Same i actually dont watch the stream anymore until a game starts i cant watch it its sad as hell..... probably the last WePlay we are going to see , no sponser is going to shell out 200K in prizes + hospitality (which looks AMAZING in PPD vlog) to end up with 20 ppl in the crowd.

MVP if they both play their best ,but i have a feeling Vega are in better shape now and will make it a very close series , 2-1 , probably going MVP way .

Amazing Arena actually , love the 360 and the lights and effects , if anything to go by it probably had 0 promotion in kyiev , and most ppl who play Dota dont follow forums i cant fathom how Navi in their home town gets 0 live audience it really feels like no one knew about it


The MLG New Orleans-effect. No one knew about it until it was over.

For Vega, it's definitely about having the Bans on point. And having DPS + Sustain if MVP goes for their "tanky as all hell" line ups.

For MVP, it's definitely about not getting caught in the draft. Vega has a bunch of curveballs they can throw.

Is this the last series of the day? Because that means eg or empire could potentially play 3 series in a day?

Like has been said before, I think companies don't do enough actual promotion of their events outside of them existing. They rely too much on people just knowing about it because they're Dota2 fans, but when tournament season is packed, you need an actually promotional push to let people know in that region there will be a tournament.

Even the online promotion was terrible. Compare ESL's online promotion to WePlay and there's a lot of issues for people remembering WePlay is even happening.

Outside of that, I wish non-majors would get off the Arena train unless they're a Major anyway. I like smaller venues. I think ESL One New York was a good size.

No, EG vs Team Empire last series.

Starladder was in Kiev just two weeks ago, as well. Which might also explain part of the problem.

Well , i can understand the mentality , you cant charge alot of money in eastern europe per ticket as you can in NYC , so you want to cover the big expense you have in prizepool and accomedation , and it seems teams dont want to play online anymore so its either a big Lan or no Lan , i guess we will have "no lan" from more organizers

Physical promotion in regions is underrated as well. Most dota2 viewers aren't on forums or hounding twitter, but Dota2 is also fucking huge in CIS regions. Put big ass posters in multiple cities "NAVI! DOTA2! <date location>", billboards on the highway and shit. The costs for these things for ~1 month isn't that high compared to initial investment, especially when you're renting a large arena.

Isn't this also attached to some Trade Show or something? (Like some of the tournaments at Gamescon, in Germany.) Might really confuse the issue, as well.

That's some serious commitment for that rune with like two Iron Branch Tangos consumed.

If Vega carries this late, unless MVP.P is snowballing, they should eventually out-carry this, right? As long as Puck can jump the Phoenix, the late-game looks kind of bad for MVP?

Vega has a bigger hp poool, go blademail on LD and his bear, ursa and treant while blademail is only really reasonnable on slardar and axe. Vega should win this one if they follow my pro tip.
