Like other people said, because its accepted in other sports doesn't mean we have to. We should be better than this. But we are better than this =p. Stuff like this happens at American tournaments, not at dreamhack. Never been much of an alliance fan for whatever reason, but now I'm looking forward to watching them grind TL and EG into the dust. | ||

The russians also have a negative stereotype. The NADota.com community being one of the worst ones in esports in general and not only defending behavior like this but approving of it and calling them pussies doesnt exactly help. The community reaction when this happened at MLGs starcraft tournament a while ago was the complete opposite, because the starcraft community is much better thankfully. Better? Im not sure what you are refering to. Every time Naniwa says something he gets blasted from all sides. Just because the reaction was better when some Koreans were at the receiving end doesn't change anything. | ||

I think we should all take the report of a rude rowdy crowd with a grain of salt too. The two people complaining are Loda and his known for drama girlfriend who is known for being hyperbolic. It could have been a small group of fans that did it that Loda was just complaining about it and Kelly blew it out of proportion. Or the America crowd is filled with assholes that are booing Alliance. Both are possible. But most America crowds are all bark and no bite. They boo and jerk because trash talking is fun and in the end everyone is just getting into it. Yankees fans go to games at Fenway park with their Yankees hat on. They get booed and jerked and they trash talk right back. But at the end of the day, everyone goes home. It don't think its that big of a deal at the end of the day as long as booing is the only thing that happens. | ||

So I have no clue what Loda/KM is talkin about. which makes me think more that it was just one or two guys and that this has been blown out of proportion | ||

There are 21'000 at MLG? Wow :O. Eh you got that a bit wrong. 21'000 online tickets at 10 dollar. | ||

Not to mention if they made any money from the bundle that they were selling. I'd say that Dota 2 has been pretty good for them in its inaugural run. | ||
