i dont even get hyped by hype casting (except maybe if i were at a live event) so good riddance

well there are occassion like the SURPISE MOTHERFUCKER by Cap that's hypes me on online matches

the live event crowd screaming like nuts heavily helps .. now i'm still sad that we didn't get a live cast on DAC

shouldnt be a surprise that dota will shrink to a more sustainable size after some time.
gonna get eclipsed more and more by new games to get excited about, and people will continue to jump ship.
dont see why it would bother anyone though.

Just needs a patch and some more team stability.

because we want it to be LE FOOTBALL big AREANS HAHA CITY TEAMS ETC ETC

I don't think there will be any positive change unless either some sort of unification / unionization / centralization from valve starts happening. Valve will probably let it die though. Team stablization won't occur naturally at this point.

anyways the central issue at hand is money anyways.

Yes, I was talking about when the qualifiers are done and when the main events are. I will look them up and see.

Not every studio that shoots the moon in Dota is going to make it and it would be really stupid to only cover one game. Its like only practicing one type of law, its a terrible idea.

I meant those are the lan events that should happen.

The big ones not including the smaller ones like mpgl or Major Allstars. About the date idk .

iirc he was originally a CoD caster

team stabilization wont occur until theres enough money in the scene for players/managers/agents to have real incentive to keep shit together.
and no way valve is gonna subsidize a scene that cant sustain itself.

Is everyone here forgetting that Tobi started out casting Counterstrike? This is, like, a return to his days of youth, here. It's not "jumping ship."

Maybe cs:go has more grills that he can creep on? I wouldn't know. n_n

The problem is that pretty much every single person involved in the business aspect of the ESPORTS scene is a joke who only got anywhere because ESPORTS has been in a dotcom-esque bubble for a few years now.

Yeah, I didn't want to be dismissive of CSGo, but the game seems ripe for any type of hype caster. The "in depth" seems to happen between rounds and a co-caster could do that.
