 "DOTA 2 To Be Unveiled at Gamescom 2011")
DOTA AK Defense of the Ancients is to Warcraft III what Counter-Strike was to Half-Life – an insanely successful multiplayer mod played the world over. And now at Gamescom 2011, Valve’s all set to unveil the sequel with a bang. This bang I talk about is Valve hosting a tournament called The International where 16 of the best DOTA teams around the world will compete in the world’s very first DOTA 2 tournament. The winner will walk away with a cool $1 million in cash. And they say gaming is for kids.
Coming soon to Gamescom
DOTA 2 will be built using Valve’s Source engine, the very same engine that’s been powering their games since Half-Life 2. It will not feature a single player campaign but will come with bot support to help train those new to the game. For more on DOTA 2, head on over to the game’s official blog .
Thanks to Gamespot for the heads up.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
