The Art of MindGames vol.7

I'm a slowpoke, didn't even realize that totallnewbie has released his 7th and final volume of his MindGames Collection. This was released about 2 weeks ago.



As his final volume, I expect the content to be fabulous, and he delivers. Although, as stated by some people in his channel, the opening music theme, Requiem is overrated and overused. And there's not much scenes included in this video, considering this is his final work on Art of MindGames. Some of my personal favorite highlights in this video:

-2.05: I might see this wrong, at first I thought that Treant was a real nub for failing to kill Tiny, but then I realize the ministun he had when he brake from his invis (prolly because of Craggy Exterior). Quite a luck eh, Tiny.
-3.12: Nice risk taken by Pudge, and teamwork with Leshrac. Survives Multicasted Fireblast and Ignite, avoid Firestorm, and still has the gut to hook Ogre Magi and survives. In the end all Ogre, DK and Pit Lord dead :3
-5:30: Triple kill by Obsidian Destroyer on Vengeful Spirit, Earthshaker and the revived VS. Note that this is a low level fights (probably at level 1, with OD took a level in Astral Prison, while DK with DragonTail), and hence the quick return of VS. Nice Juke to avoid death, survives with a mere 15 hp.

Overall The Art of Mind Games series has been one of the most inspirational dota videos for me; since its release more than a year ago, there's very few dota videos of that kind and I'm truly impressed by the juking, mind games skill displayed by the players in those videos. This indirectly teach the watchers (which is massive) on the mind games, and raise the level of play in general.
