^
in the game, his team was complaining about how bad he was, he stayed mid 33 min of the game without ganking other lanes or even rune controling, our ta raped him mid and was actively ganking and getting runes, he was like " templar is suppose to own invoker " LOL, such a fail invoker
lol such a fail invoker... invoker is supposed to rape RAPE ta like np by min 3 and the rest of the game
1º Whats your name,age,and country?
Kyle Fong, 30, USA
2º Do you study or work somewhere at moment?
Quit my job, now studying last two years of college.
gaming career didnt work out? ;d
nope.
13º are you going to be in competitive scene?
I have practiced with a couple of very good teams, but I find other heroes very boring.
Grimorum is fking overrated, the only reason people even think he's good is because of his Youtube highlight reels, dude can't even keep a consistent win rate
at least 1 person has some sense ^
sounds like alot of people are jealous of how grimmorum gets a bit of fame for his invoker we should be encouraging people like him instead of flaming. hes a decent dude who enjoys to play invoker and has given many tips that he has learnt over the time spent with the hero
Well we don't hear any more about how Grimorum must maphack or must use macros or other cheats...since everyone knows that's impossible now in dota 2. Now its the magic of "alternate accounts" ....wha?
Any time Grimorum is mentioned the same envious wannabes trolls feel they must vent their frustration that they cannot compare to his skill and popularity. They have enough punishment choking back the bile and grinding their teeth as they hate that everyone knows Grimorum is better than them...they can't even hide their jealousy enough to just keep their mouths shut.
i don't even know who that guy is, but whatever reason he has to use alternate accounts can't be good
i looked through a few of his matches, and while he indeed still plays with people who have a lot of games on the other team, there's always someone on the other team who is close on played games or even anonymous and bad at this game
so I understand that you hope to malign grimorum because of jealousy...I understand that this might cause you to lie and claim he uses "multiple accounts" whatever you think that means.
But I don't understand what you think using multiple accounts is and why you think it explains how grimorum being amazing at invoker rather than his nearly 6k games of practice on the hero (mostly in dota 1). Maybe its just your poor understanding of English and you don't know the right words to say in your slandaring attempt?
man, you are like a fucking copy pasta generator
making a new account results in you being matched with other new accounts, and since not every new account is actually an old dota player with several thousand played games, it results in easy achieving of super stats and easy wins
...so none of that works at all and everyone knows it, um, other ideas?
Wait I get it. You saw that tons of people like to call themselves grimorum and think those are some kind of smurf accounts?
there are two accounts that are linked in this very thread, and i saw someone complaining about him using smurfs on this forum, don't remember where though
I'm sorry were tricked by the forum trolls. Grimorum does not use smurf accounts. And even if he did, they don't help you to play more than a game or two against weak players. You would have to make a new account every 5 games at least to make it do anything.
What really happens if you make a new account as a Very High player is that in about 5 games you are rated Very High again from starting in Normal.
Smurfing is a tactic that worked very well in dota 1 and does almost nothing in dota 2.

fucking stronk russian wa...
i just read what you have wrote.
Im feeling so sorry for you.
You are acting like a stupid teenager.
Do you know what even smurf account is?
If you dont have OWN eperiences what smurf account is or WHAT DOTA 2 is, go to die in you stupid of shit.
Why I hate so much people like you?
They just believe anything to what they saw what they read or what they heared?
Pls dont write any stupidities anymore , got it u brainless whore?
lol he doesn't use smurf? I played against his smurf a while back, u want me to link it to you? buddy please
Since I know he does not have one... I know you are a sucker and were fooled or you are a liar "greatest of all time".
You are not the greatest Invoker (or anything) of all time. I know that hurts, but you will just have to face reality some day. It will happen when you die if not sooner.
I posted the following 19 days ago; it might end these arguments:
Invoker's Raging Fury 4: 46409699, 43996191, 44383634, 47833518, 48181547, 56245360, 48647414
WoDota Top Ten Vol 5
17986335
DotaCinema Hall of Fame Episode 50
32480171
Everyone one of those scenes were from my first account (Diamond level, 99th percentile, 2250 DBR). KDA and win rate is low on my first account because I always fool around with refresher orb and do not care about counter picks.
I have unbelievable win rate and kda with invoker on this permanent account because I was super tryhard for 102 games with invoker. However, I found it supremely stressful like work so I gave up. Regarding alt accts, it was experimental. I don't use other accts anymore.
True not one but a few
for example check 0;57 in raging fury 5
link to that match

