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.

- Second part of the International preview, and today we are going to look at teams that we can’t rightfully call “Dark Horses”. No opponent will be crazy enough to underestimate them.

- The International is just around the corner and it is time to get acquainted with the teams.

- The last tournaments before TI have concluded and it is time to start thinking of our Predictions and Fantasy rosters. To be completely fair, this blog post is going to be less of a guide and more of an “approach” to managing your fantasy, as a lot of it is random-based and not under the […]
- The International is starting very soon and the current patch is looking great. For the most part it is well balanced and incredibly diverse. It is also one of the longer patches and that allows for some very exciting nail-biters, where you can never know who is going to come out on top.
- The Esports World Cup didn’t show a lot of meaningful meta developments, with most teams potentially saving new strategies for the International. Instead, it was mostly a very tight tournament with teams relying on execution first and foremost. That said, there are definitely some things that need to be trimmed down and out of the […]
- As someone who has spent a lot of time writing about pub Dota, while casting Professional matches, I get somewhat bothered by how slowly the professional meta develops. Trends and ideas already discussed as “new pub trends” in our Blog take months to be adopted at the highest level of play, usually with great success. […]

- The biggest Dota tournament of the year starts in two months, but in just two weeks we will know the whole roster of the attending teams. Nine teams will be able to make it to the event, but first they have to compete in their regional qualifiers and in many regions it will be a […]
- With the International qualifiers just around the corner, it is highly unlikely we will see major gameplay updates any time soon. Moreover, with two massive Dota tournaments on the horizon, it doesn’t feel like it is time to release big events or collaborations, so that the community is not distracted from the biggest esports events […]
