EE needs an editor to let go over his blog posts before submitting them. Imagine what it would accomplish.

Thank you EE, I for one am extremely grateful for the time and effort you put into writing it. Putting your thoughts out there to improve the scene, even when you know it will draw out the haters, shows strong character and an appreciation for the fans who care about the state of Dota2.

I understand one of the biggest problems is that the prestige of a tournament is directly linked to the total prize money on offer. It makes total sense, bigger sums draws more hype, better teams and subsequently more revenue to organizers through all the various streams.

If you feel that your thoughts are shared amongst other players, do you think other players would be willing to sacrifice total prize pool if that meant more money was spent on equipment, facilities and proper wages for event staff?

To put it another way, do the current crop of professionals see dota2 as a cash grab which they want to capitalize on for the period of time they are on the scene, or do they have genuine concern for the long term survivability of the sport? If people do want to improve the scene, how far are we away from a properly regulated sport, with something like a regulators, transfer windows, standardization etc?
I don't have time for quotes

Alright so I just made that account to reply here. First of all your English doesn't seem poor at all envy don't be so harsh. Second: its only normal to think about yourself that you didn't do your best, but in the eyes from fans/audience its only normal to see that you most of the time played really well,since they probably don't understand the game as good as one of the best players or any proplayer. And third: its only normal as well to not want to interact with people before a game or immediately after one. Even if its a win you never know what could happen next. If they are true fans they will understand that. With that the only thing left to say is that I am not good at writing and that this is only my personal opinion.

I think everything I would like to say has already been said in this thread.

That being said, I think that people have no idea the pressure professional players are under (myself included) and should consider any complaints they have about tourneys through such a lens.
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

Also real sports casters don't go around shitting on teams, even if the team is bad. It's unprofessional, it looks bad on that caster, the station, and the league. They might say a team has been slumping or had a bad season but they're not going to tear a team or player a new asshole. It's not about "being nice", it's about saying unnecessary things. Everyone knows if a team is bad, no need to be ruthless about it.


Real sportsmen also don't insult their amateur teammates and flame them for being garbage at a game. I've seen numerous casual tennis and football games with a combination of pro & amateur players and never ever has one of the professional players talked about how garbage his teammates are even when they ruined a pass, missed a shot or made another obvious mistake. If anything they encouraged their worse amateur teammates. Not saying the point about the commentators is void, but if EE wants to improve the scene he can take a look in the mirror and start with himself, especially when regarding flaming.

Hi EE. I'm just a random guy, not a fan or a hater. I've red your blog and have some thoughts. First of all, you writing about stuff is great. It's nice to hear thoughts of pro dota players, their opinions. So I hope you keep doing that in your very honest fashion. It's awesome. My next thought is about Starladder critiscism. I have to admit, you're wright about some things. I agree 100% about interpreters - it's a must have, no questions asked. Yes, and computers/internet should work great - basic requairement. Reasonable, again, I agree. But asking for private washrooms and asking to build soundproof booths is too much for now. It can be obligatory in future for all LAN events, but as of today it is too much to ask. And my opinion is that you are a perfectionist (no offense). That's not a bad thing, but the problem is, most of us are not. If it's not perfect for you - it's deasent/tolerable. But for most of the people it can be good, great or even awesome, without being perfect. You came to DotA pro scene a bit late. So your playing conditions were pretty great. If you don't believe me, talk to some CIS dota players, like Dendi, NS, Goblak, Xboct, Lightofheaven and ask them about their first LAN's and Dota1 LAN's in general. You will learn a lot, my friend, believe me. Btw, may I remind you EE that starladder was the first Dota2 LAN event(except for TI of course) with no croud funding at the time, when teams and players played to win, to be the best, to show everyone how skilled they were and what they were capable of. And now, it's mostly about the money and that's a bad motivator in competetive scene. I am probably wrong about this, but I think money is your main motivation to play Dota, not the fact that you love the game and want to be the best.(Because you started playing Dota in 2012, after TI and 1 mill$, not before) That's all my thoughts for now. I hope you find something usefull in all of this and I hope I didn't offend you in any way - that wasn't my intention. So gl to you, try to be the best, and one day you will.
P.S. How can a guy with such a negative nickname ETERNAL ENVY achieve greatness? No offense(again, sorry!) but if you are "eternaly envious" of someone, all that negative shit may influence you/your teammates. Maybe this is the reason why you are "forever second"? Sorry, no offense, but try to think about it.

There's a huge difference between saying there's garbage teams to saying it on stream. I'm pretty sure even the garbage teams are aware that are some garbage teams even if they think they are good '-'.

Writing it.
Then sleeping over it, reading it again and rewrite the obviously badly written stuff would most likely be enough.
