Pretty good numbers iem stream has been between 15 and 100k almost 24 hours a day due to reruns.
Dominion looks fun as hell, much better than tt although i hope they never balance around it.

Dominion looks like 3v3 but with 5 people and no neutral control.

Idk i always loved ab and it reminds me of that, and the back and forth is quite cool rather than the unkillable 3s meta.

I think the good thing about Dominion is that it tries to create a new game mode wich adds varity to the game.
Twisted Treeline was in all fairness just an attempt to create a 3v3 map of the classic Dota map. I don't often say something is perfect but the Dota map design is simply like a chessboard, you don't tweak that, it's perfect as is.
Dominion doesn't try to copy the summoner rift gameplay but truly creates a new game mode and that's the way to go if you don't want it to die out like TT.
If you start up LoL you don't have a choice in game mode, you can decide wether to play 3v3 or 5v5 of wich only the 5v5 is really played or balance. You don't swap between maps because you like one format better then the other and when you do, the other provides nothing.
Dominion can be used to keep things fresh, a truly new perspective. It doesn't have to be balanced about but balancing through items could be a good idea. It could be great fun to watch with it's high intensity play.

Balance on Dominion will likely be item based stuff. But there are some champion tweaks due to some interesting imbalances that were found on Dominion that other people probably haven't noticed yet.

Just to credit it dyrus was one of the big forces behind beating double ap with singed top and soraka jax bot, since he is the master of both.
Too bad Dyrus constantly complained about how underpowered Jax was, considering he was stronger in the dreamhack patch than he is now they might have done better had they picked him.

3rd/4th place match (Fnatic vs M) starts "officially" in about 11 hours from the time of this post.

From what I can tell the picks will probably be very similiar to TT: Basically no support, hardly any range carries, burst, tanks and mobility seem to be king. Support are soo good on SR that they will probably never be used on Dominion.

Phreak rocking that fedodo like a bawz

Karthus time in Dominion, should be interesting.
EDIT: nvm that Karthus fails at using requiem, saw like 5 times already he should have ulted to get 2-3 kills and didn't ult.
"All of my ults are getting interrupted."
Sigh, this means you are doing it wrong.

I'm amazed how many people are watching, some are even standing in the middle, front and ofc back. I'm kinda excited how LOL mLg will go and seeing how 2 american teams are in the finals.

The thing about dominion is that they are still 5v5 fights. 3v3 is broken because 3 tanky characters win when put up against 3 non tanky characters. In full 5s 2 or 3 squishies and some beef are enough to take out 5 beefy characters.
|
From what I've seen Dominion seems to be more about isolated 1-3 v 1-3 man fights. It's almost never a full on 5v5. This suggests to me that TT meta will be somewhat prevalent on Dominion. That and vroom vroom speedboost champs should be popular too.

Except almost every time he played him he said he is sleeper op, he was trying to not get his favorite hero nerfed.
