E-Sports is a community for gamers which played some games for example Dota 2 , Counter Strike: Global Offensive , League of Legends and many more .. Most people thinks that gaming give bad effect to human beings who keep facing computers .. They think it's a waste of time .. Most parents tell their child playing computer that is like wasting your time doing nothing and cannot be a work for you .. But E-Sports proves that is not the truth .. E-Sports games for example Dota 2 have build a lot of international players which proves that Dota 2 can be a work for people who can reach professional standard . There's lots of people have talents playing games but their talent aren't known by others and their talent just wasted by like that . For my opinion , we need to improve E-Sports in our country .. There's a lot of ways to get talented people .. Examples , we can host tournaments and get some talented players .. From there , we can train them to become stronger and stronger .. Examples of international players that have earned lots of money from just playing games which is Mushi ( Chai Yee Fung ) which is currently representing Malaysia to compete in the international of Dota 2 .. Besides that , Dendi ( Danil Ishutin ) is also a professional gamer which have earned a lot of money from playing in the international .. They prove that E-Sports can be a work for those who can reach professional standards .
My experience on E-Sports ..
I haven't played much game of E-Sports yet .. But I've tried Dota 2 which have the biggest prize pool in E-Sports which is more than 18 million USD .. Dota 2 have 110 heroes which is distributed into Agility , Strength and Intelligence .. Agility have higher attack speed , strength have more health and intelligent have more mana .. Every stats have different speciality .. Every hero have 4 skills or more than that .. Every hero have own speciality .. There's 5 position in Dota 2 .. Position 1 means that they have the highest priority for levels and golds on your team ..This is called " Hard Carry " .. Heroes that fall into this category are the most item and level dependent on your team .. They deal a ton of damage later in the game and generally build towards damage and survivability .. Position 2 means that they have the second most need for gold and levels . The reason can vary , but in general they should be farming any lane that isn't occupied by your position 1 .. The position 2 is a mid laner which generally builds towards initiation and survivability items , though some heroes benefit from damage items as well ..Position 3 is the third most farm dependent on your team , generally build towards team fight/ support items such as Pipe , Drum or initiation items . Position 3 is generally item dependent for most damage .. Position 3 is called offlaner .. Position 4 are secondary support on the team , the position 4 will build towards the cheaper team fight items like Drum or Meka ( If offlaner didn't make so ) .. Position 4 helps on pure support items such as wards , smoke , dust and when the position 5 cannot afford it ..Position 5 is the support that uses money on pure support items such as wards , smoke , dust and sometimes regen and teleport for position 1 - 2 heroes . It is not uncummon to see a position 5 hero purchase nothing more than a boots and awand for themselves the entire game .There's nothing called strongest hero in Dota 2 .. It's just that if you know how to control the hero nicely , you can be powerful using that hero .. Dota 2 community are friendly too ..
From here , I hope more people know about E-Sports and have interest in it ..
