DOTA 2’s world championship, The International, saw the win and a $1.43 million first-place prize go to Alliance after an epic winner-takes-all match to close out the best of 5 final.

Building (Critical) Consensus: Dota 2
It’s been a couple of years since we first saw Dota 2 in the wild but we recently got the official full release of Dota 2 on Steam. Dota 2 is the sequel to the Warcraft III mod Defence of the Ancients (DotA) which is considered the first game in the MOBA genre.
I’ve not gotten into Dota 2 yet but now might be as good a time as any if you’re curious about Dota 2, MOBAs or one of the more popular e-sports in the industry right now. Seeing as Dota 2 is a free-to-play game that doesn’t try to gouge you at every opportunity, that puts it above the competition right from when you start it up.
