DotA 2 is 1mil over a few days (ONE single tournament) LoL is 5mil over an entire season. yeah the way they announced it, it sounds like 1 big season 2 championship but it's not. To be honest thats a good thing, a lot of tournaments for 100,000+, even 250,000 plus could really boost the scene. this means more tournaments to be played in. Also what would be even more awesome is if Valve announced their first "season" will be for 10+ million. More money in the esports world isn't a bad thing at all, and it probably brings so many more ppl in, it's good for the companies anyways. | ||

The fact that its 5mil over an entire season is why this is a good move by Riot. Teams that may have been thinking about switching to DotA2 will probably stay with LoL now, and they will stay for the whole second season. | ||

I should rephrase: For big tournaments sponsored by Riot I don't want Phreak (herp derp LOOK AT THEM LAST HITTING) + moron (so what does baron do? durrr) commentating them. I want real and exciting commentary like Day9, tasteless, etc do. Fuck, HuskyStarcraft is better than what Riot has and I hate his voice. | ||

And that wont happen until they get obs and replays out so people can practice and put shit up on youtube to get a following. | ||

Agree to th e max.. they need someone with high elo experience to commentate no more bad commentary especially on teamfights. you can tell even phreak has no idea what his talking about.. eg zilean with clutch ult and massive double bomb and commentators will go hurr dur they didn't focus the carry! Tldr need less rioters need more treeeskimos (he doesn't count as rioters quite yet) | ||

I would be interesting in getting into the commentating business if I weren't more interested in the playing business. | ||

I have no doubt he is a very good player but his teamfight commentary + actual observing not very professional.. as a audience member it is annoying when turning sound off and analyzing myself is better | ||
