Hello everyone at Liquid Dota. Last week, I wrote that I was leaving TL. I'll still be around Liquid Dota of course, because I think the community and activity here is great -- I just won't be staff.

Esports Express will be separating from TL as well, and I'll be working on it full time. The first thing we're doing is some crowdfunding for our Dota 2 section.

Kickstarter page:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hotbid/esports-express-dota-2

Reddit thread:
http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2klc3g/esports_express_dota_2_kickstarter/

If you want to help that's great, if not don't worry about it, I hope you'll be able to read and enjoy the articles we write if it gets funded.

If you have feedback or questions on anything please post in this blog. If you wanna help or contribute in other ways use the contact form on the ESEX main site.

I'm not sure how Kickstarter works. If it hits 10k are we not able to fund more? Because it's already half way there already

if it doesnt hit 10k then the money gets returned i think. past 10k you can still fund it, the stretch goals are there to encourage funding past the "goal"

Oh I see. Thank you.

I actually read the stretch goals part and somehow forgot about them, lol

So bad.

Someone is bound to pledge 50$ and proceed to throw every game.

And you're going to have to play a lot of DotA 2 if that keeps gaining backers.

Hotbid mentioned on reddit that there will be a rule where they will just stop playing if you are clearly trolling after a few losses.

Looks like it's already been funded, and in less than a day too. Congrats Hot Bid.

Cool project Hot Bid. Please keep doing interviews with players at tournaments. Your interviews are legit; seriously top tier.
I like money. You like money too? We should hang out.

Yeah, he wants to continue doing TL interviews at events. But his focus will obviously be more on his ESEX stuff.
