Yasuo easily becomes a fan-favorite for his mobility and capacity to dominate the late game. Unfortunately, he tends to be vulnerable against crowd control. However, mastering Yasuo enables him to solo lanes and farm easily. For instance, his Passive - Way of the Wanderer allows him to generate Flow as he travels, which he can expend to get a massive shield for a sec
Last Saturday, OG revealed that the carry god himself, Anathan "Ana," Pham would be taking an extended break and coming back next season. OG stated that Ana would be returning for the Dota Pro Circuit season of 2020-2021 to play as OG's front line carry posit
Subsequently, OG also revealed their first out of lane branching team named OG CS: GO, which is comprised of the best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players in the world. The team's most recent accomplishment was way back in December, wherein the team placed third and pocketed $21.5 thousand. A new front may be in the making for
Additionally, Q - Disintegrate fires a simple firebolt... except it gives Annie half-cooldown and the entire mana cost if Q becomes the last hit. Meanwhile, W - Incinerate unleashes a cone of fire to enemies. Pesky attackers won't stand a chance with E - Molten Shield, which wraps Annie in a shield of flame. Lastly, Ult - Summon Tibbers literally transforms Tibbers, Annie's teddy bear, into a demonic bear mons
OG has made numerous headlines recently with their roster changes, so much that it makes fans fear for the future of its adored Dota 2 team. With Anathan "Ana" Pham taking an extended break and Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka retiring from the professional scene, it makes people wonder what's going to happen to OG. But with OG Seed and OG CS: GO being newly introduced, this could mean a new chapter for the esteemed organizat
Draven players love his ADC potential thanks to his innate abilities. He boasts great burst damage coupled with great movespeed, although players have a hard time juggling and positioning. His Passive - League of Draven allows him to gain stacks when he kills anything, and extra gold for turn-based Combat strategy killing Champi
In the past, Ana has had problems trying to find himself. He's gone through thick and thin to find the passion of playing Dota 2 after winning the International 2018 and has pushed himself over his mental limits. It was because of his strive to be the player OG needed that he shined at the next big tournament, which was the International 2019. Although JerAx never expressed the same issues during both Internationals, his interview with OG has filled out the blanks of his retirem
After being deemed worthy by the Arbiter, Tyari becomes "The Traveler," and is the first confirmed transgender character within the League of Legend s canon, no longer using he/him pronouns. Like Cithria, this story serves to inspire and is very satisfying when learning of its conclusion. Tyari has traveled far to become the person she always knew that she
Alright, that heading is a bit of an exaggeration, but Phoenix is the character to have received the most significant nerfs in this patch. The three main changes are that Fire Spirits has had its cooldown increased from 45/40/35/30 to 51/44/37/30, leaving the ability virtually unchanged in the late game but more difficult to spam in the early g
Riven fans love this Champion for her mobility and capability to punish entire teams during late-game. Unfortunately, despite her easy-to-use (almost predictable) nature, she can become difficult to master. Her Passive - Runic Blade gives her charges whenever she uses an ability, all of which enhances her autoatta
For instance, her E - Flame Breath amplifies the damage of her basic attacks. As such, this skill serves as a great pair for Q - Twin Bite, which combines two basic attacks at once. Her W - Burnout also gives constant damage-over-time. Not to mention, her Ultimate - Dragon's Descent transforms Shyvana into a literal dragon that knocks back enemies and gives Shyvana an edge anywhere on the
In the returning Nexus Blitz game mode, there are bonus tasks for one specific Spirit Blossom champion during a random event that occurs every few minutes. Note that each one awards 3 favor upon completion for that champ
Garen serves as a reliable Tank for both beginners and veteran players. Thanks to Passive - Perseverance, Garen has boosted health regeneration, enabling newbies to tinker with combos. While Garen struggles against ranged combatants, he can easily punish Champions in me
While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumed masked man from the teas
Overall, without innovative and creative performances from OG's full active roster from 2018, Dota 2 could be more of a lackluster eSport than its ever been. Mainly because playing Dota 2 is a puzzle, and it's always different, but the guidelines for playing it are still the same. What OG did was completely go beyond that and create their own guidelines, for example, Topson plays absurd heroes for mid lane, Ana abuses his opponents as IO core, and Ceb takes a break when his team fights and then Axe calls. Together they made a team of unpredictability and top-tier skill, both of which are the ingredients to making history. So without the unquestionability of how an event will progress or turnout, it leaves the world disappointed that Dota 2 may never get as significant as it did when OG owned the professional scene. However, there is still hope. OG will play at ESL One Los Angeles Major Qualifier for a spot in the third Major of the sea
