REPOSTOBER - DAY 12 (2013)

Trough 2013, I partnered with Wlad to draw some concepts for Dota 2 workshop, and we managed to get our first set we made together in game that year; Augurs Curse for Death Prophet.

However, shit will truly hit the fan next year when loading screen I did for Wlad for his Stonehall Royal Guard set for Legion Commander gets in the game. Fact that my illustration was on front page when you launch Dota 2 was my dream coming true that one day my art will somehow find its way in Valve game.

NGL, that dream came relatively true sooner than I expected :V

Dazzle and Tresdin were sitting in their favourite spot, leaning against a fallen tree trunk and looking over the mountains and valleys in front of them. The sun was setting, it was quiet, the air cool.

Dazzle was restless. The Crystal Maiden had visited earlier and she had flirted shamelessly with Tresdin. That wasn’t a problem, but it had made Dazzle think about Tresdin and about their relationship. “Tresdin, do you miss being with women?”

“What?”

Dazzle looked at the sunset, not because it was beautiful (though it definitely was) but because he wanted to avoid Tresdin’s gaze. “I mean, you have only ever been with women before me but I am definitely not one. I was wondering, maybe you miss it?” When he had fallen in love with Tresdin, Dazzle had been sure it would be one-sided forever. Everyone knew Tresdin was a lesbian and everyone knew what happened to those who ignored it. He would’ve stayed with her regardless, he would’ve loved her anyway, without ever pushing for more. He wouldn’t have been content to only have her as friend but it would’ve been enough.

Despite everything, she had fallen in love with him. Him! It was unbelievable and sometimes, especially when he watched Tresdin flirting with women, he wondered.

Tresdin chuckled. “You are definitely no woman. You have too many body parts in one place and too little in others.”

“I know!” Dazzle was a bit frustrated that she didn’t directly answer his question so he pushed for an answer. “But do you miss it? Are there things you miss when you are with me?”

“Hm.” When the sun set in the mountains, it got cold fast and Tresdin pulled Dazzle closer, aware that he tended to freeze. She gave off enough heat for the both of them and he snuggled into her. “What do I miss when I’m with you instead of a woman?” Tresdin played with a strand of Dazzle’s hair. “I guess I miss the licking. You know, down there. And the tits.” She sighed a bit. “Tits are awesome. But you know that.”

“I do.” Still not looking at her, Dazzle wondered if that answer helped him in his insecurity today or not. While thinking about it, Dazzle watched the colour of the sky change from orange to deep red.

“I prefer to miss some licking and tits to missing you, though.” Tresdin’s voice was soft, her fingers brushing against Dazzle’s neck while she wove them through his hair. “Sometimes I think about being with a woman. But then I think about the fact that I’d have to give you up for it and it isn’t worth it. It would feel nice in the moment, but that would be it. It won’t feel nicer than being with you, just nice in a different way and I don’t miss it enough to even remotely want to give up what I have with you. Do you miss your home? You have been living with me for some time now, don’t you want to go back, to your house and to your people?”

Dazzle blinked at the sudden change in subject and turned his head. But now it was Tresdin who stared at the sunset, avoiding his gaze. “I miss the heat. And sometimes I miss the drugs, they made everything seem so easy. I could go back, live in my house a few days, then with you a few days, but I don’t really want to.” He smiled, though Tresdin couldn’t see it. “Especially since you keep me warm when I’m cold.” He shrugged. “It isn’t important, as long as I’m with you I am happy.”

“Then I guess we are both happy with what we have.” Tresdin turned her head now and found Dazzle smiling at her. She kissed him, then sighed. “I think I miss that I’m no longer a lesbian. It was so easy, to tell all the guys ‘no, thank you, I don’t want to go home with you because I’m a lesbian’.”

“As if you need an excuse like that to tell someone off.”

Tresdin snorted. “You are right, I don’t.” The sun had vanished behind the mountain range and Tresdin stood up. Dazzle shivered in the sudden cold where Tresdin had warmed him. “Come my pretty troll, let us get you inside before you freeze to the spot.”

Holding a hand out, Tresdin pulled Dazzle to his feet and then against her side again as they walked to the house.

Dazzle’s insecurity was gone, at least for today. It would probably return, the next time some female flirted with Tresdin. Maybe one day she’d miss the licking and the tits so much that she’d leave him for it.

It would hurt like hell but he was a troll shaman, he knew all the drugs to make him forget, to make him feel good and to make life easy. He’d not worry today, when Tresdin had chosen him over a woman she found attractive. Not today, when she had told him she liked him too much to leave him for any woman. She had chosen him, at least for the time being and it was enough. Because maybe the ‘time being’ would be years, or centuries or the rest of their lives. Who knew?

