Following the stats on @LGDgaming's warding efficiency at #TI10, here's a heatmap of all their dewards (1) and sentries placed (2) before 25:00. Favour deep lane wards and spaces in between cliffs or just ward directly in the river. #dota2 #dota2TI

The #dota2TI group stage is over and @LGDgaming is dominating. We've analysed every match they've played and are giving you a peek of what our data shows. Check it out below!

As a bonus here's the jungle pathing of all teams combined in the first minutes, again super similar between all worlds teams. Just very slight changes based on different preference from player to player.

After the #Worlds2020 group stage, we took an in depth look at teams play styles - the macro game is remarkably similar. Check out the mid game movement heatmaps of all teams combined on blue (1) and just @G2esports (2). Found one slightly (over?) aggressive outlier: @TSM (3)

Vertigo is one of the maps I could see the 100t picking. Last time around the struggled for control of the A ramp on the CT and T sides. Here using @shadowanalytics you can see they didn't have a second wave of utility to slow down GenG who basically get control with 2 smokes.

@GrotziDota @NomadCasts @scantzor @BTSGoDz @Noxville @Arthastasia @danieloffen @DOTABUFF @datDota FYI, here are our stats for Visage, this is all high Immortal + pro matches in 7.26. First two images are the best counters to Visage, third shows that Visage actually has a small advantage against Tide.

Was unterscheidet @s1mpleO vom Rest der Welt? Wir haben mit @ShadowAnalytics gearbeitet, um das beantworten zu können.

Due to popular demand: Since 7.23 @Arteezy has spent a total of 5 minutes and 24 seconds on cliffs. This is actually 30% less than the average immortal player on per game basis!

[Shadow @ShadowAnalytics]

@thisisallencook @teamsecret @EvilGeniuses @Arteezy @MATUMBAMAN This is all matches from Leipzig Major looking at mid to late game. We should have clarified in the post!

[Shadow @ShadowAnalytics]

1/2 The most apparent difference between @teamsecret and @EvilGeniuses is how Secret excels at constantly pushing out lanes, alleviating pressure and gaining information.
Compare @Arteezy's and @MATUMBAMAN's farming patterns below and see for yourself. #dota2 #dhdl13

@LSDR1608 @tunglir @SheffieldEsport @NahazDota @LDeeep @teamsecret @EvilGeniuses @Arteezy @MATUMBAMAN Absolutely, just looking at a heatmap is not enough to draw a conclusion. But a heatmap gives you insights in differences in playstyles, like shown here, which you then can further investigate with more specific tools.
