DOTA 2 doesn’t waste time. Right when you launch the game, you see an intense Intro clip with tons of action and cool graphics. But when you’ve put hundreds - or even thousands - of hours into the game, the intro can get annoying. You just wanna skip to the real action.
So here’s how you can skip the intro in DOTA 2.
Step 1: Open Steam Library
Launch steam and click the Library tab. You can find it near the top of the window, sitting beside the Store and Community tabs.
In the Library tab, you should see a list of all your Steam games on your left.
Step 2: Open Game Properties

Find and click DOTA 2 in the left column of games. Here, you can proceed in two ways.
You can click the little Gear Icon at the far right of the DOTA 2 menu that opens once you click the game’s name. You can find it next to three other buttons and above “Friends who play”.
The other way is to simply right-click DOTA 2 in the list of games. This should open a small context menu with Properties written at the bottom.
Click that, and you should see a new window open up.
Step 3: Set Launch Command

The Game Properties menu has a bunch of sections. We’re interested in the one named General.
The General section has a heading labeled “Launch Options”. Here, you can type commands to alter the game’s settings. Sort of like a Command Prompt for the game.
In Launch Options, type the command “-novid” exactly like this.
That’s it. You can close the Properties window now.
If you’re still confused, maybe consider this video tutorial.
The next time you launch DOTA 2, you’ll jump right into the main menu.
No need for any intro, you’re all the action the game needs.
What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
