PUBG to replace DOTA's era?

by: Emmanuel Raymond A. Ferrer     

The new hero, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is now out to assassinate our all time favorite game, Defense of the Ancients (DOTA).

DOTA is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game where you team up with four other players (5 in total) and destroy the other team's Ancient (base). But to reach that base you need to destroy three outer towers and two inner towers. Each human player controls one hero, and each hero have four different unique skills. its up to your heroes combination and team strategy to attain the victory that you want to achieve.

 For years, DOTA dominated the gaming industry destroying other games that rivals it like, League of Legends (LOL), Heroes of Newearth (HON), Special Force (SF), Crossfire (CF) and many more online games. it even holds the recored in the most highest prize pool in the history of e-sports.

 It has a 16 year streak where no other games surpassed its fame, not until now.

PUBG, an action game released last March 13, 2017 just stole its spotlight. It is a battle royale game-mode that will put up to 100 players on a desolate island where they will search for weapons and kill other players. You can even choose to have a team or not. The last man standing is going to be proclaimed as the "winner, winner, chicken dinner" (game's victory message). 

 Even though PUBG just got released last year, it already overtook DOTA in the gaming platform Steam's top games.


Not only that, but it also exceeded the peak players that use the game at a time. Not just exceeded, it surpased DOTA with a very marginal numbers.

 The game climb the fame ladder so fast that its creator Bluehole Studios,ride PUBG's rising fame and rename their game developing group into PUBG Corp.

The race of gamers may just be looking for something new to play, but one thing is for sure. If this continues, PUBG may change the future of gaming industry and take DOTA's crown in the world of gaming.
