ESports - Dota 2 - Sean

We’ve got an exciting week coming up in the ‘Dota-verse’ of ESports!

In the Dreamhack tournament we have Week 8, with the following schedule:

 

Personally I’ll be going for ‘Na’Vi’ so good luck to them on their upcoming game!

But more importantly…

INTERNATIONAL TEAMS ANNOUNCED !!! - http://www.dotacinema.com/news/the-international-4-teams-announced

This is sooooooooooooooo exciting in the world of Esports when it comes to Dota 2, in fact, you could say that it is the BIGGEST event each year within the Dota 2 community.

 

This international is coming up in July, so close but so far!

Here's a trailer for 2013's international... It's pretty 'dramatic' and I believe the author doesn't speak English as their first language so the titles could be re-worded but still adds to the excitement nevertheless.

 

Anyway,

Another thing to note which is a huge change to Dota 2 is the recent update to the game, Patch 6.81 known as the ‘Spring Cleanup’. This fixes a huge amount of bugs and implements new variety to gameplay for various heroes within Dota 2.

There’s some new changes to my favourite hero to play and watch professionals play is a hero known as ‘Timbersaw’.

He’s a hero that uses in-game ‘trees’ to his advantage, here’s a link to his profile.

One of the exciting things about the latest patch for me is that he also has a model breakdown, which means fans can create new 3D assets for him to be used in-game to change his looks and aesthetics… Kind of like new clothes!

Till next time!
