Not to mention the majority of SEA teams in lol are culled from rising dota players.

But they're SEA teams...

Please wise guru PX. Enlighten me on how you come to the conclusion that SEA teams are better than Western teams.

Please sir, I need to figure out what your mind is thinking when you make these ridiculous claims without any evidence to back it up. Maybe one day I can be as sagacious as you are.

No no I know it's not confirmation bias because I have another example that proves what I want to hear. Didn't you know destiny is only D2?!?

average SEA team finish at S2: 5.25
average Western team finish at S2: 7.6666

By S2 results, we can clearly see that SEA > West

now obviously a lot might have changed from last year but until S3 we can only go by S2 results
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Ugh, please stop talking out of your ass. What teams from SEA are you even talking about here that are comparable to CLG and TSM (not even going to talk about C9/Vulcun here)?
Perhaps SGS? The team that failed to qualify for Worlds a second year in a row, despite touted as the best team in the region. Or maybe you mean Mineski, the team that "subbed" in at the last minute and managed to win the whole thing. Says a lot about SEA, doesn't it?

I swear, it's like you didn't even watch the SEA Regional qualifiers.

I give you a ton of leeway when it comes to theorycrafting (you should thank TheYango about this tbh) but if you're going to making snide and blatantly wrong comments like this, I'm going to call you out.

EUW insult of the day
Master yi to me: Go play dota 2 diana.

I've got DotA 2 pro tell me they find LoL more difficult than DotA 2.
Most of the ones I've talked to can't break higher than gold even trying hard.

So... That makes sense ? :D


What does "trying hard" mean? I cant imagine a DotA 2 pro having problems being better than me at LoL :O

200+ games. Nobody on the aAa DotA 2 squad has a decent ranking in LoL even though they played quite a lot of it.

Tbh I found this hilarious xD They're not high-profile pro like any attending TI though. Ofc those ones would break D1 in LoL just as easily as high-profile LoL pros would be in very high matchmaking in a few hundred games.

Is anyone on the aAa squad decent at dota2 ? :p

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Against_All_authority

They got a Liquipedia page they're legit ! xD

I don't know if you actually believe this idiocy or you're just trying really fucking hard to sell LoL as harder than DotA 2.

Thank you, Kupon.

To get a grasp of the aAa teams relative level, what LoL team would you compare them to?

Well lets put it this way.

- We'll consider the 6 EU teams that went to TI3 equivalent to EU LCS.
- Then we consider a level below that we have teams like ICCup, rox.Kis, Kaipi, ex-QPAD, etc. Teams that can win games from some of the "LCS" teams and who are interchangeable with the bottom end LCS ones by performance. These would be equivalent to the Challenger level teams.
- Then below that we have those teams that go to events and they do well enough for you to sort of know who they are but they never actually go anywhere. In DotA these are teams like 4FC, ex-RDM (the Synderen team), etc.

aAa's DotA team is somewhere below that 3rd tier. They're that team that stomps local LANs in an area that doesn't really have LANs for the game, they play online cups and win a couple games off teams you've never heard of, and sometimes get a lucky run in an open cup if the bracket gives them enough no-name teams, but as soon as they face a team you've ever heard of before, they lose.

OK dota 2 is the best and hardest game and if dota 2 teams wanted to, they would dominate the LoL scene and get that 500k/anno Lcs money or whatever it is plus all the tournament prizes plus 10 times the stream viewers. But of course they dont want to trade playing the bestest game for making supid amounts of money, not a single dota 2 team would do that!


So, can people go back to their respective forums now that this is settled?




P.S. Or maybe the two games are just really differnt and this discussion is useless, who knows.

SEA representative in S2 was Saigon Joker only, TPA is not SEA team, it represented Taiwan/HongKong/Macau.

Although Garena run Taiwanese LoL server, but they still make sure 2 regions are different. GPL SEA and GPL TW/HK are different. We of course still have tounrnaments like GPL Summer which combine everything under Garena. In a sense, it's like Riot runs LCS NA and LCS EU, which are 2 different one, but Garena sometimes have tournaments that mesh 2 together for fun.

I'm talking specifically about our League of Legends subforum. This is the first actual conversation (where at least some people are legitimately not trolling) about the merits of Dota and League as games. Usually I feel like we do a good job recognizing the two as different games and, although most of us here prefer League, we show a good amount of respect toward Dota.

Who knows, maybe I'm romanticizing. But this is how I remember it.

Did Misaya and Double come from Dota background or something? I'm confused. I know Link plays Dota at a (I assume) relatively high level but not much about anyone else
