How to play a single player game vs bots in Offline mode

How to play a single player game vs bots in Offline mode

UPDATE 1 :- Sorry for the ambiguity in the title, but this is not a guide to play against bots sorry.
Okay I know not all of you guys have internet connection at all times or just wanna try new stuff vs practice bots, so here is the full tutorial.
1) First you have to enable -console in the launch options of Dota 2 in Steam settings. Just type "-console" without quotes in the text box of launch options (Default key for console is "`").
2) Then start Steam in Offline mode(not necessary but wouldn't hurt)
3) In the console which appears over the "Connecting to Dota 2 network" type the following commands, hitting enter after each one.
sv_cheats 1
sv_lan 1
dota_start_ai_game 1
dota_bot_set_difficulty 0/1/2/3 (For the true enthusiast :D )
or
dota_bot_practice_difficulty 0/1/2/3
map dota
4) You can also load the diretide/tutorial/winter/autumn maps, they will appear in a dropdown menu after you type "map dota"
5) Happy Practicing!
