When it comes to dota 2 cosplays, Dota 2 TI (dota 2 the international) is the biggest event so far.

Even its big and there are tons of cosplays in the eventm only selected few will go to the main stage event.
So they have to ditch lots of interesting cosplays and probably will never reach the people who watch from home.

And this particular cosplay is one of them. "Bane Elemental" by Jenny (@eykorr)

Here are her words.

"I'm still a relatively small cosplayer so looking back there's a lot of things I would have liked to add or change! But it was so fun cosplaying at TI again, the whole cosplay community was awesome!! I haven't really been active on many things for dota lately and honestly going and cosplaying was awesome and welcoming and it felt like I never left at all!! I know this is way late now but if anyone took pictures with or of me, I'd love to see them!! Thanks!"

Bane's Story

When the gods have nightmares, it is Bane Elemental who brings them. Also known as Atropos, Bane was born from the midnight terrors of the goddess Nyctasha. A force of terror too powerful to be contained by sleep, he surfaced from her slumbers, fed upon her immortality, and stole his vaporous form from her inky blood. He is the essence of fear. Mortals who hear his voice hear their darkest secrets whispered in their ear. He calls to the hidden fear in every Hero's heart. Wakefulness is no protection, for Bane's black blood, continuously dripping, is a tar that traps his enemies in nightmare. In the presence of Bane, every Hero remembers to fear the dark.

Wind Ranger’s Story


The western forests guard their secrets well. One of these is Lyralei, master archer of the wood, and favored godchild of the wind. Known now as Windranger, Lyralei’s family was killed in a storm on the night of her birth–their house blown down by the gale, contents scattered to the winds. Only the newborn survived among the debris field of death and destruction. In the quiet after the storm, the wind itself took notice of the lucky infant crying in the grass. The wind pitied the child and so lifted her into the sky and deposited her on a doorstep in a neighboring village. In the years that followed, the wind returned occasionally to the child’s life, watching from a distance while she honed her skills. Now, after many years of training, Windranger fires her arrows true to their targets. She moves with blinding speed, as if hastened by a wind ever at her back. With a flurry of arrows, she slaughters her enemies, having become, nearly, a force of nature herself.

Welcome to cosplay Island and this is a cosplay about Invoker and Lina

Invoker

In its earliest, and some would say most potent form, magic was primarily the art of memory. It required no technology, no wands or appurtenances other than the mind of the magician. All the trappings of ritual were merely mnemonic devices, meant to allow the practitioner to recall in rich detail the specific mental formulae that unlocked a spell's power. The greatest mages in those days were the ones blessed with the greatest memories, and yet so complex were the invocations that all wizards were forced to specialize. The most devoted might hope in a lifetime to have adequate recollection of three spells—four at most. Ordinary wizards were content to know two, and it was not uncommon for a village mage to know only one—with even that requiring him to consult grimoires as an aid against forgetfulness on the rare occasions when he might be called to use it. But among these early practitioners there was one exception, a genius of vast intellect and prodigious memory who came to be known as the Invoker. In his youth, the precocious wizard mastered not four, not five, not even seven incantations: He could command no fewer than ten spells, and cast them instantly. Many more he learned but found useless, and would practice once then purge from his mind forever, to make room for more practical invocations. One such spell was the Sempiternal Cantrap—a longevity spell of such power that those who cast it in the world's first days are among us still (unless they have been crushed to atoms). Most of these quasi-immortals live quietly, afraid to admit their secret: But Invoker is not one to keep his gifts hidden. He is ancient, learned beyond all others, and his mind somehow still has space to contain an immense sense of his own worth...as well as the Invocations with which he amuses himself through the long slow twilight of the world's dying days.

Facts

According to Aurel, Invoker is one hundred times his age.
According to Strygwyr, Invoker's blood is sour for reasons unknown.
Puck has some knowledge of Invoker's spells, which he remembers from a distant past.
Undying and Mirana seems to know him in past life because they know his actual name.
According to Rubick, the old Invoker nickname is Arsenal Magus

Drow Ranger’s Story

Drow Ranger’s given name is Traxex–a name well suited to the short, trollish, rather repulsive Drow people. But Traxex herself is not a Drow. Her parents were travelers in a caravan set upon by bandits, whose noisy slaughter of innocents roused the ire of the quiet Drow people. After the battle settled, the Drow discovered a small girl-child hiding in the ruined wagons, and agreed she could not be abandoned. Even as child, Traxex showed herself naturally adept at the arts they prized: Stealth, silence, subtlety. In spirit, if not in physique, she might have been a Drow changeling, returned to her proper home. But as she grew, she towered above her family and came to think of herself as ugly. After all, her features were smooth and symmetrical, entirely devoid of warts and coarse whiskers. Estranged from her adopted tribe, she withdrew to live alone in the woods. Lost travelers who find their way from the forest sometimes speak of an impossibly beautiful Ranger who peered at them from deep among the trees, then vanished like a dream before they could approach. Lithe and stealthy, icy hot, she moves like mist in silence. That whispering you hear is her frozen arrows finding an enemy’s heart.

With a flurry of arrows, she slaughters her enemies, having become, nearly, a force of nature herself.

Mirana, the princess of the moon another hero from dota univers. The cosplay is done by SamediGrimm.

Born to a royal family, a blood princess next in line for the Solar Throne, Mirana willingly surrendered any claim to mundane land or titles when she dedicated herself completely to the service of Selemene, Goddess of the Moon. Known ever since as Princess of the Moon, Mirana prowls the sacred Nightsilver Woods searching for any who would dare poach the sacred luminous lotus from the silvery pools of the Goddess's preserve. Riding on her enormous feline familiar, she is poised, proud and fearless, attuned to the phases of the moon and the wheeling of the greater constellations. Her bow, tipped with sharp shards of lunar ore, draws on the moon's power to charge its arrows of light.


