Faster Decision Making


Dota is designed to give the players surprises with fog of war between the two
teams. You will pick a hero for yourself, and try to gain experience and gold by
killing the enemy creeps or neutral creeps. Ultimately, you will reach your desired
level and have all the essential items to finish the game. Yet, it sounds easy but it
is more difficult when you play against other players who may have more gaming
experience than you. Every move you make will affect the outcome of the game.

and bring victory to your team.

Dota is a strategy game that requires cooperation from the teammates in which it
significantly determines the outcome of the game. Players can communicate via
microphones or chat window to bring their strategies together in order to win the
game. This communication creates a social connection that, in turn, increases
the value of relationships. On the other hand, new players make friends, others
see it as a good hang-out opportunity.

After a long day at work, playing a game or a few games can significantly reduce
your stress. No matter if you win or lose, you will find something familiar and
satisfying from playing Dota. Researchers claim that violent game that relies on
high decision making skill can reduce depression, hostile feelings through mood
managements.
4. Career Boost
Indeed, Dota 2 has gone viral since Gabe Newell, the founder and managing
director at Valve Corporations, decided to throw in US$1.6 million dollars for a
Dota 2 tournament in 2011 called The International. Sixteen teams, 80 players,
competed against other teams to take the prize. Na`vi was the first team that took
home US$1 million dollars, the 4th team, MYM, took home $80,000. This year
The International 7 gives away US$20 million dollars in the total prize pool, and
whichever team comes first will receive roughly US$9 million dollars. The good
news is that the 16th team will also receive about US$100,000. However, there
are other majors within a year with million of dollars worth for everyone to claim.

as your career.
