This week we dive into the battlegrounds of DOTA 2.
Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Valve Corporation. The game is a sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), which was a community-created mod for Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne. Dota 2 is played in matches between two teams of five players, with each team occupying and defending their own separate base on the map. Each of the ten players independently controls a powerful character, known as a “hero”, who all have unique abilities and differing styles of play. During a match, players collect experience points and items for their heroes to successfully defeat the opposing team’s heroes in player versus player combat. A team wins by being the first to destroy the other team’s “Ancient”, a large structure located within their base.

We got in touch with Viren ‘Hawkie’ Dias to figure out how Indomitus keep winning.
Q: Over the past few tournaments we’ve seen you play with alternating rosters. Will we seeing a stable roster anytime soon?
A:Well, the team isn’t currently active as there has been a lull in tournaments, plus I have been a little burnt out after all the marathon practice sessions leading up to the Acer tournament in February.However, there should be a tournament coming up towards the end of this month and we’ll probably discuss it among ourselves and announce a roster shortly
Q: What makes helps you to constantly stay on top?
A:Well, it’s a mixture of keeping up to date with the meta and staying in form. You do this regularly playing ranked matchmaking, reading patch notes and watching pro games. And then when it comes closer to tournaments, you scrim daily.
.
Q:How much time do you commit to practicing?
A:Up to 4 hours a day on weekdays and up to 8 hours a day on weekends depending on work and other life commitments. Ideally you want to be playing more if you’re really serious and want to go pro. But hey, life.
Q: How did Indomitus come into being?
A:Well that question would be better posed to some of the older members of the team since I wasn’t around when it was originally formed. However, I can tell you about how I joined Indomitus.
As you well know, I was in Thé Kadé for a very long time before this. It was originally a team of friends, but as time went on life caught up and several of our friends became inactive. Eventually, it was just down to 2 of the original members: Mirsab and myself. With Mirsab being unable to attend a lot of the local tournaments as he was in Malaysia, I decided it was time to put Thé Kadé to rest, and I considered retiring myself as well.
That was when Muntha approached me and convinced me to join Indomitus to play SLCG 2017.
Q:What do you think your strengths and weaknesses are
A: Strengths – we’re a good team.
Weaknesses – we’re not a great team
