Dota 2... A five player MOBA game in which players cooperate and destroy towers... as is the objective of the game,
If someone were to say that this game was repetitive and had no difference from other MOBA's... then that was their opinion,
But the Dota 2 players all enjoyed their games, from the silly mistakes and screw ups to the high level pro plays done in tournaments matches,
But what the players like isn't the game and it's objectives, it's all the characters or otherwise known as....
Heroes,
Yes... this is what most players call the characters that they move and fight alongside, for years this game and it's community expanded, for better and for worse,
Now in the present day many people's lively hood depends on this game such as the commentators who speak over matches, giving their thoughts on the entire game..... Or maybe the teams who win millions of dollars from defeating every other team.... Or maybe perhaps you make videos out of it and use YouTube for livelihood....
But...
What if it was taken away?
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
