It's impossible to talk about either of these games without mentioning the competitive scene surrounding them. Both titles have highlighted some of the biggest events in gaming history. Few are bigger than The International -- the annual Lol world atlas championship for Dota 2 with increasingly obscene amounts of money on the l

Dota started the MOBA genre and trend for a good reason and that's because its map was incredibly straightforward to understand. Stairs made for clear pathways, the foliage was all extremely large and explicit, and there were few obstacles that would make it hard to see what's going on on your scr

The first day will feature five rounds, and will narrow down the 24 competitors down to 16. Lobbies will be determined by players' performances in their regional qualifiers. The second day will also feature five rounds, narrowing down the competitors from 16 to 8. The third and final day will feature rounds where players race to earn the most points . The first player to secure a win after accumulating 18 points will be declared the TFT Fates Champ

The real kicker is that Teemo can store up to five charges of Noxious Trap, and mushrooms can even bounce forward if they land on top of another. This usually means that Teemo leaves fields of Noxious Traps absolutely everywhere and they can be extremely difficult to av

Every game needs to have a rollout plan at launch. The plan that the developers have set in place is to introduce two new champions to the game each month. This might seem like a steep order on top of fixing whatever bugs or issues come up in the mobile vers

This effect was powerful for those who were good at Rengar, but players who weren't as capable of getting kills were usually just forced to play Rengar without a passive effect whatsoever. As a result, it was cut and replaced with a stealth mechanic to help him stand out, with the Necklace stacks instead applying to Rengar himself instead of an i

Andy Dinh is an esports player who managed to get the first Pentakill in competitive play with his Gragas. As a player and a coach, Reginald is known for his temper which eventually led to him being nicknamed Ragein

They were hardly the original MOBA though, as Dota 2 is the true originator of the genre before its many imitators. From its roots as a Warcraft mod to its modern-day competitive scene, this game has seen just as much growth. But it's hard to tell if this original game is as good as its most successful follo

Throughout the first few weeks of March, players have been competing in regional qualifiers to determine who will get a spot at the Championship. Each region can allow a certain amount of players to compete, with the most competitors coming from Europe (6), China (5), and North America (4). The Korean region is able to send three players, Brazil and Latin America are each able to send two, and Japan and Oceania are each able to send one pla

This ability for the map to change in color, style, and shape was a magnificent upgrade for those who don't enjoy the stale base of Summoner's Rift. Having more or fewer walls or sometimes more foliage can also be a huge boon for different strategies. The game goes infinitely deeper in a direction few MOBAs tend to

League of Legends went in the exact opposite direction quite fast with new skins and characters fitting all kinds of aesthetics besides the medieval fantasy theme it's rooted in. Everything from pirates to ghosts and even interdimensional rift monsters fill the incredibly large roster of champions. Each and every match feels even more diverse for

One of the biggest questions often asked with lateral game moves is how much will a game cost to play. Fortunately for fans,Wild Rift will be free just like its base game. But there are still several microtransactions for players to spend their money

It is quite a bummer for those who have put money into their PC account. But in reality, there is no way to connect them where it would be fair to all players. However, they are apparently giving PC players some sort of reward based on how many years they have been an active pla

Any mid lane main who has played for 6+ years will remember the infamous Deathfire Grasp item. A staple for assassin-type mid champions like Ahri or Leblanc, this item provided an extreme boost to ability power. However, it also had a truly over-powered activateable abil

With the recent item overhaul, it's easy to forget that many champions have also gotten serious changes due to their passives being related to their build. Viktor is perhaps the biggest recent example with his upgradable Hex Core item now being removed entirely for an ability upgrade system based around killing minio

As part of his Guerilla Warfare abilities, Teemo is also granted momentary invisibility when inside the brush, as long as he remains within its boundaries. Players should be careful not to recall in an area where Teemo could be hiding, lest they find themselves getting ambus
