But I'm not going to argue about it further about it. | ||

Are we talking total or concurrent? | ||

It'll be interesting to see the numbers for s2 lol. If they can pull numbers from china in any serious way things are going to get out of control I think fast on the numbers front. | ||

DOTA 2 isn't actually with PAX though right? If what I think is true, sc2 numbers won't change as there is no integration from DOTA 2 to the sc2 tournaments. And I am not surprised at the numbers for the TI2, only a couple of years ago the projected Chinese population alone was 20 million. Edit: I assumed you meant sc2 instead, I have no clue what s2 is if you meant to use it so correct me if I am wrong. | ||

Don't see how important viewer numbers are as long as they stay within reasonable distances. We're sort of peaking for the amount of people actually interested in watching streamed esports, and those interested in mobas probably watch everything available. Not everyone hates on other games. The only thing i don't like about dota2 is not getting a key after signing up for the steam invite stuff months ago. | ||

And in the end, both games have profited from each other anyway. Also, I even like the LoL community on this site better than the sc2 community. Thats probably because its smaller and therefore more "nice". So not much reason to want it to expand. Dota benefited from lol? No. | ||

They also have people watching from their spectator client as well as the Chinese/Russian streams. The 500k was a number they showed during the game and there's no reason not to believe them. They may not have benefited directly, but Riot's presence is definitely helpful for Valve. A lot of people who didn't know about the MOBA/ARTS genre got into LoL and now this exposure will be extended to Dota 2. Also, competition between 2 similar games will keep the developers honest and cut corners - this means the end product will always be improving and benefit the company's image. I'm sure if there's another competitive RTS that can compete with SC2, Blizzard won't be so slow to improve the game to what the community expects them to have right from the beginning. | ||

That's like saying SC helped the red alert series because they brought more people into RTS. | ||

I don't get why you're so hostile tword lol in the lol sub forum. You really had to chose to go to the lol subforum and post in a thread about lol to get where you are now. dota has its own whole section now and you have ti2 to go watch instead of coming in and trying to cause problems. | ||

We should compete for that honor on our own merits, and have to take it from anyone. It's not a zero sum game. Good for DotA and therefore good for us that TL has taken this step. If we get more constant content producers in this subforum, then our day will be soon. That's all well and good, but how many people actually believe this was an objective decision based solely on the merits? The writing was on the wall many many months ago. It's not a case of "well we'll just compete for it and eventually get it" -- that will never happen. It would be one thing if administrators had simply came out and said "we prefer DotA 2 and have chosen to sponsor it," rather than trying to convince themselves (and us) otherwise. That I simply cannot respect. | ||

I stick around for TL LoL since you can't find a better community for LoL in 7 galaxies. True that about not finding a better LoL community anywhere else. I just wish the chat channel for TL in LoL was a little more active and talkative in North America. I really think TL should have done both LoL and DotA 2 at the same time. TL is a really good community overall, and I was hoping LoL could get a little more love here. | ||
