MOBAs arrived as a popular genre back in 2011, but their origins can be traced back to the late ‘90s. A popular StarCraft map called Aeon of Strife is often quoted as the original MOBA. Instead of players controlling multiple units and the structures with which to build more, players controlled just a single hero unit and fought alongside a number of lesser AI-controlled units. The map is just three lanes, with the AI-controlled units battling in each one to a standstill (usually). It's up to the player-controlled heroes to turn the tide and ultimately destroy the enemy's b
Growing up, Rising Storm Azar was more of a reader than a warrior, much to the disappointment of his father, the emperor of Shurima. When a series of tragic events took his brothers, Azir became the unlikely heir to the throne. Azir unfittingly tried to endure the Ascension ritual which he would awake from thousands of years later with the power to wield the sands of Shur
Kayn is a male warrior who battles to take his place as leader of the Order of Shadow. He holds one of the sentient weapons of the Darkin, which he snuggles with as it tried to consume his body and m
As with LoL , Dota2 also got into eSports in a big way. The International, Dota2 's annual global tournament, began with a prize pool of just $1.6 million. By 2019, The International’s prize pool had grown to over $31 million--the largest offering of any esports tournament in hist
Two movies in particular, Shang-Chi and Eternals , certainly turned heads when they were announced, and not necessarily because they've been in high demand. On the contrary, both are lesser-known properties whose titular characters only have a limited presence in the comics. Neither have the name recognition of an A-list hero or team. Shang-Chi and Eternals lack the popularity of their fellow MCU her
Though OG didn’t find consistent Dota 2 success throughout 2019, one player among their ranks powered them to victory at the biggest tournament of the year. Then-19-year-old Anathan "ana" Pham returned to OG in March after an extended hiatus. With ana back on the roster, OG began their climb back to peak form. They qualified for the MDL Disneyland Paris Major, and placed 5-6th at the main event. They then competed in ESL One Birmingham and the EPICENTER Major, placing 7-8th at both tournaments. The International 2019 arrived, and OG immediately exerted their dominance over their group stage opponents. To much surprise, ana played Io, traditionally a support hero, in the carry position. With that out-of-the-box pick, OG were able to top the group stage and secure a play-offs upper bracket berth. OG then took down Evil Geniuses, PSG.LGD, and Team Liquid to become the first team to ever win The International tw
Marvel fans are eagerly anticipating the next Spider-Man movie, especially since it once looked as if the wall-crawler was being completely cut out of the MCU. There's also a fair bit of hype surrounding Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder , which will have Natalie Portman's Jane Foster pick up the hammer. Black Widow is generating interest as well, but there's a feeling from some that the movie has come too l
Like Marvel, DC only has two films coming in 2020: Bird of Prey (and the Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and Wonder Woman 1984 . 2021 will see Robert Pattinson become the next actor to bring the Caped Crusader to the big screen in Matt Reeves' The Batman . Also coming to theaters in 2021 from DC Films is Black Adam , with Dwayne Johnson as the titular hero, and James Gunn's The Suicide Squad sequel. DC's plans for 2022 include DC Super Pets and Aquaman
Today, few companies are looking to create a new MOBA. Dota2 's player count has been on a slow, steady decline while League of Legends' has mostly plateaued. Riot Games still reports LoL ’s player count as an ever-growing number , one can only assume that’s due to greater international penetration as well as longtime players creating secondary or "smurf" accou
