We proceed analysing excessive degree Dota to spotlight some attention-grabbing recent concepts. EEU and SA are two areas the place video games are extremely chaotic and aggressive and it undoubtedly exhibits of their draft and construct preferences. A few of their concepts are a return to classics, whereas some are model new, however all of them needs to be simply usable in your on a regular basis pubs.
The newest buff made this side a default for the SA area, it appears. The quantity of injury Jakiro can deal in trades will increase tremendously with the Liquid Frost side, particularly in case you have a Blood Grenade to repair the enemy place and dish out some additional punishment.
The tradeoff is that Jakiro with this side doesn’t push in any respect. He may also help with the creepwave, possibly, however the absence of Liquid Hearth is certainly noticeable in the course of the early midgame.
In our opinion, it’s a tradeoff price it each time. The tempo of the sport is extremely excessive, particularly in increased tier Dota, and having a powerful laning stage is preferable to having a pushing help. The standard construct is 2-0-2-0 by degree 4, with optionally available additional ranges in Twin Breath in case you are preventing so much. By default, although, degree 5 is once you sometimes need to begin taking Ice Path.
Itemisation-wise, 
Mekansm stays a extremely popular and efficient buy. Alternatively, we’re seeing lots of Eul’s purchases, as it’s a good method to arrange an Ice path, and an unbelievable merchandise in opposition to at the moment dominant 
Ursa and SA-specific 
Spirit Breaker.
Hand of Midas and 
Octarine Core Spirit Breaker isn’t any extra and this patch, at the very least within the SA area, is a return to kind for the hero. Typical Spirit Breaker in SA will get 
Section Boots, 
Shadow Blade and begins roaming the map seeking kills and setups.
It really works so much higher than making an attempt to farm and beef up, as the sport proper now’s all about tempo. Comply with your preliminary couple of things with an Eul’s and also you additionally get a good save for your self or an additional method to arrange a kill for incoming teammates.
The hero can’t be picked each sport, after all. One of many highest win charge heroes on this patch is Darkish Willow and he or she places a cease to the Spirit Breaker’s potential dominance. Whereas the skilled scene has assured bans, in pubs you’ll be able to find yourself with a hero that isn’t as efficient, as he might be in additional structured Dota. Equally, don’t decide Spirit Breaker into Clockwerk.
In most different instances the hero is lots of enjoyable to play, he might be extremely efficient and so long as you talk your intentions together with your teammates, he’ll lead you to victory extra typically that not.
It is a very baffling construct that I personally think about very questionable nonetheless. It is rather a lot meta for prime degree pubs and the skilled scene, nonetheless, so let’s strive to determine why precisely this merchandise changed typical 
Diffusal Blade.
As an alternative of offering an additional burst of injury on Swashbuckle, this merchandise gives Pango with a gradual and a few additional right-click injury for when the hero fights the enemy with out utilizing his talents. Which is kind of uncommon, however it may be helpful occasionally.
It additionally provides Pango some additional HP and mana regen, making the hero a bit tankier, which may be very good. The identical, if not increased ranges of mana regen and further survivability might be achieved with an Eul’s. The latter will also be used as a setup for a second Rolling Thunder stun, making Pango a good hero in opposition to elusive targets.
Lastly, Echo Sabre provides a possible improve into 
Harpoon, which may be very good certainly. It may be used to tug targets nearer to Pango in the course of the Rolling Thunder, permitting for a follow-up stun. It’s a good late sport merchandise for the hero, contemplating his degree 20 expertise and this expertise is probably the explanation why this construct grew to become so widespread.
It’s extra of a grasping, late-game oriented strategy that has some downsides in the course of the early midgame, when Pango is meant to be extremely proactive, however whereas we disagree with it for the very best ranges of the skilled scene, it needs to be excellent in slower-paced pubs.
The regional metas preserve growing in their very own little worlds, however there may be undoubtedly fairly a little bit of an overlap. It’s going to be extremely attention-grabbing to see how the sport progresses over the subsequent couple of months and the way Valve will reply to some questionably balanced heroes.
For now although, we’ll carry on analysing the matches and keeping track of some attention-grabbing concepts and even some hero combos. Inform us if you happen to discover one thing attention-grabbing within the remark part under.
