10. Akke's Dota-named cats

If you play a lot of Dota, it is supposed to be shown in your life outside Dota as well. Especially when the very game made you a millionaire. In this case, Akke named his cats Shiva and Midas. Paws of Midas incoming? Meanwhile, Loda would have prefered a cat to be named after him but it is a common belief that Akke is saving that for his first born child.



Say hello to our new family members Shiva and Midas! :) pic.twitter.com/kVMWqeaQOR — Joakim Akterhall (@FollowAkke) February 1, 2014 @FollowAkke AWWW So cute ^_^ I'm gonna come and visit them as soon as I'm back! :D I expected one to be named Loda... — Jonathan Berg (@LodaBerg) February 1, 2014

9. Sporty Pudge

Next level sponsorship? Have a branded item-set for a certain hero. Or in this case, maybe it's just Pudge feeling a bit self-conscious and wants to get some exercise, promoting those so-called healthy values.



Some suggestions on the Workshop are outrageous but this is just sporty. pic.twitter.com/2hUU2SrRkp — Wykrhm Reddy (@wykrhm) February 2, 2014

8. Mrs Bulldog

Kelly is such an excellent manager, she looks out for every need of her players. She even goes out of her way to find a match for one of them. Seems like AdmiralBulldog needs no help though as he has his eyes elsewhere.



7. Bots can be tricky

Fear making fun of his team mate for not handling the vicious Dota 2 bots quite so well late at night.



I bet $5 that @UniverseDota couldn't win his co-op bot match in less than 10 mins. It appears he is not only losing the bet, but the game. — Clinton Loomis (@FearDotA) February 2, 2014

6. I like your item. Lets burn it.

It must feel quite special if you're a workshop artist and your item gets featured somewhere on the Dota 2 blog. However, the feelings might be mixed if it gets featured under the segment "Offerings" and there is a picture of your item burning.



5. XBOCT stand-in officially too good.

XBOCT had a day where he played stand-in for everyone, first for NEXT and then he went on the play for both PR and Relax. The two latter were in the same tournament, both upper semis of CIS Carnage. This caused a lot of discussions as the two teams were to face up in the upper finals, starting the Standin.XBOCT vs Standin.XBOCT trends.



tomorrow i will NOT play for any of teams, fair play — alexandr dashkevich (@NaViXBOCT) January 27, 2014

4. Fear the Terrorblade

After Merlini doubted the recently added Terrorblade to be of any use, DeMoN proved him wrong. Multiple times.



hi @MerliniDota i just wanted to prove to you he's not a terribly useless hero.... pic.twitter.com/TlX35p1GIC — Jimmy Ho (@DotADeMoN) February 3, 2014

3. rOtk responds in the format of a shirt

Who says rOtk doesn't have the charisma? Well, think again as this time he reaches out to Loda via a different medium of communication (might we add a HOT medium?). The context is that Loda recently announced that his face is now available in the form of a t-shirt.



So @LodaBerg is not the only one who has a t-shirt. pic.twitter.com/wBIZisfXLf — ViCi Gaming (@vici_gaming) January 31, 2014

2. PGG buffed

Enigma's Black Hole got a buff in the recent patch. One player in specific is expressing certain optimism about this change. No more "PGG-holes", in which the characteristics are to hit as few heroes as possible.



Enigma Black Hole AoE increased from 375 to 400 Black Hole cast range increased from 250 to 275 see you in 2014 — plzgogame (@dotaPGG) January 28, 2014

1. The horrors of Dendi's Pudge

After facing Dendi's Pudge in a pubgame, Combo Wakamaka made a video about the horrors of doing so.
