I just saw on Reddit that Day9 has been expressing some interest in Dota recently.



Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/4xqwqp/starcrafts_famous_personality_day9_wants_to_learn/



Strategy in Dota begins with the captains of two 5-man teams having to draft heroes for their teams. You take it in turns to pick heroes for your team and ban heroes to deny the enemy team from picking them.

In the latest tournament 105 different heroes were picked and 82 different heroes were banned during drafts - more than ever before.

You can see from this that the game is super strategic from the get-go, and this is why I think it would be awesome to see Day9 trying to figure out Dota!

[image loading]



Purge has expressed interested in helping out and he is a really cool teacher in Dota like Day9 is in SC. Here is a 2 min clip from Purge to give you a taster.





Dota has just concluded its $20 MILLION dollar 2-week long tournament so the hype is strong and its a cool time to check out the game! For a brief intro you can check out this silly video by Slacks. It explains how a game of Dota plays out.





Other cool resources include the "How to be..." videos by Tsunami, the Purge Plays... series and pretty much everything on DotaCinema but especially the Fails of the Week series!

Day[9] was like "a few millions? meh" ... "20 millions?..." "Well I always thought the game was interesting, moba are really rts in the end, and I always like playing 5vs5 on starcraft and I wanted to make a 5vs5 hearthstonet tournament, so yes this is my jam, it has always been, I love moba, I love dota".

I'm kidding, I like Day[9], he was so important to starcraft and his stream is pretty popular.
I ddon't doubt that he will understand dota after a few months, he might have some new hindsights and he is the kind of guy who culd figure any game.

Well, he didn't really say that he was gonna play hardcore, make tutorails and all that stuff.

He kinda post about dota right after TI, which is good publicity but doesn't sound as naturally "passionnate".

And also I wonder, will he have time to learn dota? (i'm pretty sure he already knows more than lots of people), but I mean wasn't time one of the reason he decided to stream from time to time, and focused on hearthstone cause it's abit more "easier" than on others games?
I am not up to date on his situation, I know he streamed more and more (I think??), and his youtube channel always have new videos.

gl hf, and I know a girl left you a great feeling about this one so " g . g ".

i kept saying this when they were making starcraft 2: 3 dimensions. 3 dimensions. 3 dimensions. and time. that's what an RTS was MEANT TO BE. and then it wasn't.

dota is huge now and it's awesome and it's better than anything I've ever done AND YOU CANT LEAVE THE GAME EVER.

honestly fuck dota i only like bw. i know i deserve to get banned for saying i only like bw (and I'm rarely ever banned) but you know what fuck dota i only like bw. violent crime happens so that violent punishment can happen.

If he goes Dota I would go too. I need his soothing voice to learn after 350 hours vs bots.

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

oh sorry i forgot to consider flaming and translating from spanish to english to filipino to traditional chinese meaningful tactical/strategic decisions

also, trying to reconcile the unfortunate 15 year old who just lost his job at wendy's with the barely sentient nino rata that insta locked pudge mid vs OD with ¿mi idiota! FKER GRINGO?

and no, this isn't just solo que. solo que is just more fun because actually playing on a team is even more hellish because players always have cognitive dissonance between "this is just a game" and "i'm playing to improve and become a better player" and "i wanna win" and "i wanna play with the team," the respective importance of each factor changing dynamically during matches causing crazy new strife each time someone gets ganked...

this is what makes dota difficult at a pro level, squabbles between players... not the game itself.. it's an HR management simulator more than a strategic video game

Could you give one example of something that hold any strategic value to your eyes then?

never mind, you are either joking, not thinking straight, hating things
in any case, even serious,, you won't consider anything to not be as strategic as you say.

I mean you're wrong, sure dota has an additional aspect of complexity because it's a team game but that's not the only reason it's more strategic. SC is more tactical and mechanically far more complex and difficult, dota is more strategic.

way to derail the thread with idiotic game bashing, there's a ton of depth in both games.
