i remember my first dota experience, was told to farm and not to die.....
my first ever hero dragon knight, i farm farm reach base ask my friend what to buy i got around 2k
he ask me to buy boots and orge axe, i did it

i go out farm farm farm farm farm, wasnt involved in any fight at all..see any enemy = run
went back fountain with another 3k
i asked him what to buy, he told me more orge axe...soon enough i realize my 6 slots has 1 boots and 5 orge axe

then my bro friend told me: do you feel strong now?
come to think of it i kena troll by my bro frens

then as i cont to farm got another 2k+ i dunno what to buy as my slot full already
then my friend ask me to buy ultimate orb for him, yeh i pumped his hero
as it was version 5 back then.

after that day the rest was history, got pretty good in v5 dota
met a lot of dota guru's back then where we all play at flying spaghetti monster
i became sifuu to many of my friends, influencing all my new college friends to start dota
damn that feeling was awesomely priceless

and then poof in a blink of an eye its version 6.xx now
so many changes, i fee like an ah pek now
