We’ve known for a good few months now that Valve want to supplement The International, the annual Dota 2 eSports spectacle, with three smaller tournaments known as The Majors. Just last month, more details surfaced on the first of these three events, but beyond dates for qualifiers, and the fact that the tournament would take place in Europe in November, not much was known. That’s no longer the case, finally, as Valve have now announced ‘The Frankfurt Major’.

There's a new strategy to winning games. Lose hard, make sure you know the tournament rules, and enforce them after the game. Should we accept this?

YouPorn have added a new Dota 2 team to their eSport department. The new squad debuted at the ESL-One New York qualifiers this weekend. How did they do? Not that well...

Dota 2 has received a massive overhaul. Grab the update now, and expect a ton of improvements to Valve's popular MOBA!

Stop telling your friends that MOBAs are clones of eachother, and rather educate them on the difference between the lot. This will hopefull help out a bit.

The Reborn beta has been around for a good few months now, giving Valve ample time to tinker around and tune up the future Dota 2 engine. Have you been holding out on trying it out? You won’t have a choice for much longer it seems, because it looks like Reborn will be officially launching this week.

Want to make even more money by playing Dota 2 than usual? Well this tournament might just make you a little bit glad that the Rand/Dollar exchange rate is so sad.

The International is done and dusted. The annual tournament saw Evil Geniuses come out on top to claim over $6 million in prize money! We’re now done with large-scale competitive Dota 2 for the year, right? Nope.
