“Gaming is becoming a big part of our events and we plan to increase our commitment to this at upcoming Mumbai Film & Comic Con, with exclusive gaming areas for LAN & Console Gaming!” he added.

Dota2 is set up as an epic battle that takes place over the course of about an hour-long game. The tournament takes place between certain teams. Each player takes control of one hero, and the teams fight it out across the battlefield with the help of computer controlled units and structures until one side destroys their opponents. 

Youngsters enjoyed a lot in this multiplayer online battle. The ones winning were moving up the ladder and later on 3 teams were declared as winners.  The Winning team of the Dota 2 Lan Gaming Tournament was rewarded with the amount of Rs 5000. Rest of the two runners up teams were rewarded with Rs 3000 & Rs 1000 respectively. 

Darshan Joshi, Team leader of the first prize winning team, said, "It feels awesome to have won the 1st prize for an event organised by Comic Con India. I was not expecting it, but I am glad I didn't waste my Saturday playing at home"

Dota is largely attributed to being the most significant inspiration for the multiplayer online battle arena genre. People were amused by this form of entertainment and requested to organize this Gaming Tournament every year.

Kartik Gopalakrishnan , A participant, said, “This tournament was extremely well organised and fun, I wish we had some more events like this. I am just glad Comic Con India organised this event for us.”
