Riot has been pushing LoL on tournaments for a while trying to get entrenched before Dota 2 comes out. Too bad LoL went the way of casual rather than competitive gameplay, it could have been so much fun to watch. | ||

Think of it this way - the SC2 prize pool would be much larger if Blizzard chipped in as well. On August 13 2011 07:53 broz0rs wrote: For the love of God, MLG please don't stream on Own3d.tv. I don't want to look at a black screen for half the time I'm trying to watch the game. MLG has their own streaming platform and I think they partnered up with justin.tv, so it probably won't be own3d.tv. Dreamhack and its qualifiers were own3d because they are run by (N)ESL and that's what they use. | ||

I seriously can't believe the number 3 dota like game with dota 2 coming soon just pops out of noowhere and mlg are willing to offer to the winners more $ than to the SC players. By that logic Halo gets more money than sc2 even though It probably has a fraction of the viewers. Remember it is split among FIVE players ,not to mention that the game simply has more active players both halo and LoL. But don't confuse numbers for "unpopular" the Sc2 community easily has the most amount of players to spectators, while games like halo have WAY more players than spectators but that doesn't make games "unpopular" Also there is no way to rank "number 3 dota like game" LoL is not dota it appeals to different audiences and will be here to stay even with DotA 2's release, maybe not on a competitive level, but on a playerbase level. | ||

Because LoL is way bigger and dota2 will not crush LoL like everyone think. :/ Glad to see this game at MLG. I play it a lot, it's very fun and easy to understand for newcomer. | ||

People need to lead and micromanage their whole team to secure victory. It's not as easy as qwer win. So many players ladder to get top Elo and wave their epeens as much as SC. Acknowledge ESPORTS it's natural for them to feel threatened. LoL has a massive following and it will draw in huge numbers for MLG. there have been LoL streams that pushed well above 100k while sc2 maxed out at around 90k during NASL and DH finals. it wont take the main stage though, i guarantee that. | ||

They emailed me an overview of a new gameplay that ALMOST drew me back in....but then I reaffirmed my devotion to SC2 and stopped myself. Hurray! Because playing two games is blasphemy? Enjoy both if you like both. Related to thread: I like this choice, if the viewcount at Dreamhack was any indication, people like watching this game, despite it's slower early pace..it can only be good for MLG. | ||
