Lets get some games going here guys!

Lisa has it...

Jack Marsh has it...

MGMT will have it in a few minutes...

Come on guys.

2 more and we will have a decent 3v3 going using Garena!

Do not go for Battle.net

Dota can be played without internet using LAN. When playing online you gonna have to use programs like battle.net or Garena, but I suggest battle.net first.

There is a leveling system in DotA, up to level 25. Once the a match is over and you created a new match you will start from Level-0 again. Match can take from 30 minutes to 80 minutes.

• I'll explain DotA.
• A match of DotA consists of 2 teams, 5 players each team.
• The good team is called the "Sentinels" and the bad team is called the "Scourge"
• The objective of the game is to destroy a single most important structure of the opposing team
• And prevent the opposing team to destroy your important structure.
• The Sentinel's important structure is called "Tree of Life", the Scourge's is called "Frozen Throne"
• The opposing team must defend their structure and destroy yours.
• There are also other structures that will defend your important structure, which are called "Towers"
• As a strategy the team must also protect these Towers, for they are very powerful.
• Each player will choose a character, which is called a "Hero"
• There are 100+ Characters/Heroes to choose from in the game.
• Each character is unique
• A character can be grouped as Killers and Supports
• A Killer, which is called "Carrier", is the one that kills other players in the opposing team.
• A Killer can use physical damage or magical damage to kill other players.
• A Killer can kill one player at a time, or multiple players at the same time.
• A Support is the one that supports the killer and/or do other tasks
• A Support can increase/buff the Killer's attributes such as movespeed, damage, health, attack speed, and many other things.
• A Support can also buff itself, turning itself a temporary Killer.
• A Support can help the Killers kill by disabling the enemy player or multiple players at the same time.
• A Support disables the enemy player by temporarily slowing their movement speed, reducing armor, stunning the player, removing their ability to fight, and many others.
• A Support can also be a Killer, but only if they have a unique ability to be able to kill.
• A Killer can also be a Support, but only if they have a unique ability to be able to support.
• As a strategy teammates must support each other.
• Each character has 3 skills or abilities and 1 single ultimate skill
• To learn abilities a player must level-up his character by killing monsters or enemy players
• If a player's character dies, the character can be resurrected.
• Resurrection's time depends on level, the higher the level the longer the resurrection time is.
• There are also items in the game for the player's character to be used
• An item can be either a consumable or an equipment.
• There are other items that contain special abilities or skills that can be activated or passive.
• To buy items, a player must have money, which are called "Gold"
• Gold can be earned the same way Levels can be earned.
