Isys E-Sports - Dota 2 competition update and documentary !


First off, happy long weekend, Easter, uni break, 2 weeks off, holiday and Anzac Day… I think that covers all of them? Hope you were more productive than I was!

Secondly, this might not be directly related to Esports but it is a sport, bad luck to Liverpool last night against Chelsea, hopefully karma will come round for the double-decker wasting time parked bus that was Jose’s side last night.

 

Now, to E Sports!

There wasn’t much on in relation to Dota over the last 2 weeks as the majority of the main leagues going at the moment were on break / having catch up games for any that had been missed out. For those who are interested here are the official links to the 2 main leagues (that I follow) which are underway at the moment:

Star Ladder - http://dota2.starladder.tv/league (Na’vi 2nd)


There are games that will be happening from the 4th onwards which will be a good watch as we close down to the final couple of games in the season. I’ll be doing a blog either next week or the following (once the round has finished) regarding these results.

If you’re interested in the level of excitement that is in Dota 2 as an Esport have a look at the new documentary that was released called ‘Free2Play’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZYMI1zB9s – 1 hour long documentary on the game.

Dota 2 is such a huge game it’s almost impossible to write down a tutorial or guideline for someone who isn’t familiar to follow. There’s so many factors and elements in the game that can effect a players experience that I felt it’d be better to show the basics from finding an appropriate video on YouTube that explains the game. You can find this video here:

Another way for new players to get involved in the game and learn how to play is to actually log on and play for themselves. Dota 2 offers an in-game tutorial for players to get used to the game and help them come to terms with the vast amount of knowledge and skill required to play.

So until next week, GL and HF!
