Dota2

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably realised by now that when it comes to esports in Southeast Asia, nobody quite does...

A tale as old as time, esports is once again failing to get the recognition it so rightly deserves. This time it is the Dota 2 The International (TI)10 that bears the full brunt of it. By refusing to accept esports into the Swedish Sports Federation, Sweden has effectively screwed Valve over. Without the recognition as an elite sporting event by the Swedish Government, players, talents, and staff from outside the European Union would likely be denied entry into Sweden and by extension TI10.

It was a massive win for the SEA-based Dota 2 team. Astounding fans and competitors alike, T1 clutched 3rd in the 2nd major of the year, just barely behind Evil Geniuses and PSG.LGD.

Some know them as the only 2-time winners of The International (TI) while others know them for their relentless and unforgiving BM. Love OG or hate them, you must admit that they are one of the best Dota 2 teams out there, or at least they were...

So you think you know your Dota history? Well kids, this history lesson will show you what else you're missing.

She looks like Thor, has a hammer like Thor and even has hair like the Asgardian god. But Dota’s 2 newest melee hero Dawnbreaker is not a solo hero like the son of Odin is portrayed in comics. No, she’s a unique blend of toughness and support, with plenty of utility on the battlefield.

Magical dragons, elves, sorcerers, Moon Goddesses, demons, and of course tragic backstories. Dota 2’s Netflix series seems to have hit all the nails on the nose within the magical genre, for both the hardcore fan and the casual viewer alike.

The internet is divided today about just what possessed Invictus Gaming’s Zhou “Emo” Yi to post that legendary “?” mark. Was he feeling emo? Was it simply a typo? Psychological warfare? Was he trolling?

It started out threatening to end before it even began. But end, it did: the ONE Esports Singapore Major concluded with a bang as dark horse Invictus Gaming (IG) pulled off a stunning comeback against favourites Evil Geniuses (EG) to claim the Major.

Fans of Evil Geniuses and Team Secret will be in contrasting moods after the penultimate day of action at the ONE Esports Singapore Major. The Team Secret fandom will be nursing their shattered hearts after a humbling 0-2 loss to China’s Invictus Gaming (IG) sent their team packing. But on the other hand, Evil Geniuses fans will feel fairly confident of their team’s chances to clinch the top prize.
