Aww yay Jatt Loci love. Loci's games with Ryze at IPL3 was what made me start playing Ryze, although that was a really really long time ago now that I think about it. Glad to hear from you again!

Yea sen went really deep into the SC2 world championships so if it is him I would think it would be just for leisure.

But sometimes I'm curious and I read Dota2 threads. And they all start with people saying "If you come from LoL never say champions, say heroes or people will flame the hell out of you."
And when I read this I'm just kinda like "Nah, I think I'd rather leave that game alone."
I get the same when I read the lol forums. Just for example where everyone bashed Armageddon for being a dota team. Good manners here. Also Riot with their anticompetitive stance doesn't really help.

I don't think the Armageddon bashing in the IEM Singapore thread had anything to do with them being a DotA team, and everything to do with them being bad at LoL.
Edit: I mean, you know it's bad when the post-game analysis highlight is the very start of the game (literally 0:00), with ZenonTheStoic giving the following cogent analysis live to everyone who was watching, "That was pretty much the last moment that Armageddon really had a chance, but that is the point that Elo Hell took the game, ran away with it, and I think that it was over here."

I assume he means anti-competitive as in Riot's exclusivity contracts with MLG/IPL/etc., or the rumored team-exclusivity contracts for season 3, rather anti-competitive in the sense of "against the development of competitive gaming".

i put them in the same categroy as "riot has the stream embedded in the game client"
I mean, the exclusivity contracts with MLG/IPL were confirmed to be true. Whether you consider them fair is your personal opinion, but you can't really dismiss them as being false.

Didn't MLG do a Dota2 thing not too long ago? An arena or rumble or some such thing.

That was Gamebattles--which is strictly online.
iam pretty sure if coca cola (or dr. pepper)would sponsor an event you would not see pepsi anywhere. Its business and I am pretty sure valve would do the same.

I'm not saying I disagree, just that it shouldn't be dismissed as false in the same way as the "stream window in client" and "S3 team exclusivity" stuff was, because it's more or less confirmed.
Also, I'm fairly certain that nobody in the DotA 2 camp was (or at least shouldn't be) chastising LoL for having a stream in the client when you can watch major DotA 2 tournaments in-client as a spectator. IMO Riot should actually be encouraged to embed the stream in the client, not chastised for doing so.
