How to find a signature hero in Dota 2?
Usually, the signature hero is the one you play the most. You know what to do on it in almost any situation, and you know how to play against counter picks and so on. And, of course, you have to enjoy this hero, which encourages you to play a bunch of games on him in a row. When I first entered Dota 2, my signature hero was Bloodseeker. I liked his mysterious clothes and strong abilities. For such an easy-to-use hero, he was pretty strong. Below I’ll tell you how I realized it.
Commands&mechanics that I want to add to Dota 2
Perhaps Dota 2 is not as popular as it used to be: now it is not even among the top three most popular games on Steam. My friends have also abandoned Dota lately, and now they are happy to play in the competitive CS:GO. Possible, it's because of the lack of some interesting mechanics that you can meet playing the other games?
Heroes that returned to meta after 7.32b release
Swiftly jump from 7.32 to 7.32b was very interesting for a number of heroes. Some of them became noticeably stronger, and some were in the spotlight for one week, after which they disappeared from the game “radar”. However, a couple of heroes got a “short vacation”, after which they returned to the meta with renewed spells. Today we will talk about such heroes. Let’s cut to the chase!

Xtreme Gaming – the strongest team in LCQ right now?
From the beginning, the recognition of MMORPG China region has been dominant among other regions. As history has shown, Dota 2 did not become exceptional, and Chinese vulnerabilities did not turn out to be stronger among all the others on time exceptions, one has only to remember the absolute hegemony of the probability of occurrence of signs in 2014 and 2016. Almost every year, fans of the Chinese region have one or two teams that almost never go into the skills of other teams from other regions: once they were Vici Gaming, Wings, Newbee, LGD, LGD Forever Young. Each such team had a chance to get the coveted The International Cup - some teams found it, and some, although they didn’t find it, were very close. PSG.LGD is a team that stands out for a very high level of play and makes fans fall in love with its unmistakable game at speeds, but so far, all of them are ahead in the last three years of performances in vain.
Chen - Top-1 Arlington Major Star-Support
Do you know what I want to say ab this major? I like it. Really fun games and an unimaginable LAN foundation. By the way, in the end, it turns out that China will take 2 out of 3 places, and this is without Xtreme gaming. But, I will discuss that aspect in more detail later. For a long time, Chen was considered as butterflies in the stomach, but present-day Arlington Major shows us how deep mistakes we all made.
NaVi vs. Outsiders: post-analysis of semi-final of TI11 CIS quals
Navi vs. Outsiders (VP) is the usual derby between these teams in CIS region. And it's in the TI11 qualifiers that they'll face off against each other. Or rather, there was already a match, and Outsiders (VP) won. Unfortunately for Outsiders (VP), they were beaten by Team BetBoom. The Russian club beat NaVi with a score of 2-0. Therefore, they will play in the Last Chance stage at The International 2022.
Faceless Void guide - the most picked hero at TI qualifiers
Quite recently, the qualifying matches for the long-awaited and beloved The International 11 thundered. These qualifiers were remembered for colorful matches, interesting drafts, and, in some cases, even unexpected winners of the qualifiers themselves. After all the matches played in all regions, there are only two slots left for the dream tournament. Last Chance Qualifier is the last chance to catch the chance provided by the organizers of the largest competition in Dota 2.

Top bug-madness in Dota 2
No doubt, bugs, and errors affect the game quite a lot. For this reason, IT seniors release patches, regular technical reworks, and updates. Dota 2, especially Valve IT team, is no exception. Each new patch is usually accompanied by the appearance of new bugs, both ordinary cosmetic ones and ruining the entire game mechanic, that sometimes causes server crashes and other global problems. Sometimes such “mistakes” affect the match’s results, including the performance of E-sportsmen on the professional cyber scene.
Heroes that are better to avoid in patch 7.32b
Each patch has widespread but sometimes frankly weak heroes. Perhaps the popularity of such heroes is due to the new mechanics or some small buff. However, the result is always the same: players continue to play these heroes, losing MMR to themselves and their team. Today we will discuss the leading contenders for the black list of heroes.
First appearances of Primal Beast in Competitive Dota
On August 23, Valve released a new patch - 7.32. In this patch, the Primal Beast hero has been added to Captains mode, which means he is now available for selection in the competitive scene. Since the patch was released during the Riyadh Masters 2022, some teams dared to try it in their matches. At that moment, Doters only chose Primal Beast for the third position, that is, he could not even be flexed on lanes. Due to the lack of experience with the hero, the teams did not want to risk relegation from the tournament, so his pick rate was meager. Only the Nigma Galaxy team, namely MinD_ContRol, took more often than others, which did not help his team go far in the tournament.
