It would seem that a million dollar tournament would be worth streaming so is it safe to say they will be casted and streamed live? I'm not familiar with how IEM usually runs their events : /
Hmmmmm.... do you guys think they will have LAN? All valve games have it so I would guess this one will as well. Lately most company's are just saying fuck it... I really hope Valve doesn't join that bandwagon

Honestly i think they'll get it for tournaments-only, since it's incredibly dangerous to put LAN in a game whose main playerbase is located in China/Philippines (no offense to pinoys )

Thats actually a very interesting concept and never actually thought about it. I definitely don't have 10 friends who would play DotA 2 though and I doubt a lot of people out there actually do. If they are so eager about their competitive scene though it would be the logical choice.

We really can't tell at this moment, we don't even know wether the game is gonna be f2p or if we have to pay for it. I guess things will clear up when beta finally arrives...

I think LAN is important for such a game, so I'm guessing it would be f2p.
Very true Spacer, but if it does go F2P then I wouldn't really see the point to not having it in there. MOBA games in general require alot of timing and micro and any lag would just fuck them all over.

Can't wait to see it at GamesCom, Cologne :O
It's actually entirely the Source engine. They didn't use any special CGI.
I think valve is going to have to make it ftp to compete with LoL casuals wise. I also don't see why not, as the format has been so massively successful for riot games. Just include like a fixed price that can unlock all heroes and we good.

Companies don't leave LAN out to annoy customers. They do it because of the insane amounts of piracy that goes on when LAN is available on a game. They are a business trying to make profits so its a decision that usually needs to be made.

With TF2 being Valves lab rat I think they know they would be able to be F2P and get away with it. I just really hope they don't make it so i need to buy Champions... That's the thing that really turns me off to LoL and HoN. I don't mind if they sell skins, taunts, hats(lol ^_^), and etc. It would just be a real bummer if they did that shit.
Its the community that will be a huge factor in who's the 'better' game. So try to be as supportive as possible and clean as possible too. LoL is just bashing DotA2 any chance they have, don't get hurt or ath because i can guarantee you that DotA 2 is better than LoL and i've played both games.

the most used heroes in pro scene will be in the tournament, while the rest will be added in the beta-early release.
Seen interviews with top players complaining due to counters not being released yet, making some champs pretty op in the beta. Also if you've followed the changelogs at all there is a ton of bugs with every champ when they are first introduced into dota 2, so may take quite a while to get everyone in game.

Doubt it as if you've noticed wc3 would be the best selling pc game off all time(or close) if it wasn't for all the pirating and private servers, especially in asia.
