Representing team Pakistan as well. Go on mate!

Kids should spend more time playing dota, instead of doing their homeworks.

And people told me playing games will amount to nothing. HA

Volkama3187d ago

And they're right.

They would have been wrong if they said it to him though.

SunnyZ3187d ago

HAHAHA man, he's gonna need a skin graft after that epic 3rd degree BURN!

scark923187d ago

I would say Challenge Accepted but I don't think the world needs another Pewdiepie.

I wonder if they'll be any stories about parents that take all the money from their kids... similar to the stories about parents of some child actors.

either way its impressive

They had a segment on SportsCenter last night talking about the total purse and the payout to the winners.

Total Purse - 18 million with 6.6 million to the winners...

More than the champion of the Masters (golf)
More than the champion of Wimbledon (tennis)

The total purse and winner payout was 2nd only to The World Series of Poker

regardless if you think it's a sport or not... they're getting paid!!!

Valve: 'Smurfing Is Not Welcome In Dota', Bans 90,000 Accounts

Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.

Fist4achin240d ago

Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.

sadraiden240d ago

Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.

Fist4achin240d ago

Makes sense and cents for Valve. Thanks

franwex239d ago (Edited 239d ago )

Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?

It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.

SegaSaturn669239d ago

This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
