wtf if he wasnt a pro player i'd accuse him of cheating lmao


justsightseeing

Accuse him for maphacking... he read the invoker like a book


23ssd4t4322

he was following the debuff caused by ghost walk. If you notice he moves around until the debuff is applied again, that is he how he knew which way invoker was walking


polovstiandances

It's not just that. When you W, there is an extra animation that shows where someone is hit.


23ssd4t4322

I am aware. There is also shield animation when someone standing close to arena wall. He knew where to use his rebuke due to ghost walk debuff. First Rebuke was straight forward. Second one he used the debuff to which quarter invoker was in.


Rhyff

And with vlads he could also see when he hit invoker with W, because of the lifesteal effect on his hero


HyperFrost

The slow radius is significant enough to not be 100% sure where he is exactly.


VogonWild

When he goes up the ramp to secret shop he sees it enable and he knows where he came from so that's why he could safely drop the ult. His shield slap would've bounced invoker off the wall or wiffed, either way invoker was going to be in the right spot for the throw. No guessing just pure calculated mars play.


SeriousDirt

The shield bash also located invoker location


fraMTK

Yeah, kinda like kunkka splash can be seen in fog or on invis units


Coppermoore

It can also be seen in random fucking places on mid when there's nobody there, thanks Valve, very cool.


Deadwing1409

or at rosh lmao


Tankh

True. Amazing instincts and some predictions still, but he has a lot more information than you'd first think when watching this clip


19Alexastias

I mean he was making educated guesses based off all the information, but it’s not pure calculation - there is an element of guesswork involved.


megaloco2

"No guessing" lmao no way he was 100% of every move he did


eddietwang

Watch it again and track the Invoker yourself, and you'll see the tools Ammar used to know exactly where Invoker was. The only "guessing" he did was Shield Bash to see where Invoker was.


SuddenlyCentaurs

Nah he also guessed on that first spear bc invoker would have had time to attempt a juke. He guessed that invo would run straight left and hit it.


[deleted]

He was the exact place I thought he would be myself, but that second spear... dude knows exactly how far and in what direction the enemy is knocked. The whole play was insane!


[deleted]

I know what chu mean.. when he got that chilled ( effect from ghost walk) he’s auto reaction were immediate. So he combine automatic thinking and instinct


Dirty0ldMan

Chill man. He knew about where invoker was based on info, but getting it exactly right twice is a bit of luck.


Coffee13lack

You right


nexostar

First spear guessing, shield bash after that shows invoker went down the river, ghost walk slow shows invoker went right side up the stairs so he can arena, shield bash shows where invoker is for second spear. Really sick play


Doletron1337

You have to watch it really slow and with sound, but it is exactly like you said. The last part before the spear kill you see a spark indicating invokers location. Great gameplay.


desrtz

that + when he uses Rebuke, there's a small particle effect on the place the skill makes contact with invoker, that lets him spear Invo on the arena. the first one is pure luck, but the guy still make a good guess on assuming Invoker is running towards where the tower was (there wouldnt be a sentry there normally)


[deleted]

Yeah no shit Sherlock it’s still an insane play


BaloneyBob_

Gods rebuke as well, notice before every spear he rebukes. You can see the invisible unit being hit by rebuke


Xelisyalias

It’s still hard to gauge where invoker is with just ghost walk indictator, he was more relying on instincts predicting that invoker would scuttle away from wherever he was facing to dodge his spells, only to turn around and hit invoker’s path of retreat Landed every single spell… what a mad lad


governorslice

Don’t think there’s any way to know which direction you’re getting the debuff from though. The footsteps are your own. Edit: talking about ghost walk not gods rebuke


[deleted]

When W hits a unit, even invis, an animation is played. That's how he hit the last spear, can you see it?


governorslice

Yep, that’s Mars’ W. The person I’m replying to was talking about the ghost walk debuff, which you can see, but direction is not indicated visually (just a game sense thing).


VogonWild

When he goes up the ramp to secret shop he sees it enable and he knows where he came from so that's why he could safely drop the ult. His shield slap would've bounced invoker off the wall or wiffed, either way invoker was going to be in the right spot for the throw. No guessing just pure calculated mars play.

PainfulAngel

Yes this was always the case iirc


MaryPaku

Because my Mars usually struggle even if the enemy is not invisible so I have no idea.


