The biggest Dota 2 event of the year has just reached a new milestone. As of this writing, the prize pool for The International 4 championship is already at over $5 million. Believe it or not the total prize money was $3 million just a few days ago.
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.
Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.
Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.
Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?
It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.
This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
Following the Dota 2 update that increased the size of the map by 40%, I asked League of Legends EP Jeremy Lee if we can expect similar things for LoL.
OK this is a lot of cash!!! It was like $2 mil two days ago!
I have got to get better at DotA2!
Really looking forward to the Internationals! Saw some amazing plays last year and learnt a ton. If your playing DotA and want to get better watch the pros play. You'll learn a lot.
I hope to see some more amazing plays this year :D
