They were yeah, but now they're the best.

Honestly can someone more invested in the scene explain what's going on with chinese dota? I'm just curious why there seems to be no new talent breaking out, which was mentioned in some interview. At least I was under the impression that playing for a chinese team pays off financially.


My bro in law from China mentioned that in China if you go pro gaming, LoL attracts far more talents than dota (financial wise) ... as to why they also suck in LoL i have no idea...

dota in china from my understanding is an old boys club... the top teams rarely promotes or find new kids to mentor... now that the old boys are getting old... losing form or retiring or streaming... the problem is apparent.

Is there an E-Sport China is actually really good at?


No.

They're pretty good at Hearthstone from what I remember, though they also have expertise in mobile game rip-offs of Dota and Hearthstone.


Hearthstone is not an eSport. It's a card game. And they have issues even there: http://www.heroes.gosucup.com/hearthstone/news/33872-tiddlercelestial-the-chinese-players-are-far-less-professional-than-the-others

Warcraft 3 is not a current game. Bringing up Warcraft 3 is equivalent to bringing up Dota 1.

That's all in the past.


Define esports in a way where WC3 isn't one in china


You can't say "China is decent at this game" when no one else plays it.


What!? So we can't say America's decent at American football when basically no one else plays it? What does that make NFL/superbowl then?


You could say it but it is an useless statement. When no other region plays a sport/eSport, there is no way to measure your region's skill.


Well, aside from all the semantics, WC3 also has a Korean and Russian scene that are slowly being resurrected, online tournaments such as gera cup, and even some good English casters in Back2Warcraft. So the argument doesn't stand in case of wc3.

Also, good morning everyone, why the hell has there been only one series so far?

Back when Koreans were the only ones who played it, I'd make the exact same argument. You can't say they're the top region, unless there were other regions to compete with.

For reference, so everyone can make his own mind about "noone besides china plays wc3 anymore" and "china was getting rekt by korea when korea still cared about wc3":

Chinese caught back once they could play the game, remember they usually have a small delay (2 3 years) to massively play games because of their subpar computers. They eventually came out on top. And let's not forget that the only teams which could compete with the Chinese were just na'vi and later alliance for a very long time. Don't make it sound like TI4 was 5 years ago.
