One of the Most Exciting Moments in eSports History

Follow the DOTA 2 tag then watch the All Your History DOTA videos (there are 3)... then perhaps the Comical View (which is funnier if you got the basic understanding). DOTA 2 is free to play, but in closed beta at the moment. Getting a key though is mostly a matter of applying and waiting, and/or visiting Twitch streams of the game or Steam trade forums. At the point in this video iG wassort of winning, but Na'Vi turned it around with what SWBStX talked about...

>> ^doogle:

I'm curious to know more, but have immense difficulty with the limited info here.
What's "DOTA"?
Who the fuck is winning?
bla bla bla


That was a great analogy there... the interception and running for a touchdown in American football (I don't know football/soccer well enough to know on the other ).

>> ^SWBStX:

It would be kinda like intercepting a touchdown pass from your opponent to then run it back for your own score in American football. Perhaps something like one or two goals in stoppage time to comeback and win a football(soccer) game.


I've yet to actually play a game against real people... even Easy bots beat me. I think I am nearly at the stage I could have some coaching, but not sure yet... then again I worry I may be learning bad techniques and will have to unlearn what I have learned. Right now I am focusing on last hits and denies (for those that don't know DOTA/MOBA style games, each lane generates minions called creeps, and by getting the last hit on the enemy creeps you gain more experience and gold than you would otherwise, your creeps or towers are often getting last hits, since it is worth xp/gold to last hit a creep, you want to deny the enemy team that ability and so you last hit your own creep, they still get some XP/gold, but not as much, and XP/gold becomes more important as the game goes on). Then perhaps items/abilities and all the heroes... it really starts to get intimidating with the depth.

DOTA stands for Defense of the Ancients. It was originally a Warcraft 3 mod that has been remade by Valve into it's own stand alone game, now called DOTA2. It's technically still in Beta despite this being the second year they've had the International tournament with the $1 million prize to the top team.

The team who is winning is "Na Vi". This clip shows their opponent "iG" sweeping around to pull off what is called a "smoke gank" and which they seem to have set up perfectly. However one character on Na Vi's team is able to use one of his abilities to disable most of the other team giving his teammate time to steal a key ability from the other team and turn around a fight that should have been devastating.

It's a little hard to explain and even harder to tell what is going on if you don't know anything about the game. But what you should know is that it was an amazing turn around at a crucial moment on one of esports' biggest stages. It would be kinda like intercepting a touchdown pass from your opponent to then run it back for your own score in American football. Perhaps something like one or two goals in stoppage time to comeback and win a football(soccer) game.

This post has gone on far too long, check out Dota2 if you're interested in finding an excellent team oriented PC online game.

You can watch the crowd and the video at the same time here, just mute one of them... the crowd when it sees iG coming around is very somber, knowing it looks to be the end of Na'Vi... I was lucky enough to be watching it on Twitch live... would have been cooler to see it in person, but still... I was nearly on my feet jumping in excitement at the whole turn of events.

Why Boba Fett Royally Sucks at His Job

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Golf clap.>> ^Sagemind:

There are many reasons Fett is a great character (and why he Bad-Ass). I'll try to avoid all of the stuff from the books but they reinforce Fett and the characteristics that define him.
1). Disintegrations: In the Dark Horse Comic "Enemy of the Empire" - Baba Fett had been given the order to disintegrate his target giving him a reputation for being relentless.
2). Boba Fett wears braids made of Wookie hair as trophies of Wookies that he has bested.
3). Boba Fett outsmarts Has Solo. When Han comes up with the idea of floating away with the trash, Boba Fett sees through Han's plan and is able to track him and arrive in Bespin before they can even land the Falcon
4). Boba Fett has the balls to negotiate with a Sith Lord and still come out with a good deal - something few people can do. Then later he has the balls again to challenge Vader when he warns "he's no good to me dead"
4). Once Boba Fett has Han captured (frozen), he had to outsmart and fend off two different IG-88 droids in two separate attacks, as well as defend his bounty against the team-up of Bossk, Zuckus and 4-Lom multiple times before he could get Han to Jabba and claim his reward - some of the toughest and most ruthless mercinaries in the bounty hunter's guild. (Also, an aside from the books... Boba Fett was able to outsmart and dissolve the entire Bounty Hunter's Guild.)
5). Boba managed to get two bounty payouts for the same bounty from two of the hardest villains around. He was paid by Vader to provide Han as bait to get Skywalker and he was able to turn him over to Jabba once Vader was finished with him. Successfully!!
6). Shooting at Luke while on the Sail Barge. - It's believed that Boba missed Luke on purpose because he knew Vader wanted him alive. The reason he tried to catch him using the wrist lasso and why he jet-packed to the skiff instead of staying on the barge..
7). Why was Boba Fett hanging around Jabba's Pallace after he delivered Han?
Jabba offered Fett more credits, knowing Skywalker and the other would probably try to rescue him. Jabba was known for keeping multiple bounty Hunters and mercenaries on retainer both through blackmail and by paycheck. Having many different factions close by ensured that even if there was mutiny, there was always another faction standing by to protect him for a cash payment.
. Boba Fett has the best ship in Star Wars galaxy with best weaponry and gadgets. He also has the cash to keep it up to date functioning perfectly - because he is the best at what he does. Slave One is a modified prototype police vehicle (Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft) made by Kuat Systems Engineering, the largest ship builder in the galaxy. (I also like the B-wing fighter, it's pretty cool too.)
9). Boba Fetts custom Mandalorian Armor is just plain cool.
10). Fett had to end up in the Pit of Carkoon/Sarlac Pit". It was the only option story wise. Fett would have pursued Skywalker and the gang if he could have and then where would that leave our heroes - DEAD, that's where.
I shouldn't have to defend him but there you go - Truth be told I also like Bossk and Dengar for their own reasons as well.