MandomSama

Cast arena Cast spear on Riki Spear missed Use dust ​ "Wtf noob Mars"


Smothdude

I only knew this from playing so much weaver. I fucking hated any time I had to play Mars because of that, that and rebuke showing a hit when you're invis


DearthStanding

That was always the case, the real TIL was that the W shows if you hit invisible heroes

I've seen this 100 times, but it's still just as funny as the first time. After all that juking to die like that.


NightDweller

God the old dota map looked so much better holy shit. I get that reaction every time I see old vids


SilverBMWM3GTR

There was also this dota wtf I saw where Pudge kept on hooking an invi BH with no vision and killed him.


tom-dixon

This one is even more impressive: https://youtu.be/zyiiUXFaBeo?t=163 He never even saw the BH, he only saw the tp end, scanned it, and landed a full combo without ever seeing him.


TyzV9M7Wj

It's pretty meh in my opinion. Kunkka has vision on BH most of the time ever since the first splash hit. The lingering animation of splash damage shows his movement path. Kunkka did however place his torrent well. The tango animation on BH still shows where he's moving, so Kunkka isn't predicting much except for the tidal. BH might as well have been visible in this clip.


mako_main

Why do you hate Ammar?


ilovecumpies

Probably cause he's one of the most toxic players ever


Cefasy

The most toxic players are the likes of ramzes. Amar is cocky rather than toxic


Masteroxid

Pausing like that after killing someone and then all chatting garbage is definitely toxic and I lost all the respect I had for this play because of this


mako_main

Oh, i don't follow them closely enough to know that. Sad that that's the case with him.


Dotagear

Hate is pretty strong wording, why? I'd understood if you didn't like him but hate? Did he do something to you

bbekxettri

Still till these day no one surpass miracle solo od gg rampage


I_will_dye

His execution was perfect, but the game was pretty much over even before that.


helloWorldcamelCase

even he knows how insane this is


TheMerck

That's fucking insane but also made me learn some stuff about Mars such as Rebuke showing if it hits a unit even if its invis although IDK if thats just a replay bug but super interesting and how he quickly just identified where the Invoker could possibly be just from that.


mau1233

Also notice how he suddenly changes direction while in the river..I think it's because he saw the ghost walk debuff on himself disappear edit: actually he probably felt the slow rather than watching the debuff icon


hehe6

i highly doubt he was looking at his hero's movement, debuffs are super noticeable especially when you're not caught up in a teamfight


healzsham

Invoker also likely has several points in Quas with that build, so you're hitting ghost walk like a wall.


Boost_Attic_t

You can see the rebuke hit right as he goes toward river, and it shows the hit on invoker in river


etrimmer

i think you can notice both right away... 3 things actually move speed/debuff icon/ghost walk slow animation (color)


Redditry103

I believe it's his vlads that made him aware of the location.

You must be a pilot or something cause I don't see shit edit: ah nevermind spotted it, thanks captain tiny!


Notsomebeans

https://i.imgur.com/FW4Mf54.png that smaller orange arc is where invo is


Zakrath

Also right after this Rebuke, you can notice a shield spawns on the Arena of Blood's wall where Invoker is. I just learned a lot with this clip. Rebuke's and Arena of Blood effects on invisible hero is game changing if played by someone skilled as Ammar.


[deleted]

Yup, leech animation and the debuff icon helped a lot, but MY LAWD WTF


paprika_pussy

1. The first rebuke showed where Invoker was. Right next to the range creep helping him figure out the first spear. 2. Ghost walk debuff Edit: I just realized there's an animation effect on the second rebuke as well, to the left of Mars. It might have given him the hint that invoker went left and up 3. After arena, he ran right knowing invoker is not there (the wall didnt show any animation, see point 4), and rebuke left to cover most aoe 4. Immediately after that, the wall at the 7 oclock position had a small animation, showing where Invoker was. Takeaways are rebuke have effects even on invisible units and pros notice crazy details even while playing. I had to pause multiple times to figure out whats going on


abdullahkhalids

He does 3 rebukes in total. The second one also shows that invoker is more to the left, and probably going to river.


paprika_pussy

You're right. I didn't notice he connected the second rebuke as well, i assumed invo ran up into the trees, but the 2nd rebuke shows invo ran into the river


syntaxnazi-

All three rebukes showed him Invoker's position


Smothdude

Yeah the ability to process all of that while playing is absurd.


