enough bitching fellas.. you're just going to take it anyway and watch dota2. The fact that China can organize a tournament at this scale is already a pleasant surprise. Wait the delays and watch it live, or just wait and watch it on youtube, its no biggie. Lets bitch about other stuff.. like bruno's suit.

I've spent $70 on their compendium... Where's it going?

Likewise. This first game will say a lot... Hoping it'll be an absolute stomp for the Red KGB.

This tournament will hurt Dota more than help it if it keeps going like this. Edit: Apologies for my bitching. even the big bad LoL worlds have technical problems, this is not limited to DOTA2. BW never had these screw ups. Quake, Counter Strike... 10 years ago the average tournament with a prize pool of $1k was ran smoother. Just recently my memories of law tournaments have been really bad in Dota 2. Summit 2 filled with plague, and many others, and now supposedly the 2nd biggest tournament of the year also.
BW never had these screw ups because it was run by Korea. China is not Korea. The rest of the world is not Korea. Korea has the fastest/second fastest internet speed in the world. It has the most advanced online gaming infrastructure in the world. It's nice to pretend that professional gaming is actually professional outside of Korea but in the end, the facts speak for themselves.
I think Riot's LCS, Blizzard's WCS, and Valve's TI are the only professionally run video game competitions outside of Korea. Everyone else is basically an amateur.

BW never had those screw ups not because it had nice internet connections. But because all the games in serious leagues were LANs with TV translation of observers. And if we remember BW system requirements it kind of becomes obvious that having a PC fuck-ups was next to impossible there. And even then.... POWER OUTAGE.

Professional BW was all on LAN. I think the reason there were rarely(not never) technical screwups in BW is that it was only a 1v1 game and they used old computers/monitors.

It really wasn't Burning who kept 'his standard approach' to the game in DK LD. They were all perfectly willing to play what the team needed. One of Burning's best heros last year (imo) was Pugna for instance.

I mean, it helped a lot that BW in Korea was for the most part 1v1 (2v2 sometimes) with generally just one set of casters, and it was broadcast on TV. Not 5v5 with casters + spectators in four/five different languages broadcast to a dozen different streaming websites.

I am sure there had several technical fuck-ups in BW's long illustrious life as the progenitor of ESPORT, I mean it's just statistically and physically impossible otherwise.
And no when BW was dominant the Internet wasn't even a thing.

The system requirements increasing has no (or very little) relationship to a hardware failure. What is the risk of a i5 and gtx 760 fail, versus a celeron and integrated graphics. It's not like we're pushing the knowledge of mankind here.
