Micromanagement

"Micro your units please!"

"Don't just stand there!"

"Noob..."

Yes... I was in limbo once again. It took me a while to find out how I died.

When I was busy earning experience at the middle lane, I have sent my other self to the shop to buy something. I have completely forgotten that and Meepo2 was left standing at the shop waiting to get killed. And he did get killed... that's why I am here again. 

It was already so difficult to concentrate on killing minions for money and experience and at the same time I still have to tell Meepo2 what to do?

This is almost unfair, why is my ability so special? Almost everyone else has only themselves to worry about while I have multiple selves. 

But I knew I had to learn, I knew I have to get a hold of myself. My team was depending on me.

Then suddenly I recalled a good friend of mine, who specialises in combating with more than 1 unit. His name was Sylla, the lone druid. 

"Sylla of the bear clan!"

Sylla was not around but I was really eager to learn some tricks from him. Therefore, I took out my mobile phone and downloaded some replays of Sylla in action and analysed his movements and "micro skills" (Micro in gaming terms means controlling more than 1 unit). 

I found out that this method of learning is by far the most effective way for me. It is even better than Sylla being around for me. This is because, when he is here to teach me, I can only learn as long as he stays. On top of that, he may even forget important information at that moment. However, if i study his skills online, I not only can do it as and when I want, I can always go back to check when I am unsure. 

Traditional learning in my opinion has been taken over by online learning, or Internet learning. 

I have a feeling that in the future, there will not be any DotA classrooms anymore, the future classroom will look exactly like my room. This is because it IS going to be my room. Everyone can study in the comfort of their rooms and be as efficient if not more efficient than any classroom. 

As the respawn timer began to run out, my determination for destruction grew.

Time for a show down.