link to alt he used in that game
http://dotabuff.com/players/115566944
Record
69 - 54
Win Rate
56.10%
So, that's what this is about? They think you were playing against easy opponents in Very High games? Or that 100+ games is a smurf?
I don't believe these guys have any idea what a smurf is. They are just angry that they are not given attention.
Or are you just upset that his winrate and KDA are so high? I really don't see why you care about your stats being lower than Grimorums.
He is not better because he has better stats. People like to watch his videos, like to watch him play because they can see just by looking at it that its amazing. They don't go check his dotabuff stats to see if what they are seeing is good. That's absurd.
Very few of the millions of fans who have watched Raging Fury videos have any idea what kind of stats anyone has, neither do they care.
===================
Besides all that I want to make it very clear to new players who do not understand the matching system Valve has. It does not work anything like dota 1. You can't have a "smurf" account that lets the best players stomp on newbies. Its just not possible anymore. In just a few games you will already be playing tough opponents if you are really that good.
valves match maker is garbage + gimorum has like 10+ accounts with 100games each so how should we refer to them? temporary main accounts? L O L
also
only bad retards call him bad invoker + one exception -> Vaikiss
...well this is pointless even I don't enjoy arguing semantics.
"Very few of the millions of fans who have watched Raging Fury videos have any idea what kind of stats anyone has, neither do they care."
exactly how i found out about him wanted to learn what i think is the hardest hero in dota invoker searched on youtube found his videos and have been better off ever since he even decided to add me a nobody from new zealand. im still a pretty trash invoker but its people like him who will move the community forward into better understandings of heros
Kda of more than 10? Even godly invoker players like 430,iceiceice dont have that.Plus many of his games are kda of like 20. Very sure the opponent ain't good

Grimorum is popularized by his youtube video series: Invoker's Raging Fury 1-4 as you can see here:

Also his dotabuff profile:

First of all, thank you for this interview,let's start then.
1º Whats your name,age,and country?
Kyle Fong, 30, USA
2º Do you study or work somewhere at moment?
Quit my job, now studying last two years of college.
3º Why Grimorum? tell us a little bit about of your nickname!
Watched Gargoyles tv show around 10 years old and loved the way grimorum sounds,grimorum is a book of spells!
4º How did you start at dota? first impressions and stuff?
My friend recommended dota to me,I remember dota in reign of chaos, back then, a bot would ask game related questions, fail to answer, and you get kicked out lol
i remember my favorite hero was lich summon 15 skellies and block ramp then charge with 4 creep waves
5º Do you remember your first hero?
I think it was morph, I liked his clone ability, if i remember correctly, that clone was not an ultimate, he can clone himself
6º Why invoker? how was your reaction about a hero with so many skills?
I had actually quit dota after a year, I immediately played dota again when I found out about invoker,that hero is so refreshing and have so many combos,I get an adrenaline rush late game with invoker
7º how did you deal with the transition of dota 1 to dota 2?
It was terrible! Invoker was not released yet and I could not differentiate which hero is who,I kept mistaking lich with someone else, after couple of weeks, I think it is much better
8º What do you think about macros? do you think is somewhat of a disrespect?
I disapprove the use of macros,it takes the fun out of the game and is cheating
9º What is your preferred build?
currently, exort is almost mandatory. invoker really needs that extra dps for last hits because ranged heroes suffer tremendously from denies,
i only rush quas if I know for sure I can destroy middle, but bottle/crow completely counters quas lane invoker,
so currently, 4-1-4 is preferred in 95% of games. Basicly this is the 'universal build'.
10º whats your favorite combos?
favorite and efficient is a little different,but you ask me for favorite, I would say, nado/meteor/blast/snap/wall/refresh/snap/wall/meteor/blast/nado/SS/alacrity
11º And the EUL's + Sunstrike + Meteor + Blast combo, do you think you were the first doing it?
I believe so,When SS received a huge buff, that was the first thing came to my mind.I practiced it the first day SS was buffed,
I remember seeing someone calling it "grimorum's combo" in someone's invoker guide
12º Do you think you were the first doing any other combos? tell us which one!
i might be the first to do, nado/meteor/blast/wall/snap/eul/SS/emp
13º are you going to be in competitive scene?
I have practiced with a couple of very good teams, but I find other heroes very boring.
None of them give me the adrenaline rush like invoker.so No, I will probably never go competitive.
14ºDo you watch competitive games? Which invoker do you think is the best in the competitive scenario?
I have watched maybe 8 invokers in competitive scene, Among Ferrari, Dendi, Iceiceice, tofu, bu....., and several I forgot their names
I'd say Ferrari would be my choice.
15º What about invoker nerf? hes getting more and more nerfed, whats your opinion about it?
Hate it so much. According to Dota Academy, invoker was only picked 8 times and banned once in the last 567 games,
invoker requires too much resources and is too frail early game.
16º What about the invoker raging fury 5? when it will comes out?
Helical has been working on it since April. This one is the best eye candy of the series, I really hope it surpasses part 3 with a million views.
I believe late June or July.
17º Do you think about doing livestreams?
my computer is too old to handle that stuff, i play on 800/600 resolution, with everything turned off, and render settings at 50%,
even with that super low settings, i might have bad lags whenever there are too many things going on
18º do you have any hobbies besides dota?
not since my school started. I failed high school horribly, I cannot let myself fail again in college
Thank you very much and lets end this great interview with your shoutouts
I'd like to thank all my fans for their support and defending me in public forums. To my friends, thank you for believing in my invoker and supporting me throughout.
Also grimorum wrote a guide for dota2magazine the pubblication will be approximately second week of june, stay tuned!
Note: new update makes quas/wex much more viable. Invoker is better add harassing since bottle/crow nerf. Moreover, tornado received damage buff. Buff on ghost walk may allow invoker to scout in daytime
