Hey guys i'm adrin from vikingdota and today we will go through different phases of the game, of course doesn't seem like its a real deal but its kind of a knowledge you need to know in order to not feel baffled and continue improving while being aware of the state that you're in.

Note

Being aware is one of important things in dota which leads you to understand it furthermore so you can answer your own questions in future with more depth, so talking about these kind of stuff even so little will push your awareness one-step ahead, also by reminding yourself about what stage of the game you're at you can get much more comfortable deciding what to do so without wasting any time lets talk about it.

 

Laning

First stage and the most important one is laning, Its a phase we strictly focus on last hitting and simply getting the most resources out of lane and move to the next stage more comfortably, knowing that your main duty in that time is just getting the most gold and experience can let you understand you don't really need to loss yourself by trying to kill and being aggressive, winning a lane doesn't certainly mean you have to remove opponent heroes and farm an empty lane, there is a lot of ways to win lanes without stressing yourself, by the way we have full video just about that you can check out!

Ganking

After a successfull laning stage of course here it comes ganking stage that you've already farmed and you have your timings which makes you confident about capabilities of your hero, in that situation you are one step ahead from your opponent because of laning and you're willing to use that advantage and increase your networth by farming heroes which means you don't just start a farming race after laning and you want to use your farmings to make more space and increase your team's networth, by the way don't forget you're not alone in that game and you have to communicate with your team.

 

Pushing

Lets say you finished first two stages with a success and now you want to win the game, killing heroes will not eventually destroy their throne so we get to a situation where we farmed, ganked and we completed every step to start proving our strength by pushing lanes and taking objectives to make even more space simply you will have to make yourself comfortable on map by doing those things and take control of the map.
