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.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
