Grant has probably done more for Dota than anyone on this site despite his uncouth personality.

I have nothing against Grant, I've talked to him IRL and he's a nice guy, I just don't think he meets any of our featured stream criteria and he doesn't really deserve a feature. I'm also unsure what he's done for the dota scene but that's more because I wasn't around for Hon or Dota 1 so I probably just don't know and he's probably done something

People wanting to legitimize esports is what kills esports and in the grand scheme of things the community is less than 10% of the playbase.

what a silly thing to say. legitimizing esports grows esports, obviously.

what it kills are the tightknit old-guard communities full of retards who just want to pat each other on the back or punch each other in the dick and feel superior to everyone else.

People trying to court the "main stream" while taking the core fans for granted is what kills some Esports. People to greedy for the next big market.

no you're just too dumb to understand sorry

interesting sentiment from you beesa, someone who claims to not even like dota but still intends to make money off of it. why wouldn't you want there to be as much money available as possible?
