Dota 2 Themed Chess Set Sells For $410 USD

A Dota 2 themed Chess set has been sold for nearly $410 USD on the e-commerce website Etsy. Created by Reddit user u/MrCD802, the collection has intricate pieces of Dota 2 characters in place of the usual Chess figures. All the pieces have been designed by hand using virtual reality over the course of four months. Only four sets were created by the user and each was sold out quickly on Etsy. Creator u/MrCD802 has since communicated that he intends to work on another version in the near future and will continue to post updates regarding it.

While the initial bundle was sold out rapidly, the user informed that he would be working on version 2 of the Dota 2 themed chess set.
