People are rallying up online to defeat their opponents in Dota 2 to gain victory over their competitors. Esports teams from every corner of the world are coming together to fight professional gamers to earn rewards. The Lima Major has just reached its finale and the world cheered on as Gaimin Gladiators walked away with earnings of up to $200,000 by placing first in the South American tournament.  

Dota 2 has kept the momentum from the Lima Major going by introducing a brand new hero to the roster with the 7.32 E update. The recently released patch for the strategy game has opened its doors to Muerta, a gunslinger who shoots enemy heroes from a distance using pistols that make her foes pay during battles. 

The latest 7.32 E update has also provided a fun and exciting mini-game for its active community of gamers. The Dead Reckoning mini-game can be played out in each match by assisting or killing specific heroes from the enemy team. You can gain 1 point for each assist and 2 points for any kills that you can perform against the assigned enemy hero. These points can be used to unlock the Dead Reckoning Chest and Dead Reckoning Keys for amazing rewards. 

Take a look at how you can use Dead Shot to make foes retreat from team fights while playing Muerta in the massively multiplayer game.
