IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

If it is a choice between Tobi+a random cocaster or LD+Lumi, Lumi+Merlini or any sort of that then the choice might be quite simple. Remember that BTS is not a single name, its more then that while Tobi is just Tobi unless he drags Wagamama across the ocean with him(which I highly doubt). While I am confident that Tobi+a good cocaster can pull equal numbers with BTS I don't see it happening solo.

BTS has a stable casting duo, Tobi doesn't.

even if the price pool can't warrant european teams to fly over, a 4 team lan with reborn EG, Dignitas and possibly Liquid +1 (possibly Kaipi if that counts as a NA team) would still be very interesting and exciting to watch. Seems like a pretty good time for MLG to start with Dota

EG has the cash to send over Alliance probably.

Alliance would guarantee an increase in European viewership.

Well it's an invitational. MLG need an absolute top team (basically Alliance or Na'Vi) for the tournament to have some validity. They can't just do an all American tournament because no one would care.

If they are bringing over EU teams I feel the prizepool would have to be at least $25k for it to be worth it. Aswesome that it's only a few hour drive from me, might be worth going!

Eh, if they bring Orange i think it'll be cooler than alliance or na'vi. though na'vi will bring more views because they always do.

Is anyone going to go to that event in person if there is an audience allowed? its RIGHT after my birthday and i live in the area soo... i'd love to go.

It has Liquid and Dignitas, two teams that did pretty well in TI3. That's enough to make people care.

It is not.

You might care about it, but American teams will not be bringing in any considerable viewer-ship for the foreseeable future. And an American only Lan would do nothing to raise the status of the winning team. It will just be seen as "okay they won that Lan, but there were only American teams".

I don't think Liquid or Dignitas's status in the scene has really changed all that much from before TI.

It's the first MLG event and a LAN, that will be enough for people to be curious. Sure it would be better to have Alliance + Navi + a chinese team, but even a 4 team event with 3 NA teams and one EU team should gather some interest. It won't be like ADL.

Liquid beat LGD.cn. That's not the mark of a bad team.

Dignitas has definatelly risen in respect after TI3. Some people were saying they were the absolute worst team, and they proved they were able to have a good run.

You're not talking about the same thing I'm talking about.

No American team has ever won a Lan event. You can't tell me that an event will be taken all that seriously if it's all American teams. America has good teams, they have no 'top' team. And without a top team, it's like last season of EMS, which was really boring.