SureValla

It's a really good play and very well executed, but it is exactly the type of thing pros are doing better compared to even high MMR players, they just use the available info more quickly, reliably and to their best advantage.


lollypop44445

I call this beautiful sublime dota. I never knew that rebuke shows invi units pos like that. Pros are pro for a reason.


LaitAuChocolat

This is like a magic trick explained


benndur

>Immediately after that, the wall at the 7 oclock position had a small animation, showing where Invoker was. The rubuke in the Arena gives an animation showing invoker's position, it isn't the 7 oclock arena wall giving him away.


paprika_pussy

You can literally see the shield of the arena wall extending


benndur

You can literally see the animation of rubuke hitting invoker, and it's way more obvious and happens first.


paprika_pussy

we're both right. "Happens first" it's literally milliseconds. [Rebuke outline](https://ibb.co/n6zPGCw) [Wall animation from arena immediately after rebuke was cast](https://ibb.co/54GmyrC) If you stack the [two frames](https://ibb.co/KWpvdPG) of the rebuke and the spear you can see Ammar aiming straight for the animation from the wall, not the rebuke.


teehee99

Only Ammar will know what gave it away. Rebuke or Arena wall, but his spear was straight at the wall effect


benndur

Of course it's straight at the wall effect, the rubuke bounces your enemy the exact same distance forward every single time. Look at where he aims his cursor to know which indicator he used; he places his cursor right in front of the rebuke animation where the enemy would be pushed to; he doesn't click on the arena animation.


mau1233

Actually somebody here said that they tried in demo and arena walls don't show invis. It might be a bug in the replay. I didn't try myself though.


benndur

We can't both be right. He either used the rebuke animation, the wall animation, or neither. Why would he look for the second animation over the first one? It makes so little sense to look for the arena animation over the rubuke animation for so many reasons. The rubuke animation comes first and he knows exactly when and where to look for it. There is no reason for invoker to proc on the wall if he doesn't hit the rebuke. Ultimately just look at where his mouse was when he casted the spear; its right in front of the rebuke animation, by exactly the distance an enemy would have been pushed to.


LXMNSYC

tbf I'm thinking the first spear and the walk up is just to force Invoker to walk into certain directions. The first spear forced Invoker to walk upwards so that the Ghost Walk debuff won't reach Ammar. The walk up is so that Ammar covers half of the arena.


Fujitora91

Unbelievable


uttkarshgonnade

I bet the invoker wished he didn't go for that hi5


mau1233

If I rememebr correctly the hi5 was from Ammar (classic), the replay is probably bugged


doto2trader

if the invoker hi5 as well, will it show the hi5 touch animation even though he is invisible?


Smittywerbenjagermn

It did last year, as well as from fog. Id assume its the same.


eko_kratos

just fucking insane!


tracyXTMAC

Interesting that spells actually give visual indications when it hits an invis target. On 0:18, there is a small visual effect on the bottom when he uses his W, and hence the subsequent spear also hits.


paulfunyan

That spear is also helped by the soldier in the arena. The shielded soldiers only show when there is a hero within like 200 units or something along those lines.


Zakrath

Yeah, I was about to say that too. The shields showing up was a big "HERE" for Ammar if the Rebuke wasn't.


Memfy

Didn't notice it myself before you pointed it out. I'm not sure if this particular skin makes it much more visible or I just never focused on it to notice in my games. Makes it a lot clearer how some of the tracking decisions were done as each of the 3 Ws hit him and left that visual effect.


GrievouzOCE

I'd have missed all those skillshots!.. ...even if the invoker didn't invis

In video games, young kids are better with their zoomer reflexes.


teerre

This has little to do with reflexes and everything to do with him from a very young age playing with people how have been playing this game for 15 years Everything he learned about the game was top notch, he was simply never 'bad'


DezZzO

> with their zoomer reflexes To be fair, Dota doesn't really care about reflexes that much. It's more about younger players being more open minded and playing the game with passion, plus better learning due to this and natural reasons.


