Happy Birthday, Kuroky! - 2014 gift art by xairylle

Happy birthday to my favorite Dota 2 player of all time! :D PPY comes in a very, very close second. After all, NEW WORLD ORDEEEEEER!!

If you’re a fellow fan, swing by one of his social media pages and greet him, too, yes? :D

Rereading past AMAs and found this.

You can read the rest here.

RIP DK :(

I'll just leave this here and drive away the fact that one day, they're going to grow up and retire as players. 

ME: Dota 2 teams make me wonder what it's like to have five sons. Looks fun. HUSBAND: Looks fun... Until they get pissed enough to grab each other by the throat and punch each other in the face. The house will become a battle arena at some point.

7 kinds of drafters in Dota 2 captain’s mode pubs

I don't draft, but if I do, I'm a cross of the pushover and the meta worshipper. You?

[xairylle-dota-blog]

It has begun.

You're still my favorite player, KuroKy! Keep fighting!

Also, there seems to be a second (and possibly third?) announcement from Na'Vi.

Excuse me as I go to a corner and cry.

If Dota 2 was a college course, would you ace it?

I would probably do well in DOTA 103, enjoy DOTA 301, and then have 50-50 chance with other subjects. BUT I'D ENROLL IN IT ANYWAY.

Not sure if I've posted this before, but yeah. Old school. Credits to who owns these pictures. 

It's kind of overwhelming to think how big Dota has grown over the years. There were no $10 million tournaments back then. There wasn't a lot of money in the scene. Barely any money, in fact. And yet the players still kept on gathering and competing.

A lot of people today forget that the newer generation of players have veterans to idolize or learn from. The veterans and even the community back then didn't have veterans. Just themselves.

If you’re an open-minded adventurous MOBA fan looking to try out a new title, here are a few things to remember before stepping into that new realm.

Whether you’re finding a new MOBA game, or just looking for an alternative title to play while your favorite MOBA’s servers are down, one important thing to remember is to keep an open mind. If you truly believe that there is only one true MOBA to rule them all, that’s fine. Just don’t be mean to the people who think otherwise.

More retirees. 

[xairylle-dota-blog]

Well this looks like an interesting team. :3

Full details here.

Awwww~ This Na'Vi roster. I love seeing you guys together, but that doesn't seem to be what's best for you guys right now.  :( 

Sorry if the colors are bad, but I couldn't make them better.