[hundchentanque]

So I've finally started playing DOTA 2 thanks to Riot games putting Kernel level anticheat in league and the wonderful @sophie-spouting-specific-sighs guiding me through the initial hurdles.

Omniknight :3 I love this man so fucking much, the only thing that could make me love him more is if I put fucking skullbasher on him and make his attacks stun people. He and Legion Commander are becoming my two mains in this game, with him being my defacto go to whenever I want to and whenever he is needed. I love this goober so much.

Exploring the Lore: The Rich World of Dota 2

Dota 2, developed by Valve Corporation, is renowned for its intricate gameplay and strategic depth. However, beyond the intense battles and complex mechanics lies a rich and captivating world filled with lore. The game’s universe is brimming with stories of ancient gods, legendary heroes, and epic conflicts that provide a deeper context to the battles players engage in. This blog explores the lore of Dota 2, delving into its origins, key characters, and significant events that shape its narrative landscape.

Origins of the Dota 2 Universe

The lore of Dota 2 is an expansive tapestry that intertwines mythology, fantasy, and history. It all began with the original Defense of the Ancients (DotA) mod for Warcraft III, created by the community and later developed into Dota 2 by Valve. The game's universe is divided into two primary factions: the Radiant and the Dire, each with its unique characteristics and influence over the world.

The Radiant and the Dire

The Radiant represents light, life, and growth. Its territory is lush and vibrant, symbolizing hope and renewal. In contrast, the Dire embodies darkness, decay, and destruction. Its land is barren and desolate, reflecting its corrupting influence. The eternal struggle between these two forces is central to the game's lore, with each battle in the game representing a clash in this ongoing war.

Key Characters in the Dota 2 Lore

Dota 2 features a vast roster of heroes, each with their backstory and motivations. These characters are not just pawns in the game but are woven into the fabric of the universe, with their actions and histories influencing the broader narrative.

The Ancients

At the heart of the Dota 2 lore are the Ancients, powerful entities that drive the conflict between the Radiant and the Dire. The Radiant Ancient, known as the Worldstone, and the Dire Ancient, called the Shadowstone, are sources of immense power. The heroes fight to control these Ancients, seeking to harness their energy for their respective factions.

Notable Heroes

Invoker: One of the most iconic heroes in Dota 2, Invoker is a master of arcane magic. His real name, Carl, hints at his enigmatic past. He has lived for millennia, constantly seeking to expand his knowledge and power. Invoker's story is one of ambition and hubris, as he often teeters on the edge of godhood and madness.

Terrorblade: Once a powerful demon, Terrorblade was banished to Foulfell, a hellish dimension where demons are imprisoned. There, he confronted his dark reflection, ultimately absorbing it to become even more formidable. His goal is to conquer both Foulfell and the world of Dota 2, making him a fearsome adversary.

Anti-Mage: Driven by a deep hatred for magic, Anti-Mage dedicates his life to eradicating it from the world. His backstory is tragic, as he witnessed the destruction of his monastery by powerful sorcerers. This event fueled his vendetta against all magic users, making him a relentless and focused warrior.

Legion Commander: Tresdin, known as Legion Commander, is a warrior of unmatched prowess. She leads the Bronze Legion, a formidable army sworn to protect the realm. Her story is one of duty and honor, as she fights to uphold justice and defend her people against the forces of darkness.

Major Events and Story Arcs

The Dota 2 lore is punctuated by significant events and story arcs that shape its world. These events often involve major battles, alliances, and betrayals, adding layers of depth to the game's narrative.

The Fall of Mad Moon

One of the pivotal events in the Dota 2 lore is the fall of Mad Moon. Mad Moon was a celestial body that orbited the planet, home to the Radiant and Dire Ancients. Its destruction caused fragments of these powerful entities to fall to the world below, leading to the rise of new heroes and the intensification of the conflict between Radiant and Dire.

The Ascension of Selemene

Selemene, the goddess of the moon, plays a crucial role in the lore. She is worshipped by the Dark Moon Order, led by the hero Mirana. Selemene's rise to power and her influence over the world is a central theme, as her followers seek to spread her worship and gain her favor. Her story is intertwined with that of the hero Luna, a former warrior who becomes Selemene's chosen champion.

The Aghanim's Trials

Aghanim, a legendary wizard, left behind a legacy of powerful artifacts and trials. These trials, known as Aghanim's Trials, test the might and resolve of heroes. Aghanim's influence extends beyond his lifetime, as heroes seek to prove themselves worthy by overcoming his challenges and gaining access to his powerful scepter.

The Interconnected Web of Stories

The beauty of Dota 2's lore lies in its interconnectedness. Heroes are not isolated entities; their stories often intersect, creating a rich web of relationships and rivalries.