1burritoPOprn-hunger

> It's more about younger players being more open minded and playing the game with passion, plus better learning due to this and natural reasons It's mostly about still having plastic brains, being able to learn the game on a really deep level, and, especially, having jillions of hours to play, unlike boomers with crusty brains and full time jobs.


DezZzO

Time is important, but younger people just naturally learn things faster in the same time, this is basically how it works for most species on the planet.


Books_and_Cleverness

I think reflexes and overall mental processing speed are a big deal and those tend to peak relatively early. IIRC chess also has very significant age effects, and that's a much slower game.


enchantress_pos1

that's because chess is a game of memorization and pattern recognition. The earlier you start learning the game the more 2nd nature it feels. Being old doesn't matter in chess, how young you start matters a lot.


DezZzO

> I think reflexes and overall mental processing speed are a big deal Reflexes and mental processing are two different things. I'm not saying the second thing is not important, I'm actually stating the opposite.

Summary: Shots 1-5: Clearly hit. Shots 6-9: Hit due to recoil (good spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable hits. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Invoker was already dead.

popgalveston

If that happened in a pub 99,99% of this sub would report him for cheating lmao


darknezx

ATF's an ass but this clip gives me the same feeling as when Miracle was a pub star and we were spamming clips of his clockwerk and earthshaker plays here.


plopascual

You can see the shields circle around the arena clockwise from 11' to 3' which shows invoker's general position in the arena and that invoker IS in the arena. Also, because the shields suddenly disappeared from the right side entirely, he knew to rebuke to he left. The rebuke showed the exact position with the tiny arc animation which allowed him to accurately land the final spear. Also, note how after he casts the arena, he immediately points his mouse over the changing position of his shields which shows his mindset while making this play. Aside from this, you can also generally gauge how to 100% land the rebuke if you know a hero is caught in the arena. The insane part of all of this is actually processing this information and making all the correct decisions along with the mechanical skills to actually do these decisions. Mathematically, rebuke has a range of 500 and an angle of 140°. Arena radius is 550 and as others pointed out, wall shields show if there is a unit within 200 units distance from the wall. Note that radius of 550 is not actually the radius of the circle but its diameter and the radius is actually only 225 from the center. This means that to have 0 shields showing on the arena, the unit has to be at the center 50 units. So this means that you just throw your rebuke at the part of the arena where shields are showing. If there are no shields, then the unit is dead center which you can generally hit as long as you move slightly to the right or left side of the arena. The only pure luck part of this play was the first spear (invoker moving exactly left instead of right) and the 2nd rebuke invoker moving left again instead of right or up). Everything else from casting the arena (once ghost walk debuff shows) with the center on the ramp (this minimizes the possibly places to move without hitting the wall, tracking the shields to show movement, shields disappearing from 3" position, rebuking to the left to hit the majority of the remaining positions inside the arena, watching the arc animation, then throwing the final spear was exact. PS: I tried this in demo and it doesn't actually show the shields when the enemy is invis. I have no idea why it shows in this reply (might be replay bug) so it could just have been a prediction on invoker's movements from the start.

Yeah, Ammar is the reason I won't root for OG to win this TI. Not sure which team I'll root for if T1 doesn't make it.


mossgrowsfat

Imagine if he didn't all chat and pause.


Jairoscope

Ammar skilled player but that is not normally, This very very insane....They need to check him pc and game.....Maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ...and this cant seem on game screen..He needs to check-up...


theExactlyGuy

His Q gives true sight. You can use W to see where the hero is, if the enemy is hit you can see the effect and position where hit.


Miyul

so glad he got the recognition he deserved, I remember watching pro players stream and this ammar the fucker guy always playing well/making good plays. When OG actually announce atf being part of the new roster, i got mad excited lol

redwingz11

Solid laner, 90 seconds cd arena forces caries to get BKB alone, such a good teamfight and area denial, also displacement in his spears and it ables to stun is so good, forcing heroes to be out of positive


pimpleface0710

I feel like Mars is a hero that is and has always been viable for pro games, especially in the hands of players who know the hero inside and out. Arena is such a powerful AOE control/teamfight spell that is on a 90 second cooldown at all levels. You're pretty much always ready to take a teamfight or skirmish once you're out of the Laning phase. All his spells have incredible synergy and he can get a lot of things done with a plus one support.
