A greeting Gamers today I bring a guide for those who are not familiar with the genre ARTS (Real-time action strategy) or also better known as the genre MOBA that translates (Multiplayer online battle arena) more specifically I will start talking about one Of the most important games at this time in the world of eSports "Dota 2" this game consists of a 5 vs 5 on a map named Dota. Called thus from its first version translating "Defense of the Ancestors"
Knowing the world Dota 2. The game has two factions one called Radiant and another called Dire.
Radiant: Radiant are located at the bottom of the map with a lively style and leafy trees.

Dire: They are located at the top of the map with rocky areas dead trees without vegetation.

It divides a river that passes through the whole half of the map.

It has 3 paths or paths in the two factions commonly called Top, Mid and Bot
- Top: Located at the top of each faction.
- Mid: Located in the central part of the map.
- Bot: Located at the bottom.

Each of these paths are protected by 3 towers each, they avoid that the enemy passes easily, calls in game tier 1 referring to the first tier 2 tower to the second tower, and tier 3 to the third tower, but the second And third tower can not be destroyed without having collapsed the first and second consecutively so with the following structures.
Creeps, Neutral and Ancestral Within the game there are creatures called creeps, neutral creeps and ancestral creeps.
- Creeps: These creatures automatically appear in the 0:00 minute within the game in the 3 tracks of the two factions and then every 30 seconds another wave comes out, these are facing the enemy creeps Radiant vs Dire

- Neutral creeps: These creatures appear in the second 0:30 in the so-called camp that are located in the different radiant zones and dire within the map, these give experience and gold just like the creeps, if they are destroyed and after every minute 1:00 appear again.

- Ancestral creeps: Like neutrals appear in the second 0:30 but these possess much more damage and life so it is quite difficult to kill them at the beginning of the game, they give more gold and experience than other creatures.

It is a monster located in the middle of the river in the upper part, with greater life and damage compared to the neutral and ancestral creeps recommended to kill among several players, to die this drop two items one called Aegis of the immortal that allows the bearer that when he dies, be resurrected after 5 seconds in the same place where he died and with life and mana to full, and another item called cheese that allows you to restore 2500 life points and 1500 mana points. This also gives experience and gold upon dying.
Aegis of the immortal
Runes and Shrine
- Runes There are two types of runes one gives you experience and gold are located in two different parts of radiant and two in dire and leave in the second 0:00 and then every 2 minutes and the other gives you benefits: speed, damage Double, illusion, invisibility, or arcane rune, these are located in the river being that every two minutes leaves 1 in a random place between two points.
- Shrine This regenerate a percentage of life and mana to be activated, can be used at 5:00 min and after being regenerated in 5 minutes these are at the base of each faction and two on two sides of the radiant map and Other two in dire.
Hero
Currently in Dota 2 there are 113 hero each of them has different abilities with pro and cons regarding their opponents are characterized by having 1 attribute each one of them that comes by default these are Force, Agility, Intelligence,
- Strength: This is attributed to the life and regeneration of the hero.
- Agility: Attributes physical damage and attack speed.
- Intelligence: Attributes to the regeneration and amount of mana possessed by the hero.
There are several types of roles for each hero created for a better team collaboration, are:
Support: They are heroes that are relatively easy to kill in battle, but have abilities with high damage to enemies, help with items to expand the field of view. "Guardian Observer" or "Guardian Sentinel" also buy the donkey or courier at the beginning of the game that is in charge of moving the items from the base to the hero are also in charge of supporting the carry on the line so you can raise your level and get items much faster and more effective
Carry / Carrier: A hero who at the beginning of the game does not generate much damage, but over time his abilities and items make him a devastating hero for the opponent, this one is responsible for assassinating other heroes very easily.
Initiator: Hero in charge of starting a TF "Team Figth" is the one who takes the initiative to attack first because of his abilities can already be tough or elusive.
Jungler: These types of heroes are those who at the beginning of the game do not take a path but instead go to the forest jungle to forest are resistant from the start and this allows them to be equipped faster additional That their experience increases very fast by eliminating neutral and ancestral creeps.
Offlaner: Hero who is alone in a line in the case of radiant the path to which he must go is top and dire the line of offlaner is bot, this because they are lines with a greater degree of difficulty, this hero must be slippery the tough one.
Items Currently Dota 2 has 148 items 65 basic items and 83 improvements the basic items combine to form item improvement. There are also different stores within the map that serve to acquire them not all are in a single store is the main store, the secret store "which is not so secret" and the side stores.
Next, I will mention 3 fundamental items in the game, the ideal Is that these items are purchased by the suport of the game.
Courier: It is an animal that is bought with 100 gold this carries a maximum of 9 items in its slots and these are taken to the hero who bought the items in the different stores of the map, this animal courier can be improved by buying one Recipe that costs 150 gold allows you to fly with what moves faster
Guardian Observer: An observant plant invisible before the eyes of the enemy that has a price of 60 gold and is acquired in the main store this gives a view on the area where it is placed, lasts for 6 minutes after this disappears returning the vision Normal map.
Sentinel Guardian: An invisible plant that reveals invisible units, or watchful guards or sentries has a cost in the main tent of each faction of 100 gold each lasts 4 minutes after it disappears.
Purpose of the game: The objective of the game is to destroy the last structure of each faction the Ancestor Dire, or Radiant depending on which faction you are.
This is a first part above knowing what is the world of Dota 2, I need to make an analysis if the idea is striking to the gamer world to continue talking about mechanical heroes and strategies if you have a good reception each day publish content related to dota 2. It is worth mentioning that in a few days to be more exact it starts "The International of Dota 2" on August 7, 2017 with a prize pool so far of $ 21,817,381 USD the largest prize raised in the world of eSports with respect to the previous international Which raised $ 20,770,460 USD.
