WHAT IS DOTA2?
Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena video game of epic proportions. Each match involves two teams, both containing five players and each occupying a stronghold at either end of the map. Located in each stronghold is a building called the Ancient; to win, a team must destroy the enemys Ancient. Each player controls a Hero character and focuses on leveling up, collecting gold, acquiring items and fighting against the other team to achieve victory. Dota 2 is the ultimate competitive e-sport because its great to watch and has a steep learning curve. The game has become the most played on Steam, with daily peaks of over 700,000 concurrent players. Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer, and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. Steam sells over 3,000 different games, and dominates over 75% of all PC game sales.

WHAT IS THE ROSHPIT?

There is a strategic objective on the Dota2 playing field called the Roshan pit. When one team engages the pit, the opposing team responds by converging on this point, resulting in exciting 5v5 teamfights. The Roshpit is a point of contention which alludes to the competition that takes place on the website. It also fits the Dota2 theme making it memorable and unique.

Dota 2 Players are usually tech savvy and educated individuals. They are competitive and skeptical. To become a major player in their community, your business must not only have a solid value proposition but also deep community involvement. Dota players also get bored very easily, so its important to run events and consistently add new features.
