Also goody, how do you do your post to have the lines below g guard esports and how do you link to liquidpedia? open bracket + hr + closing bracket like this [/hr] (remove the forwardslash from above that's the exactly it ) and for linking the liquidpedia .. i usually just copy the url of the player/team/whatever from the liquidpedia and then surround it with the url or use the 'URL' function on the text editor available here. or you can use the player/team name and surround it by the following below (again remove the first forward slash and that is it) if you are finding difficulty on how things work you can always copy it through quoting and checking how it works | ||

The winner of yesteryear's SEA wildcard was Arrow who is now defunct due to betting, and frankly none of the other Malayasian teams have had the LAN experience versus high calibur teams in contrast to MVP and Rave. The good news is that it's a new patch, so maybe the chaos and paradigm shift would make that easier than you'd think. That's not to say there's a shortage of skilled malayasian players, there's just a shortage of skilled teams. | ||

That's not to say there's a shortage of skilled malayasian players, there's just a shortage of skilled teams. As things stand now, I sadly don't see that changing.There's enough money in the Western and Chinese scenes for teams to treat Dota as their full-time job, which incentivizes top pub players to go pro and allows people to practice all day. In SEA? Not so much, unfortunately. It leads to a feedback loop where SEA players are less likely to earn money from Dota, so they're less likely to try. I think even the average American team will be better than the average SEA team within a year or two(even taking out EG and the top SEA team at that moment), there's simply many more opportunities in the Americas. It's an unfortunate situation and I don't think a whole lot can be done about it. | ||

It's an unfortunate situation and I don't think a whole lot can be done about it. Well the good news is that it doesnt take that much money to make it "worth it" in SEA. I have to question the viewership in SEA. Surely if there's lots of Dota fans in SEA, there must be some advertisers who want to market to that large audience, someone's not seeing the opportunity here, I think. I maybe ignorant and it's much more complicated in SEA, but like, if there's sporting teams making money by selling tickets to events, there certainly must be a market. | ||

Wildcard means different things in the sports I follow I messed up. and i disagree with your conclusion. They're disconnected from the rest of the world, that's true but they don't even have much for themselves to connect to, to begin with, But yea, like I said before, some SEA organizers need to pitch how Dota is popular with young people to have these events with the money to support the player. There's a value in Dota's popularity in SEA that's not being taken advantage of. | ||
