Author

I'm Belandrial (or Bela) and have worked in esports since around 2013. My pure love is Dota 2, which has been where most of my time has been spent (because TI is still the best event ever). Beyond that, some of my writing has dabbled into MLBB, World of Warcraft, Diablo, and even Overwatch. I currently reside in the far too humid South Africa, and spend my time loving the beach, Pokémon, and playing a little bit too much World of Warcraft. However, you can also find me loving Baldur's Gate and Path of Exile. Remember, the One Piece is the articles we wrote along the way.
