2.Install the Game.

application from steam. Take note that you would need to have atleast
8GB available space in your storage device so the downloading of DotA 2
would probably be 8GB or higher.
3. Play the game.
OKAY, play the game is pretty plain. But
that's all there is too it. I mean go take the tutorial, it would
basically teach you the basic mechanics of the game. It is basic
to differentiate enemies from team mates and heroes from creeps. Main
rule is survive and win the game, kill or help your allies kill an enemy
hero and destroy the ancient. There are a lot of factors that you would
be able to understand and improve overtime and you may have some
questions on how to become better and some would even rush, well that's
good that's one of the main reasons why is set-up my blog. But if you
quit after a few games because you lost badly or can quite catch the
gameplay. You haven't played the game yet, by definition you need to
enjoy or have pleasure on your activity to be able to say that you are
playing. DONT GIVE-UP every one started from the bottom like you. You
can watch your games, research some moves and tips for your favorite
hero and try it out. Who knows you might win a TI championship someday.
