Best free guide/tutorial for getting good at dota?

[Pliskin]

Alot of the guides that claim to help me get good at the game are paywalled and i'm not gonna pay for a youtube playlist, is there a better alternative channel i should watch for learning how to get good at the game?

I like henry
he also offers expensive as hell coaching but he know's what he's talking about
you can watch his 2 youtube channels for info specially on laning phase and mid/carry play

Do the community created tutorial after doing the ingame tutorial. Its the learn tab at the top. You also get free loot.

Go into dota tutorial, find the last map there made by community. After finishing this map you will get extensive amount of resources provided to you - groups discords YouTube channels and so on.

I recommend you bananaslammajamma and purge channels on YouTube but remember that you can't trust everything they say, in dota everything is situational and some content meaning is expiring with new parhes that changes the game.

you will learn from scratch
dont want Youtube they create video for money they're suck

Two big problems with that thought process.

1. In pro matches, they're playing with a coordinated team rather than randos. Even Top 100 Immortal pubs don't come anywhere close to the intensity of actual pro matches. Meanwhile, creators play in a situation that's more like what the average player does, just with a higher level of skill.

2. Pros in tournaments aren't explaining WHY they're doing what they do. Just blindly copying pros doesn't help if you don't have the knowledge behind it. Meanwhile, creators ARE commenting what they're doing, that's their entire job.

This guy is correct. Outside of micro moments pro matches are completely useless and even harmfull for new players because in pro teams every player is just a part of full team strategy and in pub you are individual players who coordinate live.
