Dota 2~!

Hello guys. School holidays have started and my 6 days leave just started as well so I'd like to take this opportunity to update you on what's happening with the team now.

During the streaming of the first ever Dota 2 tournament few months ago, I happened to notice one advertisement of Steam about putting down my name to be able to play Dota 2. I did and a month ago I filled up one kind of survey that Steam asked to fill in order to be able to play Dota 2 and a week ago, I installed Dota 2!

Now here I am, with the game in my PC, and I also managed to give two of my EoG teammates, Dejamoon and iMkSeR, the chance to experience the game together. But oh how we did not expect it to be hard with the shops in the base being crammed into one, the graphics as elaborate as HoN is, and most of all, the delay of playing with other countries.

I hope after a few weeks of training we can somehow polish our Dota 2 skills and initiation to an extent of being able to terrorize enemies once more.

P/s: Quoting Dejamoon: "gimme a month, I'll be so pro in Dota 2" - let us see after a month what happens. :)

16 Months

Oh my god, it has been 16 (yes, six-effin'-teen) months since our last update. Sigh. I even forgot totally about the blog since we were no longer active in DotA scene.

But what now? There have been suggestions by the team captain, Dejamoon, on the idea of getting the boys back together. Shall we see the return of EoG? If yes, will we carry the same name or will we be competing with a new, perhaps, less cheesy name? How will the roster looks like and is there any chance of oldtimers such as Putih or CaPiQ getting back in the team? Stay tune for the updates folks.

Most of EoG players watched the live streaming of DotA 2 and frankly speaking, the game seems awesome in every aspect, except of course, the sudden upgrade of the graphics rendering all teamfights look exactly like HoN! We explored the idea of playing DotA 2 later - of course how much it will cost will have a significant effect on whether we are going to play the game or not.

Some bonus replays for you guys to feast on.

Replay 1 (1.24e)
Replay 2 (1.26a)

Cheers.
