Awareness.

What did Jesus Christ say,
when he was taken by roman guards?
"Where's the miss, assholes?"

If this anecdote is true, then I can say one thing about Jesus' style of play.
He was not aware in his game. Aware that the guards in fact can seize him, later judge and crucify and stuff, but that is not that important. What is important - he could escape, just taking a few necessary steps!

Let's imagine a quite ordinary pub DotA game.
You picked viper, an early to midgame hero, go to farm in center, and you suddenly get ganged by a centaur, and when he has successfully stunned you, the traxex finishes you. Would you scream "WHERE'S THE F'IN MISS", and, well, sucked hard for the rest of the game?

Or would you think, how could you not died?

You could! Let's imagine that you noticed the red circle moving away, or disappearing from a lane at your minimap. You could've at least gotten some wards in the beginning, if you weren't sure about your awareness. The choices are endless, but you died. 

If an enemy you've never seen in the entire game, even more, an enemy that is weaker than you, and you could in fact kill him, suddenly appears and attacks you from the back, what would you think? Since I listen to Judas Priest, I have a pretty good idea about this. "You've Got Another Thing Comin'".

It's the awareness of the possibilities to at avoid losing, or at least dying 3-4 times in likewise situations.
