What does a Hero truly need? That is for you to decide. For me, I need Speed beyond measure! hahaha! Traxex! Check out Dota 2 Gamescom trailer and more information about the coming tournament below.
The $1 million Dota 2 tournament has started at Gamescom. You can follow all the action live right this very minute on the Dota 2 site. It’s clear within a few minutes of watching that Valve aren’t just rolling out a new game, they’re trying to create the best e-sports spectator experience in the world.
Let’s start with the tournament page itself. There are commentary streams for every nationality that you can switch between at will. The team lineups are below. This provides easily accessible information on each hero. Spectators new to the game can quickly see the stats, strengths and weaknesses of each character and gain an understand of what’s happening, even if they’ve never played Dota before.
The most impressive addition is the live scoreboard. It’s a pop up that streams real time game information straight to a web page. You can see how much gold each character has, their level, whether they’ve gained their ultimate ability and their current kill/death scores. When they use their ultimate, you can even see the cooldown timer counting the seconds until it can be used again. These stats are updated instantaneously. When level 18 Pugma saunters up to a level 16 Lich you’ll know who has the advantage, and why. via pcgamer
