What does a hero truly need?

Hi all,
Couldn't stop myself from posting the tantalizing trailer :P

Void looks good.

Noob Pudge misses hook. :P

Night Stalker looks amazing! (Scared!)

Sand Kind is nice

Lina lost hotness :(

DK vs Viper was epic!

Gonna watch live the tournament on http://www.dota2.com/ :D

Terrorblade's Revenge - Movie

A great great movie over the complete life of Terror-blade! How a son of the elves joined the dark side and how not getting your love rips apart the soul.

Even non-dota players can watch! Emotional dota players can cry. :_) ! DO NOT MISS !

TB is my favorite hero for some while now :)

2011 Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami

Hi everyone,

It feels good to write back to all of you but this time, it is not regarding DotA.

As we all know, a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan on March 11 (JST) causing damage with blackouts, fire, tsunami and now a threat of radiation from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant looms large.

There are not many ways in which we can contribute to the help the affected people but yes, I see two of these:

1. Donate! - The easiest positive action anyone can take. Those who have got enough green notes in their pockets, please go ahead and spare as much as you can. From the others, I request to please sacrifice 1 hour of paid gaming and a drink for the cause. Click this link to donate via Google Checkout

2. Don't spread rumors! - If you can't take a positive action, at least don't spread negativity. A fake email/sms stating "BBC Flash news: Japan Government confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuclear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions." has been let loose primarily in Phillippines. Requesting you all not to indulge in spreading news you're not sure off. (BBC News: Radiation text message is fake)

That's it for now. Hope to talk back to you people soon. :)

Regards,

Phoenix

SMM & the new Blog Layout

Hello everyone. I know it's kinda late to talk about the long ago changed theme of the blog and almost a week after the SMM is over, but I needed to share the credits and talk about the most awaited tournament of the year some-time.

First of all, the blog theme is "Picture Window" provided by Blogger itself. The background is a little customized version of the DotA 2 wallpaper by Warchamp7 @ playdota.com

1920x1080 [Mirror]

1280x1024

There were some other awesome wallpapers which though unsuitable for the blog but, I know will be loved by many, again from the graphic designers @ playdota.
