What is covered, week by week, and which topics each lecture draws on.
One decision per week, for twelve weeks. The order is the order in which a player learns to decide, which is not the order Valve’s in-game tutorial teaches and not the order the game itself presents — teamfights are the most visible thing in Dota and they are the second-to-last thing here.

The shape of a match — three lanes, one building that matters, and a win condition that is not the one you assume
Week 1 · 22 February 2027
Should I hit this creep?
Last-hitting, denying and the two kinds of aggro — the first decision small enough to practise on your own
Week 2 · 1 March 2027
Where is the lane, and where do I stand?
Creep equilibrium, pushing against holding, and why the ground you fight on is something somebody chose

When should I leave the lane?
Pulling, blocking, stacking and the courier — the first week whose honest answer is that it depends

Who should I pick?
Strength, agility, intelligence and universal — not flavour categories but exchange rates for everything you earn

Week 6 · 29 March 2027
What do I buy?
The shop, recipes and the logic of a build — and why following someone else's is the right way to start
Week 7 · 19 April 2027
When should I not engage?
Stuns, dispels, spell immunity and evasion — the mechanics that decide a fight before anybody presses a button
Week 8 · 26 April 2027
Where did he go?
Wards, fog and detection — the one resource you spend on so that a decision you have not made yet will be better
Week 9 · 3 May 2027
Towers or heroes?
Buildings, Roshan and the map — how a lead stops being a lead and starts being a win
Week 10 · 10 May 2027
Who goes first?
Initiation, buyback, high ground and a drafting primer — the week the course finally lets you have a teamfight
Week 11 · 17 May 2027
