Ok, I decided to close the contest already as there's already been about 250-300 people signing up for it. Congratulations to the winners! I hope you'll enjoy your key. Let the discussion about DotA2 go on! :-)

If you get more you should try to restrict the give-away to TL members .

Ah man, I didn't see this thread until you'd already given out the keys. I know playing the original is just as good if not better at this point (all heroes and no (new) bugs) but that doesn't stop me from wanting what I don't have haha. I agree about LoL being a fun game with fundamental flaws.

How did you get access to the beta? Connections through Liquid ESPORTS, or through the Dota community? HoN?

I also harbor a dislike for the term MOBA :|

Yeah, when you've worked in professional eSports for a year or more, you end up having some useful contacts when you need it. :-)

Nice writeup! I agree with you for the most part.

I'm part-guilty as a member of the hostile party (which is really like 95% of the pub players anyway). I recall playing a game recently where our tiny probably hit about 3/20 avalanche he attempted, and probably never tossed an enemy hero (he tossed everything else though, lol!). Poor guy didn't even speak English, but our team really put down the verbal beating on him. In the heat of the game, even the good-natured people may "lose it."

You also have to take into account that these "new" players are not entirely open to suggestions either. A lot of these guys, despite being new to the game, are absurdly arrogant and stubborn towards tips, suggestions, and commands. There's no excuse for dying along near enemy tower when the team already explained that "b" means back, and spammed b several times prior to retreating before the enemy tower.

Also,
