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.

Oh no, people posting negative stuff on twitter, what will we do? Seriously, I take twitter drama about as seriously as I take Esports reddit drama.

Edit: Dragon Knight is fun hero when people understand his only job it to destroy towers. Takes VG for getting that done.

If you look at the ESPN reactions yeah its not good but its like 30 people and half of them is more WTF is this than I hate this.

It gives off a bad impression but it doesnt say anything
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

Some of the "wtf is this" could even be positive reactions. "Dota 2 on espn2?? What in the actual fuck" could mean anything. Some are even directing people to tune in, joking about "Maybe I should play more video games," due to the 11 million. Whoever cherrypicked these did a poor job if they wanted to convey negative reactions.

All tickets sold out and people at the event say that DURING games it's packed.

From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

All right, you there is this place where you can get food and buy stuff when the game isn't running. Everyone comes back during the draft, just like you do at your house. There is literally 15 minutes of warning before the action starts so everyone just gets up and stenches there legs.

Though Valve should remember to get some B-roll of the seats being filled so they can show it during the broadcast, just so people know that the seats are filled. But live and learn for next year.

There is no way it is starting in 3 hours, what the FUCK are they going to do during that time.

I think they are just trying to be positive about a losing team that did very well. Esports fans generally are very harsh teams that take third place.

I bet they have similar footage for Newbee. They knew EG was going to be at least 3rd so they probably made footage for EG + Newbee early and are showing EG now as a lead-in to footage for Newbee and VG.

Let me be the first to say this: it's also highly sickening as a Facepuncher that people are bitching about the proposal. Though I didn't get to see the footage (thank you Bell Media/CTV /s), we were informed quite in advance of the ESPN2 airing of the good deed that LD and Kaci did for them. Really goes to show how shitty some people are.


What proposal is this person talking about exactly?

This is so fucking sad... FFS EG, why didnt you try harder? No hype at all for this finals even though there's this insane prize pool.

Not sure why there's no hype for the finals, 11 million dollars from the world is going straight into the people of China.

We're literally investing in a new America.

People on twitter also bitched about ESPN showing soccer during worldcup, so I couldn't give less of a shit, what some narrow minded people think.

Possibly because there's so many non-gamers involved and so much of this artificial hype spread over the last few weeks that the people who truly cared just gave up.
