EPTI'm from Toronto as well. In regards to streaming, the best option I have found (a high upload and large bandwidth limit) is Techsavvy's DSL option at 25 down and 7 up and 300 gigs a month. it's 67$ a month. as far as I know the next best is Bell and Rogers who each have a package that has 2gig upload.

A lot of people seem to think that you would just be more stable financially if you started this after you finished school, i agree with them. But if you think you can make it work then chase the dream. Good luck no matter what you do. | ||

I can't because if I catching up once people start trying hard in DotA 2 is extremely difficult and also because it will cost me another 24k to get my degree. | ||

You are right when you are saying that you can go back to school any time, but at a certain point it CAN be (it does not have to be the case) too late. | ||

If that's your approach to life, I have serious doubts about how far you'll go. Good luck with it, but I don't plan on watching. | ||

Good luck with it, but I don't plan on watching. The funny thing is that it's kinda contradictory. Once I start playing, every single second starts to count, I get mad at myself if I stop for any amount of time to "take a break." | ||

You have to be really dumb to mention all this personal junk and then expect a forum filled with immature/bored young males all around your own age to not flame you. oh well, it worked out anyway. | ||

While i'm not saying that you can't be right with this, i just wanted to know if you had an actual reason to believe 75% don't, or if you're just picking that number b/c you believe that the vast majority of people use it, simply because you do. These are the stats from jtv partners that I've asked, since I was looking into becoming a partner. But they said it's not worth it because well over half of users have adblock. Sure, maybe they disable it for their favorite streams, but if you're running commercials constantly DURING your DotA games, do you really think there are a lot of people who will put up with that? | ||

why don't you continue studying but slowly make the transition into full time pro gaming as your presence within the scene grows? it just seems silly to jump ship like that, especially for an underdeveloped esport. you don't wonder why so many dota pros leave the scene with excuses such as "i'm going to focus on school" "i'm going to focus on a real job" "i'm going to focus on real life"? every month there's a dota pro spitting such excuses. | ||

anyways, people overrate how well individual players make up teams. you can have 5 decent players and do either really well or poorly. its all about teamwork. look at Navi when they first had their new roster of 5 all star players. they actually lost to PGG and his PUG squad at ASUS. (top dota lan in russia). why? because they had no sense of teamwork/roles/ what to do at the time. trace the team to how they are now and even in their games vs MYM when they either played poorly or well. if you want to be successful in dota, u have to be successful with a team you can be the best player in the planet and still be a random player if you dont have a team of 4 good players that know what to do. so get rid of your attitude now because you act like you are entitled to some godlike level from reading some of your posts. and to the topic at hand, stick to engineering. Dota is a game that doesnt need as much constant mechanical practice as say sc2. if you have the mechanics, all you need to work on is teamwork and decisions. there is a skillcap in dota. look at china, all the top players are reasonably near each other in skill. but the (players) that do well compared to the players that dont do well are the ones with better teams and synergy. look at Xiaolou(eg's standin), i would put him at the level of top carries like zhou. but he lacks experience. same with sylar. anyways im just rattling on now. if you can't manage both , that just says something about you and your willpower. | ||
