Check out our brand new DotA2 tutorial on how to play Chen.
After spending many a night toiling with a certain video editing programme, I am proud to present the first of many videos in what will be a regular series of DotA 2 tutorials. The first edition contains a detailed guide on how to play one of the game's most unique heroes; Chen. His gameplay style differs from that of most other characters, and this is the main reason for choosing to do a tutorial on him.
In this episode, we are joined by our main support player, Pierre-Baptisre "Ph0eNiiX" Petier, as we analyze a replay versus mTw in which Chen is utilized to the full. Over the course of the tutorial, I quiz Ph0eNiiX on all the different aspects of Chen and his play style. I hope you enjoy watching the video and learn something from it!
Seeing as the guide is rather long, I've made a list of the big sections that were discussed with their respective time.
