Kabir Vega’s Diary

In spite of the first DotA tournament in Cuba, organized by ADEC (Cuba’s eSports Group), being interrupted by Hurricane Irma, it has continued to take place at the Central I.T. Palace in Central Havana.

Ever since I can remember, I remember that I used to imagine foreign countries as alien civilizations or lands from another world, like other children did from my generation.

On a normal day, you plan to go shopping early in the morning so you can get back quickly and make the most of your time, but, the illusion of having a productive day is quickly shattered.

An unusual pleasure which some of us all share in some way or another is that of knowing how somebody we like is, what they are doing, what they are up to in their day-to-day lives. But not a relative or a friend, someone we don’t even know.

With October just starting and the country still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irma, the Cuban DotA League has kicked off again. Unfortunately, the “Hola Ola” local was one of the venues that was destroyed by the floods caused by the hurricane. However…

Like the majority of Cubans, I locked myself up in my apartment while Hurricane Irma swept through, listening to the wind beat against the window and trying to find out where this weather phenomenon was and its impact by listening to the station Radio Reloj.

Backed by Cuba’s Electronic Sports Group), the qualifying rounds of the first DotA tournament began on the weekend of September 2-3. Originally, it was planned that the next groups would continue playing on September 9-10, but with the sudden appearance of Hurricane Irma…

After years of waiting for DotA, Cuban gamers have finally announced the first large-scale event of this mega popular game.

Even with all of our disadvantages, many people have incorporated the Internet into their everyday lives. But, Cubans not only access the Internet, they are also leaving their mark on it.

It has always been difficult for anime, manga and fans of other Japanese cultural art forms to find activities that center around these subjects. Whatever the reason is, it’s been like they don’t even exist this year in Havana.