Stories say that she once found a griffin in the Nightsilver Woods. Her mount or the pet is Sagan and she likes to worship at the temple of Mene where she have visions some times. Unlike her associate Luna, Mirana does not appear to be a member of the Dark Moon.

This work is done by Maria and Iris with Milligan Vick. As usually its from dota universe.
In the original DotA mod for Warcraft 3, the current windranger's name was Alleria. As she was also named Windrunner in DotA, she had the skin of her sister, Sylvanas Windrunnner before her first death, but she was actually Alleria Windrunner, Sylvanas' Sister. Drow Ranger's skin in DotA was based on Sylvanas after her first death, so it could be possible that they were sisters in DotA

Lanaya is also from Dota universe and this cosplay is a work of Aliza. She has done a great job that it feels like this is really Lanaya.

Her story goes like this.

Lanaya, the Templar Assassin, came to her calling by a path of curious inquiry. Possessed of a scientific bent, she spent her early years engaged in meticulous study of nature's laws--peering into grimoires of magic and alchemy, recreating experiments from charred fragments of the Violet Archives, and memorizing observations of the Keen recordkeepers.
 Already quiet and secretive by nature, the difficulty of acquiring these objects further reinforced her skills of stealth. Had she been less retiring, she might have become notorious among the guilds as a thief-scholar. Instead her investigations led her into far more obscure corners. As she devoted her furtive talents to unlocking the secrets of the universe, she instead unlocked a secret door that exists in nature itself: the entryway to the most Hidden Temple.
 The intelligences that waited beyond that portal, proved to be expecting her, and whatever mysteries they revealed in the moment of their discovery was nothing compared to the answers they held out to Lanaya should she continue in their service. She swore to protect the mysteries, but more to the point, in service to the Hidden Temple she satisfies her endless craving for understanding. In the eyes of each foe she expunges, a bit more of the mystery is revealed.

Meepo the Geomancer comes from a large family and his race in unknown to dota universe.

This cosplay is done by Kelophina, one of the hottest cosplayers out there. Its the female version of the meepo. Its done very well and she have more amazing cosplays of other characters too.

Here is the story of meepo.

Mepo has been known to dig graves. He has a gold tooth and he eats fish. He is a funny guy and likes to tell stories. He makes a living out of selling gems and relics that he dig up most of the time in Riftshadow ruins. He frequently uses improvised weapons, including his trusty shovel, a bundle of crystals, a torch, a lantern pole, an oversized key, a hammer, and a frying pan tied to a stick.

In addition to selling trinkets, Meepo also makes a living telling stories about the Riftshadow ruins, and guiding travelers through its wastes. Those who wish to know the ruins' deepest secrets must tip Meepo generously, and keep their mouths shut about anything they see.

He  likes redheads, which he declares to Lina, Lyralei and Aiushtha. He knows Gondar, and tells him that he took care of a thing for him when he meets him. Also he covets Rubick's magical gems, asking to buy them from him. He also offers to sell Rubick more gems some times.
Meepo knows how to play a square lute, which he calls a "pluckin' fiddle". He sometimes plays in an ensemble with his clones.

Meepo spent years digging in Singer's Gulch, where he dug up a giant resonating crystal and once explored the Bone Ruins, where he obtained the key to the entrance arch, badly damaged by explosives. Inside, he found bandits, which he evicted, and took one of their bandanas as a souvenir. He also found the skull of a large bird-like creature, which he now uses to protect his right shoulder.


This 2 little cute girls are the legendary twin sisters from Defence of the ainciants (Dota 2)

Lina is capable of manipulating the fires while rylai can manipulate the icy powers.
Lina is the older sister.
When they are young, Lina and Rylai was seperated because they possess different powers.
And then after 15 years their parents died because of the war of the mages.


Lina and Rylai's mother is a pyromantress and the princess of misrule kingdom.
She was exiled after knowing by his father that she has a love with one which is not a misrulean.
It is stated in the laws of misrule that a misrulean shouldnt marry a man/woman having a different power.
Their father is a cryomancer from the icy kingdom of icewrack.
He was once a warden but he left the icewrack unattended.
It all started in the first phase of war of the mages.
Their love and power has no boundaries that's why they left their resposibility and live far away from their home.


In dota 1..

When the 2 recieve a invitation to fight for the dire and radiant war, lina joined forces to the dire side and rylai to the radiant side.
Since its a war, they should fight till death, showing who is the most powerful.

But.. In dota 2, they both are in radiant  side.

Maybe It is possible, since they are sisters, their love to each other wont fade away.

Vengeful Spirit is a hero from the game Dota 2. She is a hot and angry character. 

This is her story.

Skywrath Mage Dragonus was sworn to protect whoever sits the Nest of Thorns and he was a friend and companion to the eldest Skywrath Princess Shendelzare (later Vengeful Spirit) and was in love with her, but later on he was so busy with his arcane studies that he missed the obvious signs of plot against Shendelzare so he could not act in time.

Shendelzare was attacked by her younger sister (in DOTA1, Phantom Assassin, but they are not related in DOTA2), and she could only tore free from the net of an assassin if she ripped off her own wings. She fled, knowing that without her wings, she could not be accepted as queen, and seeking vengeance, she surrendered her broken body to the goddess Scree’auk in return of spirit energy.

Dragonus, even after finding out the truth, could not do anything since he is sworn to protect the Skywrath scion, so to act against the Nest would render him helpless. He believes that one day he may restore his love to her rightful place and in her original, healed physical form.

This amazing cosplay is done by beautiful Alyona and this hot costume weapon and the wig is also done by her.

And the gorgeous photographs of the cosplay are captured by one of the best cosplay photographers Milligan Vick.
