games u have 3 lanes, and starting with lvl 6 cu can influnce at least 2 lanes at the same time. Keeper always stays on the lane that his opponent is also while spamming ball killing creeps leaving opposition hero without the option of pushing nor farming. In this time the ultimate pushes on another lane. The opposition hero gets overwhelmed while he can`t kill keeper if keeper has a bot, eul and guinso(in early game is enough just bot, then u compensate with eul), which he will have cause he`s farming 2 lanes at the same time. How about opposition using avatar to get u? U just turn around and run for several secs you do have quite some ms, or use the fog then u turn around and start spamming again.
Not to say you`re gonna outfarm the bastard soo much.
The goal of this game is not to kill your opponent, just to stay alive and push 2 lanes. he can`t be in 2 places at the same time. eventually u`ll get to the base and have mega creeps .
I used this strategy against heroes like, viper, nerubian etc.
Probably furion is some challenge as he can use his ultimate and teleport around more often. But that won`t make him superior to keeper.

[[_--T]Maska]

depends bro
how much oposition farmed, how much travel they have.
how good is their pick, are they playing late game.
manny reasons, but hes fun hero to play with, gr8 farmer.