Rivalries and Alliances

Crystal Maiden and Lina: These two sisters represent ice and fire, respectively. Their rivalry is rooted in their elemental powers and contrasting personalities. While Crystal Maiden is calm and collected, Lina is fiery and impulsive. Their sibling rivalry adds a personal dimension to their battles.

Slardar and Naga Siren: As guardians of the deep, Slardar and Naga Siren are bound by duty to protect the underwater realms. However, their approaches differ greatly. Slardar is a fierce enforcer, while Naga Siren is more cunning and strategic. Their alliance is one of necessity, as they work together to fend off threats from the surface world.

Pudge and Rubick: Pudge, the butcher, and Rubick, the grand magus, have a unique relationship based on their shared interest in collecting the abilities of other heroes. Pudge seeks to dismember and consume, while Rubick aims to replicate and master. Their encounters are often marked by a macabre game of cat and mouse.

Tragic Heroes and Redemption Arcs

Shadow Fiend: Once a mortal sorcerer named Nevermore, Shadow Fiend's thirst for forbidden knowledge led him to become a demon. His story is one of tragedy and loss, as he is now bound to the shadowy realm, forever seeking to reclaim his lost humanity.

Terrorblade and Anti-Mage: Both heroes have tragic pasts that drive their actions. Terrorblade's quest for power is fueled by his desire to escape his demonic prison, while Anti-Mage's vendetta against magic stems from the destruction of his home. Their stories are intertwined with themes of revenge and redemption.

The Expanding Universe

The lore of Dota 2 continues to evolve, with Valve regularly introducing new heroes, events, and storylines. Each update adds new layers to the existing narrative, ensuring that the world of Dota 2 remains dynamic and engaging.

New Heroes and Their Impact

Recent additions to the hero roster, such as Mars and Snapfire, bring fresh perspectives and stories to the game. Mars, the god of war, introduces themes of divine conflict and ancient grudges, while Snapfire, an elderly goblin with a fiery pet, adds a touch of humor and unpredictability to the lore.

Seasonal Events and Story Updates

Valve often incorporates seasonal events that expand the lore. These events, such as the Diretide Halloween event or the New Bloom Festival, introduce limited-time storylines and challenges that enrich the game's universe. Players engage in these events to uncover new lore and gain unique rewards.

Conclusion

The lore of Dota 2 is a rich and intricate tapestry that enhances the gameplay experience. From the cosmic struggle between the Radiant and the Dire to the personal stories of individual heroes, the game's universe is filled with compelling narratives that captivate players. As Valve continues to expand and develop the lore, the world of Dota 2 will undoubtedly remain a fascinating and immersive realm for years to come.

For both new and veteran players, exploring the lore provides a deeper appreciation of the characters and conflicts that define the game. Whether you're battling as Invoker, seeking redemption as Shadow Fiend, or fighting for justice as Legion Commander, understanding the lore adds a meaningful layer to every match. So, the next time you dive into a game of Dota 2, take a moment to consider the stories behind the heroes and the ancient war that rages on.

Former Dota 2 Pro Arteezy Criticises for Playing So Terribly That He Believed They Had Sold Their Account

Ever had a Dota 2 ranked match go so poorly that you were accused of selling your account? Well, that's exactly what happened to Maurice "KheZu" Gutmann during a game he played alongside Artour "Arteezy" Babaev on September 15. In this specific match, KheZu took on the offlane role as Legion Commander, while Arteezy assumed the mid lane as Necrophos. Unfortunately, the match quickly devolved into a one-sided defeat, and Arteezy didn't hold back in expressing his frustration with his teammates. KheZu brought up this incident in a recent interview during DreamLeague Season 21. KheZu asked Arteezy, "Remember the pub game we played like a week ago?" Arteezy instantly recalled the encounter. Despite facing criticism during the match, KheZu acknowledged that Arteezy was justified in calling out everyone's poor performance and even apologized for his own lackluster showing, which resulted in a zero-to-eight score. The studio erupted in laughter as Arteezy revealed that he had briefly entertained the idea that KheZu might have sold his account, as he couldn't fathom the extent of his poor plays. At the time of the match, KheZu was coming back from a three-month-long break from Dota 2, which meant he was slightly rusty to be competing at the highest skill level of the game. To compound the issue, KheZu wasn't the only player underperforming in the game; both of the supports, Dark Willow and Treant Protector, were also struggling. DreamLeague Season 21 is an online tournament that attracted the best Dota 2 teams from around the world to Europe in preparation for The International 2023. With such fierce competition in the region, even ranked games took on a more intense and challenging nature since professional players frequently played with and against each other between scrimmages.
