Sven the Rogueknight

Early Game:

Ok. Sven isn't good at early game. And he's quite bad against ranged hero (especially drow ranger who can slow you down if you are running away). So, take the left lane if you are Scourge, or take the right lane if you are Sentinel. You will be closer to the your tower when you begin to fight. You can also choose to take middle. It's your choice.

If you bought the Animal Courier, leave it at your base. Once you get enough money to buy whatever item you want, quickly use the Animal to buy that item. Otherwise, you will lose those precious money you farmed if you are killed.

Try to deny creeps if possible, and get enough money to buy Battle Fury. The Battle Fury's Cleaving Attack will stack with your Cleaving Attack skill. This will help you get all the creep kills that your creeps have been stealing from.

Always
