Guide For Playing Juggernaut

I had only played Juggernaut twice before and both games had not been very successful to say the least, so I decided to pick a pro player to watch use this hero. I then developed a guide based on what they did during their games. The player I have watched for this guide was Loda from Alliance. With one of the best win rates using this hero in the competitive scene who better to watch.  I took his builds and then changed them slightly depending on what happened to me in public games, as we all know public matches and pro games can be very very different. Obviously this guide is only a guide and in public matches you may need to change what you do according to how the game is going.

Below you can see the complete build in screenshots, but to use it in games or leave feedback please visit our guide at the following address: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=182445030

Star Ladder VII – All 3 Stages of The Rubick Resonant Vibrance Set

Every year the Star Ladder tournament for Dota 2 comes with a new item that can be upgraded by watching the tournament through the Dota 2 client. Two years ago the free item was a ‘Grill Hound Courier‘, last year it was a ‘Star Ladder HUD’, and this year it is of course the ‘Rubick Resonant Vibrance Set‘. When you purchase the set you will also get a ticket to watch all 120 games on the Dota 2 client, if you purchase the ticket you will need to get your hands on the set by trading or steam community market.

This years star ladder is the first major tournament since The International 2013 ended, and also includes both Alliance and Na’Vi (The finalists from The International 2013). This tournament ends at a LAN final in Kiev where we could once again see Na’Vi Vs. Alliance, which is something that you will not want to miss.

New Dota2 Courier – Waldi the Faithful (Legendary)

This is the latest (and only) courier to be added to Dota2 during the latest update. Waldi the Faithful is a very funny courier and is one of the most original couriers to appear on Dota2 yet. While Waldi the Faithful is without his wings he will chase after a sausage on a stick dangling in-front of his face, but as soon as he is upgraded into a flying courier the sausage he was once chasing becomes a blimp for the dog carrying him to his destination.
