Don't get too excited.

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.

You just had to go and make everyone with their tunnel vision a little bit sad didn't you.

I don't think it will be $5 million worth of cash prizes but at the same time it's hard to compare to dota2's marketing tournament.

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.

They need to release obs mode and replays. At least one of the two, preferably both. That way people can actually MAKE tournaments and have people watch them (obs) and make playing tournament games a LOT more easy by allowing teams to pre play them when everyone is able to (replays).

But Ive only been saying this for a year now. So they prolly just gonna keep pouring money like water into a leaky bucket and hope they can use it to put out the fire that is valve.

LoL needs better commentators like Day9, tasteless, etc

Why? They already have GRACKIS, the king of commentary. He's always so insightful!

Which you cant have since there are no replays and obs mode. Its a vicious circle stemming from riots ineptitude.

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)

phreak's a very good player, he just gets flustered and says stupid shit while commentating just to keep talking.

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

Id buy that phreak is a very good player, but then I watch his champ previews and laugh at every single one of his builds.

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
