Umm, I remember the arteezy ee mid 1v1 matchup video they did (basically an hour long stream) helped me quite a bit, even though theres still so much I couldn't pick up consistently from the video.
Its down from twitch but I think you can find it on youtube.

check blitz channel,he might focus only on storm, but you get a good idea of what to do
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
+1 for creep tricks and blitz channel.
once you learn and use all the mechanics only decision-making is what makes the difference.
my biggest advice is being aggro:

melee mids are pretty hard to play. the thing is that you gotta keep lane on your upperground, so the enemy doesnt harass you, but this requires creep pulling skills, as he will pull them too. if he comes on your upperground, just rekt him with flame guard. and dont use chains with creeps nearby.
i suck at this, but when mid is hard i just try to farm anything i can, get rune control and gang. es's flame guard makes some nice dmg, and you might get a kill or two on a pushed enemy lane.
@Yorkey
10% inspiration 90% execution? is that what you meant Yorkey? or have you been watching too many ISIS/Mexican videos?
^i always though normal people dont watch that kind of vids. feels good knowing im not the only mentally ill guy that enjoys them.
@Creature of the night
Yorkey was referencing one of Tinker's responses after you nuke the shit out of your enemy.

Hello Dotabuff forums, recently, out of the TI5 hype, I've decided to once again use Ember Spirit in my pubs. He looks just so good every stage, being able to nuke at people early on with magical damage, and still prove its own right as a carry with an well-designed physical nuke. However, his laning stage sucks shit, especially at the midlane where I usually pit him against cancerous heroes like Queen of Pain, Lina, Storm Spirit etc. His armor is quite low for an Agi carry, and HP pool doesnt help much either.
But just seeing Sumail winning Ember against strong counter-matchups like Razor and Lina during TI5 leaves me completely in awe. Is it just complete talent or are their actually general guidelines that I should learn by heart?
