How to win the Greeviling

It's been a couple days that I've played the Greeviling in Dota 2, and I've learned a little bit about how the game works. In the Greeviling, the objective is to land the killing blow on 11 greevil camps before the other team does. In the first few rounds of greevils, the camps only have 1 big greevil to kill. However, towards the end, the camps start filling with up to 2 big greevils and 2 little greevils. It's important to remember that all of the greevils count, so you only get credit for the last greevil killing blow, regardless of whether it is a small or big greevil. So be careful about the enemy sweeping in at the last moment, or using long range abilities to steal kills that you did all the damage on.

Another important part of the Greeviling is hero selection. In the Greeviling, items are only granted at random, so there is no way for you to pick which items you want or go shopping. Instead, you have to hope to get items that will be useful to your particular hero of choice. As a result, the safest hero picks are the ones that are not very item dependent. I like to pick heroes with abilities that scale well in damage since items won't affect how useful they are. Stuns and disables, like always, are also very good reasons to select certain heroes. An interesting part of the greeviling, is how you get to select which greevil you want to use in addition to choosing your hero. It's significantly more effort to have all the best greevils available, but I've found my greevil selections to make hero selection less important. Since you can switch to your greevil as often as you want, you should ideally pick a greevil with a stun or disable of some kind. Luckily, most greevils seem to come that way.
