DOTA: Dragon's Blood - Book 1

Defense of the Ancients - I still remember that mod for Warcraft III (FeelsOldMan), however, I never would have thought at the time that it would become a successful standalone game that would start the whole massive MOBA craze. I even watched some of those DOTA 2 competitions at one point. If it is played by someone who actually knows what they are doing then it can be quite entertaining to watch, even though the concept may seem terribly simple at first glance. It is like team (which is probably why I was never really into the game, personally) chess (or perhaps it is more like that game where you push each other), where the individual's skill is actually the deciding factor. Oh, and it has also been around a long time, during which DOTA has been taken over by the slightly more colorful League of Legends, so it is, therefore, necessary for them to reach new players, and I think that is why we have this show now. I imagine real fans of the game are going to like this show a lot even though I personally do not know much about the lore around the characters, and I can only remember a few of them. True aficionados are going to be able to recognize the various abilities of the characters in the game and discover and name some of the passives and the ultimates. I think they are just going to enjoy it a lot more than I did. For those less fortunate, those who do not know much about this TV series or DOTA lore, it will probably only feel like an average good-looking fantasy show. I personally appreciate that the characters are anything but black and white and that many of them are endearingly complicated. That is why I found this TV series often surprising. So even though I really do not know much about DOTA, this advertisement appealed to me, entertained me, intrigued me, and even though it probably is not going to get me to play the game again after all these years, I would still happily watch more of the show and enjoy some of that additional lore they added that probably was not in the game... 6.6/10.
