Dota 2 made its first appearance to the public at Gamescom in 2011 with the inaugural International Championship (TI1).
The tournament became Valve’s premier esports tournament event, and the game was officially released on July 9, 2013, after two years of beta testing.
The MOBA title’s characters are split into three categories: intelligence, strength, and agility. They all possess incredible abilities and overwhelming ultimates that they can unleash to devastate their opponents.
