What is dota 2?
Dota 2 is a multiplayer game which is played by 5 players per team. Each team has a
base called Ancient which is to be protected by the team. There are also 100 heroes to
choose and it is divided into Strength, Agility and Intelligence types. You can ban 1 hero
during the banning phrase and 1 hero to pick and lock to play. There are three pathways
also called lanes which is the middle, top lane, and the bottom lane. There are soldiers or
creeps that are spawned to these lanes and clashing to enemy’s creeps. By leveling up,
killing creeps or heroes, purchasing items and making strategic decisions, the players can
control the map until they destroy the enemy’s base and destroy their ancient and the team
who destroyed the enemy’s ancient will win.
