Defends of the Ancients(DotA) is definitely a hands-on game.. Listening to theories may more or less help a little but the only way to improve or to understand the game is through practical..
DotA has more or less transformed over the past 3 years.. Its like a bird transforming into a phoenix.. From a boring and dull game, it changed into a game which is being played in a global stage.. Everyone country is playing DotA.. However, a popular game like this is not being selected into World Cyber Games(WCG)..
I think that it is every gamers' dreams to get to play in WCG.. It is the biggest stage out there for all gamers.. Sadly enough, DotA was never in the plan.. However, players are not discouraged as there are all sorts of competition being held in every country.. Examples of recent competitions are -- Singapore: Gaming Xtreme League, Moscow: ASUS Autum Tournament and Sweden: Dreamhack Hack Winter 2007.. Although these are continental competition, there will be several overseas team that will be flying to that particular country just to play in the competition.. This shows how passionate DotA players are..
For now, the biggest stage available to DotA players is the Asian Cyber Games(ACG).. You can see from the name, this competition only involves asian players.. DotA has been going on in this competition for 3 years but sadly Singapore has yet to win the ACG title..
For today's ending, information of the Dream Hack Winter 2007 will be shown by going to this website: http://www.dotasg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1832

When I first see your blog, I thought that there will be game demos; you know, these always interest readers more.
Your blog is interesting though. It talks about details about DOTA, and also listed the competitions in the world of DOTA, which I only get to know WCG.
dota? what is the most interesting part in the game. why are everyone playing this game.
Why do you think some games are chosen over others for the world games?
to neng: I think the most interesting part of this game is the team play.. Combination of various heros will make a big difference and may sometimes also turn the tide
to newmediascapes: I think the main reason is the popularity of the games played in terms of professionalism.. When there are more players going pro in a specific game, that particular game will then be put into consideration
