I play various online games , such as DOTA
, FPS , RPG , Mahjong and Mobile games . Among them my favorite one is DOTA
game. The full name of DOTA is “Defense of the Ancients.” The players in this game are divided into two teams. The team destroys the other team's castle in advance will
win the game. There are many tactics needed in the game. For example , players first lure the
enemy out of his stronghold . Then they enter the back door to destroy enemy's castle. This tactic
we call it “BD” . I love playing DOTA games so much because I feel a sense of
accomplishment in every aspect and I know the importance of teamwork . By
playing games , I have learned communication skills and how to control my temper. It's a wonderful game to me.
