This is definitely some exciting news for me myself. DotA has played quite a big role in releasing stress during my college days as well as contributing in sleepless nights which indirectly pulled down my exam grades LOL!
Nevertheless, it was quite a memory for me and my ex-college mates where we had loads of fun back then!
Little did i know about the existence about Dota2 till i recently came across an article on it. Believe me, i had my eyes open up wide and gosh the news was out since November 2010 and NOW only i found out about it!
The creator of Half-Life game series, Valve have teamed up with IceFrog, the person responsible for the map mod of Dota used in Warcraft 3 coming up with Dota2. Pretty interesting if you ask me.
It became more interesting when i found out about this upcoming tournament with a grand cash prize of USD 1 Million for the winning team where 16 “Most Elite” teams around the world will participate in it playing Dota2 at Gamescom, Germany!! I REPEAT – USD 1 MILLION
Entry to the tournament are by invitation ONLY and well, ONE of the team which is participating is from MALAYSIA. Shall support the team mainly because they have a DAMN AWESOME TEAM NAME! LOL
There’ll be a live worldwide video broadast in four languages (Chinese, English, German, Russian) where the Dota 2 Championships will be happening from 17-21 August 2011
