I like LoL much better as a game than I do DotA 2 due to the differences in game design, aesthetics choice and efforts to make the community well-behaved, so I just hid away all the DotA 2 content via the site coverage options. While I don't share the interest that the admins seem to have for the game, I'm very grateful that they added the site coverage options to streamline the user experience of those of us who are more interested in Starcraft 2 and other TL site content, and I wish them the best with their DotA 2 endeavors.

While I can't think of anything I can contribute right now to TL LoL, you raise a good point that it's up to us to make our sub-forum everything it can be (and maybe more than that). I'll give this some more thought.

It's an interesting choice considering LoL is screaming out for a community driven site and Dota2 has many of them already running.

Congrats and good luck

I gotta be honest,as the LOL community is now,I wouldn't want TL to ever become the foothold for it.

Yeah I completly agree, it's the only forum where I can ask dumb question without being instantly flamed. LoL is a nice game, but its community is full of kids.

I just hope NeoIllusions doesn't exhaust himself for our pleasure, if I can help in anything I will do it considering the little time I can give.

But how is China even relevant to the growth of the scene....Can sponsors even advertise their product there,let alone place it?If Dota was such a huge thing in China and it was so easy to monetize it I'm pretty sure someone would have done it already.I don't see company's standing in line to support dota.

China has always been kinda of secluded from the rest of the e-sport world, in all games. SC1, WC3, Dota, even SC2, everytime China has its own little eco system.

While I'm primarly a LoL player and I understand its popularity it doesn't change the fact that the professionalism, depth, history, features and maturity the competitive dota 2 scene/game has just isn't there yet for LoL.

The LoL scene doesn't deserve to be covered by THE most respected esport site on the planet. Thats how I feel right now.

How is the Dota International 2 viewership? I think I see around 30k on own3d English stream and around 20K on Twitch.tv. So I would estimate all languages streams is around 70K at most.
That isn't even close to some mid-level LoL tourney. LoL can pull like 200K-300K easily.

You are forgetting in-game stream client. I think in NA, and Europe the viewership for LOL is better. But once you throw Asia in the mix....... Right now I think they are probably sitting around 100k for the western viewers.

You can also spectate in-game and listen to commentary from in-game options. So it's not a full figure.

Nearly 90-120k average viewers in day1 and day2 of NA Regionals. A little over 800k unique viewers for day2 as well.

Oh, I see. But I don't think the viewers from Dota clients can double the 70K figure, why you want to fire a client just to watch a game? I'd watch it on own3d or twitch.tv as what I am doing right now since I want to see give Dota 2 another chance to impress me, past experiences were not that good.

Well if we really want to compare E-dicks, its probably better for the international to finish and just let steam to tell us the figures.

There were 69,659 people watching in-game CLG v M5 during group stages which was one of the most viewed games. And also, it's likely the semifinals and finals will have more viewers than group stage matches. Also, group stages matches were played concurrently so hard to say what the combined figure at any point in time was until Valve says so.

DotaTV is nice because you can spectate the game and control the camera yourself while having options to choose from different commentators for audio or disable commentary. You can also choose to set a camera lock to what a commentator is seeing if you're lazy.

What? I am seriously trying to get into Dota 2 and see how good it is. Got a beta a few months ago but nothing seems special about Dota 2 after 20 games or so. I was playing LoL most of the time though.

Ops, sorry. I just get kind of annoyed whenever people want to compare lol and dota view figure. Usually think there is an ulterior motive behind it.

Don't see why dota 2 gets picked up now. It's not available to the wide public.
To me, it looks like a big company throwing money at a problem. Like Blizzard did with diablo 3 and behold the soulless abomination they spawned. Of course there's the established competitive community... but isn't that the DOTA 1 community?

incidentally, what happened to that dota lawsuit between blizzard and valve?


gl with the new section.

isnt that what riot is doing with LoL. paid money to MLG, IEM and IPL to have LoL in their leagues and then also have a clause that forbids them from allowing any other moba game on their league.

valve and blizzard reached an 'agreement' where valve gets the 'dota' name and blizzard changes their sc2 mod name from 'blizzard dota' to 'blizzard allstars'

Looking at the number of recent dota-related bans, I am glad we are not on the front page.
