Chronicles - Dota 2, 2,000 Hours Later
With this year's International tournament breaking $10 million, Dota 2 and the ARTS genre continue to climb in popularity on the PC. While the title can present players with a high learning curve, the frenetic team vs. team gameplay can be immensely rewarding.
With multiple game modes to dive into and endless hero interactions, things remain intense match after match, game after game. I've sunk well over 2,000 hours into the game over the years and while I may take a break for days or weeks, always seem to return for one more round as a ghoulish knight on borrowed time or a misshapen tombstone-dropping aberration.
No game ever plays out quite the same, and the heated team battles and precise coordination involved have made it one of the most watchable eSports. Join Daniel Tack and Benjamin Reeves as they play through a full match of Dota 2 in this episode of Chronicles!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
