Disgusting reaction lol. Dendi is getting death threats and sick insults for that. Defending your culture by presenting it in a horrible light, stay classy Chinese fans.

About MLG.

I been following MLG since it's Halo 2 days. The 2 things that MLG asks for the games they showcase is LAN support, as well as developer support. That is EXTREMELY important for them. They hate to rely on Internet.

I think DotA 2 is getting LAN support soon (someone find it, I know I saw it some where.) So will DotA 2 be picked up by MLG? I don't think so yet. They have LoL already and with how they do their games, having DotA 2 and LoL right next to each other might not be extremely wise considering the fans will be at each other's throats.

Sundance or the organizers probably realized how big DotA 2 is getting, with Koreans getting into it just now, how big this Alienware Cup ended up with viewer wise with just NaVi vs China. They are probably interested but I don't see them doing anything aside from Online Tournament. I know for certain they did a Showmatch awhile ago with EG vs Na'Vi. It went ok, but there was a lot of lag because of the oversea connection.

I don't see MLG getting DotA 2. I see them picking up another Alienware Cup tournament if possible, flying the Chinese teams over for it but for every tournament they organize? No.

MLG is just interested because of how big the viewer count was for something that wasn't The International.

If it was no big deal, do tell me why Dendi's Chinese fans reacted so aggressively. Do tell me why pros such as Chuan and Zhou essentially said, "Do you know what you just said?" Do tell me why Xiao8's ex-gf is receiving a lot of flak at the moment for Dendi's comment. Anyways, Na'Vi has already apologized so no need for further discussion.

It is but at the same time I don't think everyone in China will just start hating Dendi from now on. Yes his reputation took a hit, but ChuaN jumped to his defense asking why he said it right after the game. It will probably take awhile for Dendi to get his reputation back but eventually he will.

Especially when he most probably didn't know what he said. He apologized fast, xiao8 accepted. What's done is done. Ruru also voiced her opinion, so this really isn't just Dendi. It really comes down to xiao8's break-up with his ex which kind of spilled over.

The break-up is apparently pretty huge in China so.

The amount of games which MLG currently run that have Lan support

=

0? SC2 doesn't, LoL doesn't. CoD on console I don't know, I'd assume it doesn't.

BO2 does. It's MLG's history of it. SC2 and LoL can be ignored mainly because of the game itself. Most games prior to SC2 and LoL, MLG prioritized LAN and Developer support.

Virtually every PC multiplayer game before that time had Lan.

Seriously now, Lan has nothing to do with it.

MLG prioritizes money. They don't run any games currently which they haven't gotten direct funding from the developer for.

MLG does, that's only have started when they got more and more attention.

When MLG first started, it was small, Halo only event. That didn't change all the way up until half way into Halo 2 or so. That kept on going until Halo 3 when Sundance became CEO and they started expanding into other games by picking up LoL and SC2.

MLG dropped Halo Reach when they realized the game had no support, and they weren't getting things they were asking for. They didn't pick up MW3 either because, no LAN, lack of support from IW. Nor did they pick up GoW 3. While GoW 3 had dev support, it was beaten out by another game (I don't remember what it was but it didn't go anywhere.)

I don't like to sound cocky but I know MLG. Sundance had said it time and time again before, MLG looks for certain things in the games they want.

This has obviously changed recently because of how big MLG had become, but the basics hasn't changed. Sundance will always be Sundance, he created MLG with a buddy and now he is CEO. Your views on how you run a business won't change so drastically because of it.

I don't see them picking up DotA 2 because as someone said already, they keep talking about it but never do anything actually to show interest aside from some tweets here and there.

I'm sorry but I don't care what MLG have done or what Sundance has said.

Their actions say they don't care about Lan support. Them picking up a game that doesn't have Lan support doesn't mean that's the reason. Even if they say that's the reason, as long as they run multiple games without Lan support, then they don't care about it.

This isn't the mid 2000's when Lan support was an expected feature in a multiplayer game.

Who taught Dendi to say what he said to Xiao8 in that game?

apparently some Chinese girl, possibly xiao8's ex but I'm not sure if it's confirmed.


people are really making this way to big of a deal. both sides have commented and sylar even said xiao8 wasn't even mad.

let's not be sc2 level sensitive QQ masters and make tons of drama out of nothing.
