The Dota 2 hype is in full effect. You can currently watch a live stream of the Dota 2 International Championships below. I’ve never played Dota, but I’m an avid League of Legends enthusiast. I’m watching the livestream, and I’m absolutely captivated. The game looks intense. While a bit confusing, since I don’t know the characters and their abilities, I must say, the game looks gorgeous. The particle effects, character models, and environment all have a high amount of detail.
In the meantime, screenshots are beginning to trickle out, so here’s a couple that will whet your palette while you wait for matches to begin.
You can see some of the characters for both sides, Radiant and Dire. They are broken up into three groups: strength, agility, and intelligence.
Sooooooo pretty.
The effects on his sword, the hud, and just everything about the game makes me want to fap fap fap.
