Welcome Heroes


Its hard to believe that the PG's DOTA 2 community has grown over the years to allow us to have a dedicated section for DOTA 2. Firstly, I would like to welcome existing and new players to the section. You are welcome to post details of tournaments, guides, news, problems or anything DOTA/DOTA 2 related in the section. We're hopefully that in time this section will grow even further and introduce even more players in the current Pakistan DOTA 2 scene.

For those who are new to DOTA 2, here is some information for you

What is DOTA 2?
Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena video game and the stand-alone sequel to the Defense of the Ancients (DotA) mod. Developed by Valve Corporation, the game was released on July 9, 2013 for Microsoft Windows, utilizing a free-to-play business model. OS X and Linux versions of Dota 2 were released on July 18, 2013. In most regions, Dota 2 is exclusively available through Valve's content delivery platform, Steam.The game consists of session-based online multiplayer matches, in which two teams of five players attempt to destroy their opponents' fortified strongholds. Each player controls a "Hero" character and, over the course of an individual game, focuses on improving their Hero's abilities, acquiring items, and fighting against the other team.


Development of Dota 2 began in 2009, with the hiring of DotA's lead developer, "IceFrog", to serve as the sequel's lead designer. To design the graphics, Valve used an upgraded Source engine to accommodate features necessary for the game. Dota 2 was acclaimed by video game critics as being one of the most successfully delivered multiplayer online battle arena games, with praise for the gameplay experience, considered engaging and rewarding, at the cost of a steep learning curve. The game has become the most played on Steam, with a peak of over 500,000 concurrent players.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
