Suicidal Foot 4.0 - Hell Break

It loves you because nobody ever will. All hail Suicidal Foot! All hail the drama queen who writes, and her little servant boy!

Why DoTA Should Be Considered a Sport in the Philippines.

(I ended up posting it anyway)

1. Other Countries Consider DoTA 2 as an E-Sport
Here is the list of DoTA 2 Teams, just so you can see the different flags in there.

2. To support DoTA players in the PH.
The Philippines have a professional team, Mineski. There are others, who we do not know of,  because we don't support them. Just like that.

3. To show that Pinoy DoTA Players do not suck.
There's this convention that if you're Pinoy, you prolly suck at DoTA. Guys, sometime's it's just the lag. There are a few noobs like me, but, srsly, it's still teamwork and good internet connection.

4. DoTA makes you think, requires quick response.
It's not true that DoTA is a no-brainer. You have to be smart, you have to have a strategy, you have to respond quickly. You have to know your teammates, and know how to work with them. It's really fun chess kind of game.

5. To pressure internet providers to speed up development.
If DoTA 2 is considered an e-sport, that would make our country a possible host to possible events. DoTA 2 is an online game, even the LAN needs internet connection. What we consider "fast" right now here in the Philippines, is crap outside the country. If we want to complete globally, we can start with our internet connection, thank you very much.

6. To raise awareness what DoTA is.
DoTA 2 is not a pangtamad* game. It's just like chess, you have to outwit your opponent. It's just like basketball, you have to have teamwork. You have to have patience, to wait for the perfect time to defend or to push lanes.

The International is already in its fourth year. I wish to someday see a Philippine team up in the roster in less that five years.
