Relevant Topics

1. League of Legends (LoL): Discuss that this is a real-time strategy game where two teams of five players aim to demolish the opponent's base. Go through the primary rules, including champion selection, game phases (early, mid, late game), and objectives (towers, dragons, barons).

2. Dota 2: Clarify that, similar to LoL, it is a real-time strategy game with two teams of five players. Spotlight the differences in gameplay mechanics such as the item buying system and the vital role of support players. Talk about major events like The International.

3. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO): Explain that this is a first-person shooter where two teams (Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists) face off across rounds. Elaborate on basic rules like buying weapons, bomb planting and defusal, and team strategies.

4. FIFA: Describe this as a football simulator where players control teams following traditional match rules. Discuss different game modes, including Ultimate Team and official FIFA eSports competitions.

5. Fortnite: Explain that this is a battle royale game where 100 players vie to be the last one standing. Discuss building mechanics, the significance of loot, and survival tactics. Mention major events and tournaments.

6. Call of Duty: Warzone: Describe this as another battle royale game akin to Fortnite but with a more tactical and realistic approach. Go into detail about respawn mechanics, contracts, and custom loadouts.

7. eSports Championships: Stress the importance of championships in the eSports arena. Highlight events like the League of Legends World Championship, The International for Dota 2, CS:GO Majors, and tournaments for FIFA and Fortnite.

To Reinforce Learning

1. What are the core differences between League of Legends and Dota 2 regarding gameplay and rules?

2. Explain how the round dynamics function in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

3. Describe the building and survival mechanics in Fortnite and how they influence gameplay strategies.

Feedback

Duration: 20 - 25 minutes

The aim of this stage is to review and consolidate students' knowledge gained throughout the lesson. Discussing the questions will clarify any uncertainties while reinforcing the main concepts covered. By engaging students through questions and reflections, it fosters a deeper interaction with the content, stimulating critical and reflective thinking.

Diskusi Concepts

1. Discussion of Questions 2. What are the main differences between League of Legends and Dota 2 in terms of gameplay and rules? 3. League of Legends (LoL): Champions have unique abilities that develop as the game goes on. There are distinct phases of play (early, mid, late game), focusing on objectives such as towers, dragons, and barons. 4. Dota 2: While similar in framework, Dota 2 has a more intricate item purchasing system, and the emphasis on support roles is more pronounced. The denial mechanic (denying opponents' experience and gold) is unique, directly affecting strategy. 5. Explain how the round dynamics work in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. 6. In CS:GO, two teams (Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists) compete in rounds. Each round kicks off with the buying of weapons and gear, followed by strategies to plant/defuse bombs or wipe out the opposing team. The game's economy is key as it decides what players can buy in subsequent rounds. 7. Describe the building and survival mechanics in Fortnite and how they impact gameplay strategy. 8. In Fortnite, beyond gathering loot (weapons and items), players can construct structures for defence or tactical leverage. These building mechanics allow players to create barriers or platforms for better positioning, making survival strategies dynamic and complex.
