Dota 2

Every day, millions of players worldwide enter the battle as one of over a hundred Dota Heroes in a 5v5 team clash. Dota is the deepest multi-player action RTS game ever made and there’s always a new strategy or tactic to discover. It’s completely free to play and always will be – start defending your ancient now.
From magical tacticians to fierce brutes and cunning rogues, Dota 2’s hero pool is massive and limitlessly diverse. Unleash incredible abilities and devastating ultimates on your way to victory.

When not climbing the ranks, you’ll be able to learn from the best. The Dota Pro Circuit features ultra-high-level Dota 2 competition streaming regularly in the game client, on Twitch and Steam.TV. Culminating in the largest e-sports championship in the world, The International, professional Dota 2 is an event not to be missed.
Dota 2 on Valve Corporationin kehittämä ja julkaisema strategiapeli Microsoft Windowsille, OS X:lle ja Linuxille. Peli on itsenäinen jatko-osa Defense of the Ancientsille, joka on yhteisövoimin kehitetty Warcraft 3 -pelin modi.
Dota 2:n julkaisija on pelitalo Valve, joka tunnetaan muun muassa Half Life- ja Counter-Strike -pelisarjoista. Dota luokitellaan usein MOBA-kategoriaan, mikä on lyhenne sanoista multiplayer online battle arena [taisteluareenamoninpeli].
Dota 2:n avoin beta-testaus alkoi vuonna 2011 ja loppui heinäkuussa 2013, jolloin peli julkaistiin virallisesti. Peli on tällä hetkellä yksi maailman suosituimmista peleistä, jolta löytyy miljoonia pelaajia päivittäin.
Dota 2 on pelattavissa ilmaiseksi PC:llä ja Macilla. Pelin voi ladata ilmaiseksi Steam-sovelluksella, jonka pelaamiseen tarvitsee.
– Päivittäin miljoonat pelaajat kautta maailman astuvat taistelukentälle yhtenä yli sadasta Dota-sankarista. Ja olipa kyseessä sitten heidän kymmenes tai kymmenestuhannes pelinsä, sieltä löytyy aina jotain uutta, kuvaillaan Dotaa pelin omilla kotisivuilla.
Vaikka peli on ilmainen, löytyy siitä mikromaksuja. Ostettavat tuotteet ovat joko lisäosia tai kosmeettisia ulkoasuja, joten mikromaksuilla ei saa konkreettisesti mitään hyötyä muihin pelaajiin.
Dota 2 News
- A good balance between cosmetic content and balance update is necessary for the health of the game. While there is very little to complain about balance and meta-wise in the current, relatively fresh patch, we, like many others, are waiting for this year’s Crownfall-style event or, perhaps, even a TI Battle Pass. Here are our […]
- The facet system is definitely starting to mature and is becoming more and more of what was originally envisioned. It is a way to adapt heroes after they have been already selected, to squeeze out higher potential or answer a potential counterpick. While we believe there is still a lot to be improved on in […]
- There are always fun things to try in Dota. The sandbox nature of the game leaves a lot of room for effective creativity. Some of the ideas presented today might be hard to pull off, but with some work we believe they can work wonders for your party.
- PGL Wallachia tournaments are among the most exciting tournaments out there. Because they don’t directly tie in into any of the leaderboards and as such, don’t directly contribute to other tournament invites, they typically have two interesting properties.
- It says a lot about the state of the hero, when they are being ignored by the pub and pro-scene alike. While it is unreasonable to expect all heroes to be viable in the same patch, there are some that have been out of meta for a long time and deserve some time in the […]
- If you’ve played Dota at a high enough level, you’ve probably seen obvious account buyers. Questionable match history, high win rate, suspicious hero selection on the account and absolute cluelessness during the match. Nowadays, it is a lot rarer than it used to be, but each such encounter left me with a single, lingering thought: […]
- The current support meta is quite diverse. A lot of currently popular picks are well-analyzed and don’t require further investigation, however there are some that are only now getting the recognition they deserve. Some of these support picks are also quite unexpected, so we are going to have a quick overview of the more exotic […]
- Fissure Universe is not the first tournament on the new patch, but it is probably going to be the first one where the meta is somewhat settled. By now most teams are probably aware of the most broken stuff in the game and it is going to be much harder to cheese a victory from […]
- Wandering Waters didn’t introduce any new regular items to the game, but it did heavily modify several potential options. While there isn’t anything blatantly overpowered in the new regular item pool, these new options definitely deserve a discussion — some of them are quite a bit better than they look.
- It’s been a week since the release of the Wandering Waters and it looks like this was a patch dedicated to massive mechanics overhaul, rather than balance changes. We are definitely not complaining — the game feels very fresh, though there are definitely some kinks to iron out and some heroes to tone down a […]
