7 reasons Why i STOPPED DOTA
in case you didn’t know (if you don’t have a clue , you have some serious outdated problem)
DOTA stands for
Defense of the Ancients

Basically , DOTA is THE ULTIMATE ego game for guys
Don’t believe me? walk right up to a DOTA player and tell him ..”dude , seriously i think you very noob lor , you should have bought this and then go use bla bla bla”
watch the emotional reaction *warning! very emotional!*..basically..the keyword is NOOB NOOB NOOB .Yeah , so if you like pissing people off , you know what to do.
So anyway , a lil bit of my background , i was a hardcore DOTA player..back in 2004? Especially version 5.84c
yeap ..totally stopped DOTA on early 2006′ . why ? DOTA was screwing up my life . Here are the 7 reasons
1.Dota is like a Religion
Whenever you join a game …and you have enough players to start a game …everybody types .“GO” “go go go” …the Host types ” ready? ” 5…4….3…2…1..START GAME
Basically..all the 10 of you are saying the same prayer
“Oh Dota God .i humbly lay my sacrifice before you. Thou art mighty . I shall Commit this 1 an a half Hour to thee. I will only concentrate and worship thee ,
Even if my Girlfriend call , or my best friend is in trouble , or my Mom goes to hospital , i will ignore them for thy GAME is awesome . I shall cancel every phone call and commit to only you, almighty DOTA
Even if i feel like peeing or shitting . i will HOLD IT ON for you almighty DOTA until my commitment and sacrifice of 1 an a half hour is over .”

do you know that..in 1 an a half hour . ANYTHING could happen ?
what If , your-very-important-Client calls you and he wants to make a quick purchase …which is gonna pay for your cost-of-expensive-girlfriend this month?
what If your DREAMgirl calls you and she wants to arrange a date with you?
What if your BEST FRIEND met an accident and he needs help ?
What if your Girlfriend is feeling down and she needs someone
..events that could change your life , might happen in that short period of time
When you pick up a phone call during a DOTA game , you group members will start shouting at you . what a tough situation you put yourself into eh ?
2.Stress and Pressure
Many many years ago , when Counter-strike was still “in” ….Counter strike was FUN . you laugh , you friendly fire your friend , you buy stupid guns ..Basically , it was a stress relief
When you are stressful , try some half life , CS or Quake …it really helps
BUT DOTA ? NO .not at all…you put yourself in a “I HAVE TO PAWN” situation . When you are stressful cause of your boss , or your girlfriend …
Don’t DOTA !! first you have 2 parties sounding you (girlfriend and BOSS) , now you have 3 parties ( girlfriend , BOSS , DOTA teammates) . yay ! More stress for you
i am gonna open a cyber cafe soon , this is my signboard . what you guys think ?
3.Health
Are your sleeping hours between 3am-6am ? Do you get enough sleep for work the next morning ? I know i used to play DOTA til 5am in the morning ..
Eh dude , you above 20 years old ? you should be damn worried about hair loss problem ..
bad sleeping times , not enough sleep and stress are one of the main causes for hair loss . and yeah , hair loss problem usually starts once you touch your 20′s .
Also the reason why , College kids dye their hair blonde , After a while when they hit their 20s , they realized in the bathroom , bathroom mirror to be exact ..”Oh shit , why am i seeing my scalp” ..suddenly their hair turns back to their natural black color

4.Friends
Before year 2000 , there are only 2 reasons why brothers kill brothers
1.Money
2.Chicks
now , 2008 .3 Reasons
1.Money
2.Chicks
3.DOTA
Expect loads of politics , conflicts and shouting at each other with your BEST FRIENDS in a DOTA game .

okay , i am the guy on the right . YAHHH!!
5.Ego
Fact : ALL HARDCORE DOTA players has a very big ego .
There was once , my and my teammates got owned by another team . yeah fine we lost, they were better players, okay . Later we found out that they were some 13-14 years old random kids .OMG
Hey man , Now or days , Kids can really GAME . Even last time , counterstrike era , one of the most memorable players was FMJ-Jackel and he is some 14 years old kid .
So , the feeling of getting your ass whoop by kids , hurts the ego .pain
playing DOTA when you are old , give kids the opportunity to whoop your ass . and the kids will start typing “shame shame , lose to small kid” yeah..that seriously pisses you off ,
fact:
deep inside you wanna wack them , but you know starting a fight just because of DOTA is damn lame , especially when your other friends know about it .
6.I love 5.84c and i hate version 6
Man , what happened to old time when everybody’s item was – Blink Dagger , BKB and Guinsoo….
I prefer 5.84c , Blinking was everywhere , element of surprise , when your friend gets Ursa Warrior or Naix you laugh at them ..haha.. ( fact : i suck at version 6 that is why i am saying this )
Question: gap you noob , what about the Imba heros : Medusa , Sven .
YES . super imba..But , when its an -ar game ..and you get either one of them. I am quite sure you are going to have fun pawning everybody. its not nice when your opponents get those heroes , but when you get it , its a different story eh
7.Dota determines your MOOD
I think most Dota players will agree with me that …THE LAST GAME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE ..basically , you play 5 games . you can lose the first 4 games as long as the LAST game you win . Losing the last game and go home , its like >-insert your fav.football club-< losing a champions league finals . You feel like shit the whole day . You feel like you wasted your time and wasted your money . I call it , PAY TO LOSE .
last game win = good mood
last game lose = bad mood

Btw , in case you didn’t know . my team is AC MILAN .
since i was 6 years old
my worse day was champions league finals 2005 Liverpool-Milan 3-3 penalties. Milan was leading 3-0 at the first half
