Random Thoughts on DotA

I thought I have nothing to write, but something strikes me today after some games of DotA. DotA, to me is a game of art. I have been going over it since the era of Zion, a platform using mIRC as a medium. Back then was the days of the Singaporeans in Zion. I still remember the first game played by my brother, coupled with some lagginess. Lagginess seems to disappeared in DotA after some games. Seems to have been playing for quite a long while in Zion with two brothers as allies. Kill, been killed, those were the days. Learning skills along the way, and a heart to continue playing. Along came the era of Garena, introduced by my brother, which happened to register as a member a few days earlier before me. Still striving hard as usual in the Garena platform, with brothers occasionally joining me. "Trust", I think about the word trust when it is pointing to my allies, especially more so my brothers. They are learning along the way with me too, until I can associate the word trust unto them. I thought I am going to die, suddenly a stun or disable striked unto my ever preying foe. I escaped from death. I thought I am going alone passing through the towers, but I saw them striding along too. Accurate estimation, ever grabber of opportunities and a heart with no hesitation to attack and retreat together. Protecting and watching out for each other's back, striving the hardest to achieve the only one victory for their team. Subtle mistakes are tolerated over a string of jokes and a sense of humour. I don't have to play to play but instead use the best of abilities to play. I can trust them to have the capacities to stand alone, and also teaming up together when the need arises. They are the individualistic doers, quiet and realistic, very rational, extremely matter of fact persons. Fighting along side with me until now, over thousands of games, quite a long while and quite something in my opinion. Killing spree, unstoppable... Memories of the old days...
