Week 10 Lobby Lab: Call the objective

A custom match where somebody must call the next objective aloud after every won fight, then the game is retold without mentioning kills

13 May 2027

What to bring

Nothing.

How it runs

Five-person teams, one custom match. The rule: after winning a fight, somebody must call the next objective out loud before the team moves. A wrong call is still executed — arguing about it afterwards is cheaper than standing still.

Afterwards, reconstruct the game from its objective timeline alone: buildings and Roshan, no kills. A game that cannot be retold that way is usually a game that was won and not converted.

Note that in 7.41f Roshan’s pit preference moved to the top pit and Tormentor moved to the bottom chasm, so what counts as the available next objective is not what an older guide will tell you.

How you know it went well

Your team has a timeline with no kills in it, and it still describes the game.

The spec

What the tutor is checking for by the end of the session — not that you understood the drill, but that you did it, in a form somebody else in the room could confirm.
