EPTTotalBiscuit is SO MAD at Blizzard. :D It's also really interesting to hear his perspective as a SC2 team owner.

They will make a play that looks absolutely glorious, then DemoN will do literally the dumbest thing possible. It's like watching a poorly scripted movie where you know there has to be an "all-is-lost" moment, except EG rarely ever comes back from it. EG is the Game of Thrones of DotA and Demon is Joffrey. | ||

Anyone in SC2 who didn't know about the TI3 knows about it now thanks everyone freaking out. It only means that more people might switch to watch that than WCS NA. | ||

Carried with Medusa like a boss 4v5 for the 2nd half of the game against 5 carry team. It was hilarious getting ganged and you just pop manta and rape everyone with divine. MMR have been awesome for me lately. Getting paired for games under 30 secs and actually the teammates are not total retards anymore. /brag mode off User was warned for this post | ||

If there were people who didn't know are care about Dota 2, but watched TB and loved SC2, they now know about a 2.6 million dollar event happening that day. To quote EGIncontrol when talking about TI-Prime: "I don't know shit about Dota, but I will watch to see a nerd win a million dollars." | ||

To quote EGIncontrol when talking about TI-Prime: "I don't know shit about Dota, but I will watch to see a nerd win a million dollars." But it's not like he will watch dota from the beginning to the end though. He can tune in and watch it now and then, but if you expect a person who only find out about dota2 one week before TI3 to watch the tournament that they mostly will not understand that much one week in a row, you'll have a very bad time. I suspect Incontrol will only tune in to watch some important matches, or the final, he will still spend most of the time watching sc2. People who don't know about dota2 and like sc2 will most likely continue to watch sc2, and will be aware of dota2 and TI3 to tune in from time to time, that's about it. Hype can only carry you so far until you get bored because of lack of knowledge. | ||

I do agree and I think people most the the community is freaking out over something that just might not matter. I intend to watch both and turn in to the finals for each event that I am awake for. The main problem is that the community freaking out about it is making the issue self fulfilling, as WCS will never put up the same numbers at TI3. | ||

These videos get me especially pumped: + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler + I hope Na'vi brings their A-game and makes it to the grand finals again, i don't even care about who wins TI3 i just want equally amazing games, i still get chills when re-watching the best of TI2. And i think i've memorized far too many of the teamfights and what the casters said during them haha. | ||

WCS will never ever put up the same numbers as TI3 though, even if it is run unconflicted with other games/tournaments. The game itself is less popular,and the tournaments are just regional finals, not the big grand final. I don't think noone ever suspects that TI3 will stomp WCS in term of viewership. | ||
