Alimzhan "Watson" Islambekov, a member of the Gaimin Gladiators Dota 2 roster, shared his tips for effective farming in MOBA games during a personal Twitch stream. He discussed gold farming strategies, particularly for carry players.
"If you’re playing a carry that can farm stacks quickly, like Alchemist, Dragon Knight, or Shadow Fiend, you can stack the medium camp near the tower. Stack when you have mana available and it’s not urgently needed on the lane, then farm it up. By the tenth minute, you’ll have 4k gold, even if you're not hitting many creeps on the lane.
Always keep an eye on the map. Prioritize the creep wave. You’re hitting the ancients, and you see that your creep wave is pushing under the tower. It’s better to go push that wave, then return to the ancients. And always farm in enemy zones—like the enemy jungle or their "three" camp. This creates map pressure."
These recommendations have become popular among players looking to improve their farming skills and map control, with Watson highlighting the importance of making the most of every moment both on the lane and across the map.
Meanwhile, Gaimin Gladiators' mid-laner Quinn "quinn" Callahan continues to impress the community with his outstanding results on Invoker. According to Dota2ProTracker statistics, Quinn boasts an 83.33% win rate with the hero in matchmaking. Out of his last six games on Invoker, he won five, which is an incredible achievement, given the hero’s complexity.
Quinn’s primary item build focuses on Witch Blade, Dragon Lance, and Hurricane Pike, further showcasing his high-level preparation and strategy. It would not be surprising if Quinn chose Invoker again in upcoming tournaments, knowing how effectively he can play the hero.
