Now that I'd rather introduce myself as "some unknown dude of TeamLiquid's LoL community", I don't really feel affected by the DotA pickup. I just hope it'll go smooth for them and the rest of the site, and that there won't be too many childish DotA-"siders" to come here and try to rub it in our faces. I wouldn't care, but I'd have to burn more calories scrolling my mouse's wheel to get to the quality content.  Also I don't mean anything insulting to DotA's community, but we simply know that most of the SC2 community prefers DotA and a portion of them tends to hate on LoL in a non-constructive manner. | ||

LoL is more more popualr and has a better community than DOTA2, Dota2 picked up a lot of the HoN community, which as we know, is a heap of crap. I would argue that the majority of the LoL community is just as bad, if not worse than the DotA 2 community. I am pretty bad at DotA but I think I've only been straight up told that I suck and should go die once or twice, while I am much better at LoL and that happens way more frequently. | ||

BECAUSE CHINA BRO Source: DotA2 Coverage Announcement discussions not sure if troll or sacastic. anyways. even reading the thread on it, so many people bash LoL and don't get warned/banned and people who bash on dota2 get banned almost instantly. Just fairly sure there is a lot of bias going around. and thats what bothers me more. I would rather see a sc only site than one with LoL or Dota2, or both. TL will always be my sc site. | ||

Just like SC2/Dota players coming into the LoL subforum and bashing us get warned/banned, anyone going into that thread (in the Dota2 section) looking for trouble will get it. People can talk shit all they want about other games as long as they keep it to their own section. | ||

Chinese sponsors do, and that's relevant because China is one of the two markets that is seeing the biggest growth in eSports. Companies in China do advertise through their eSports teams and players, so the viewer counts from China matter a lot for monetization. | ||

I am however convinced that no matter what, LoL will still be more popular (at least in korea/EU/US) because its mechanics and graphics are way easier to understand. DotA seems to me a way more elitist game, even more with its 1h long games. I am wondering something tho, people argue that DotA 2 is bigger because of the enormous playbase of DotA, but who said all these players will play DotA2 ? I mean, people still play BW and slowly convert to SC2, won't this happen with DotA 2 too ? | ||
