Hello, dear users of the iCCup platform. For a long time you haven't seen the news on our site, but it's time to fix it! All of you are players of DotA and each of you has your own favorite hero, but have your ever thought about history of this hero or about another players, who played on it? No? That is why we dicided to make a new heading "Hero Review". Lets start!
biography
Lord of Heaven, father of gods, Zeus treats all the Heroes as if they are his rambunctious, rebellious children. After being caught unnumbered times in the midst of trysts with countless mortal women, his divine wife finally gave him an ultimatum: 'If you love mortals so much, go and become one. If you can prove yourself faithful, then return to me as my immortal husband. Otherwise, go and die among your creatures.' Zeus found her logic (and her magic) irrefutable, and agreed to her plan. He has been on his best behavior ever since, being somewhat fonder of immortality than he is of mortals. But to prove himself worthy of his eternal spouse, he must continue to pursue victory on the field of battle.

The best Merlini on iccup
Zeus is not an easy hero and not all of you can play on it good. But there is one man, who can play on it more than perfect! This playes is 
qwe_123. We talked with him and learned a couple of tips special for you!
a few Tips
To play better on Zeus we recommend you to use this tips:
• Try to play more careful. Always think what you do and try to learn on your mistakes.
• Allways use Lightning Bolt before Arc Lightning not to lose your enemy in Fog of War.
• When you try to kill your opponents with low hp, but not too low for Thundergod's Wrath, try to use Thundergod's Wrath first and then use Lightning Bolt or Arc lightning to finish off your enemy.
• In battles try to use all of your skills early as possible to deal more damage with Static Field. This skill depends on currently hit points of your enemy, not the maximum, that is why you will not deal as much damage to enemy with low hp as to enemy with full hp.
• You must use Thundergod's Wrath only in that situations, when your ally can't kill your enemy himself. You need to use it when the battle starts, to make it easier for your team.
