Everyone’s had a few days to begin adjusting to the many changes brought to Dota by patch 7.23 and it’s subsequent small tweaking patches. With the conclusion of the qualifiers for the DreamLeague Season 13 and the WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020, we’re able to get a first look at many interesting adaptations made by pro players for this new competitive environment.

Professional Dota has it all: amazing plays, pro's with an interesting backstory, drama, success, hate, friendship. Our Position 6 host Daniel Offen took a closer look at how drama can add to storylines and the excitement of games.

The qualifiers for the WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020 continue and brought another participant: Geek Fam. For South America, the battle is still not over.

In the first few tournaments in the DPC 2019/20 season, Asian teams kick off strong. China has always counted as one of the most fearful regions in the scene and SEA seems to catch up. However, one country has been missing in the competitive environment: Japan.

The long awaited Outlanders patch was finally released, bringing sweeping changes that Dota fans everywhere have been clamouring for since TI. The most impactful of these changes, the introduction of jungle creep exclusive “neutral items” which drop naturally as you farm, will dictate much of how the game is played on the new patch.
