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.
- your team called an objective after every won fight and executed it
- you called at least once and can say why that objective and not another
- your team can retell the game from its objective timeline without mentioning kills
