Hmm I think Purge is one of the only guys who makes videos for individual heroes. I don't really like watching purge. He tends to go for some lame pub build and usually I'm trying to learn what the pros are actually doing, given that I'm assuming that the top teams know the best way to unlock each hero's fullest potential.
Example: I want to learn support VS, he might end up playing a carry VS instead.
I watched like 20+ his replays and he has great map awareness but also plays super defensive from what I've seen (levels up by farming and letting others get involved into team fights). Once he levels up decently he is untouchable from what I've seen.
Can you recommend some other pro for replays?
Also poker related question here for you: Have you consider offering coaching and staking deals for cash/zoom ?
1. I only watch BTS vods but I think there is not too much learning value from those. If I could, I would watch iceiceice and LaNM's replays all day because both of them play my favourite heroes (Nature's Prophet, Enchantress, Venomancer) but the current Valve system forces you to purchase tournament tickets and I'm definitely not going to pay $10 to watch some replay.
2. Well many people have contacted me regarding such matters. Honestly I'm not too interested in such deals - They are generally high risk/low reward. I do have 1 or 2 deals going on at the moment but those are exceptions.
Not sure if some of you remember Silent21 (Ivan). That guy owes me close to 1k for 15 hours of coaching and he still hasn't paid me after 1.5 years. Last month I asked for him to pay me and he did tell me to send me my bank details but he ended up closing his Facebook account and he went missing again.

Honestly I'm not too happy with what I wrote, not sure if this is what you guys were looking for.
It sucks to hear that guy stood you up and cheated. Regardless I think you would find many people who wouldn't do that to you. I do understand where you are coming from tough 
Was it some kind of profit share deal? If not, why coach someone before being paid?
Ive played my fair share of both dota dota2 and lol both have its own pros and cons Yes u cant deny minions but in dota when u farm like 40 mins ur hard to kill e1 when 5 people are hammering in that case with 6 pack inventories u die in like 3-4 seconds if u get caught in LOL 
In lol games are faster and more fight oriented as hero kills give more gold/assist compared to dota and minions(creeps) give less gold like half of dota (15-19) while in dota u get double of that. 1 wrong teamfight and u can lose e1 when u have 2 0r 3 sides inhibitors (mega creeps as compared to dota) and U cant buyback e1 if u have large amount of golds as in dota u can buyback and save ur lanes easy so comebacks are a bit tough although have seen some epic ones ♦
and about recreational thing Lol is more competitive as when people reach level 30 ranked system is there and u enter a specific rank with people of same or likewise skills with you To climb that ladder is very tough in some cases ♦ and the competitive lol scene is very interesting a guy playing from only a year raped (faker mid solo )every1 at the biggest tournament and any team can make a huge impact in no time
WTF Ivan 
Bye bye ethical principles

That was even faster than the fast Poker. hehe
I think that there are explain the main adaptation to make to change to fast fold poker.
The difference that we find on the post-flop is related to the tighter ranges on the pre-flop, só, the reads are the same as in the regular tables, but to tighter PF ranges that go to play the post-flop-
A fish is a fish even in a zoom table, he will play with a tighter range but he will make a lot os mistakes as well.
One thing that I am seeing is that is not a good idea to play for setvalue with the lower PP's, like 44-. I am loosing a lot os sets over sets with this kind of hands, a lot more than in the regular tables. Could this only be variance? I think not.

yes profit sharing, and i wanted him to move up to nl200 more quickly instead of making him pay first and hurt his bankroll.
i was also more trusting of him cos he did stay with jozef for quite a while in their bratislava flat and as you all know i respect jozef a lot so I assumed that he could be trusted by means of association.

i feel like blogging some strategy, so I'm inviting you guys to provide some suggestions. Preferably about topics that aren't too simple and aren't too complex (can be covered in a single article).*perfect* betsizes preflop & postflop for single & 3bet pots against different stacksizes (maybe vs 40bb, 50bb, 75bb, 100bb, 125bb, 150bb) and why that particular betsize is superior.
hmm Ok I might try to write something about this. Geometric growth of pot?
Depends what u think is good on the various boards...
e.g. 3betpot: 40% flop, 40% turn, 75% River or 55% 55% 55% and so on - i often find myself lost in those spots if the stacksize isn't close to the standard 100bb
Galvin if you ever decide to do coaching + staking, count me in 100%! Appreciate it
Hello Galvin,
I will be very happy to have your insight on playing in SB vs BU and BB vs BU scenarios with regards to both preflop and postflop range construction .
What does your standard strategy look like and what factors make you deviate from it?
It's likely going to be a very long post, so perhaps you can start off with doing BBvsBU first and see how it goes
I love the initiative, thumbs up!
Best Regards,
S ♠_love:
@sariyskis: sorry this topic is way too complex to go into detail in a single page so I don't think I would be covering that, I'm looking for more general topics to cover.
Anyway, I bought a webcam over the weekend (randomly picked up a $65 Logitech webcam from a Challenger store without really researching) so you can expect more videos from me soon (with picture-in-picture). I made 1 vid (nl100) for my own site and 1 vid for PS (nl200), will link it here once it has finished uploading.
