Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance. Fair warning to all. | ||

It's harder to gauge for the duo lanes since it's also more complex, but the amount of solo outplays we saw in mid/top by Asians were pretty convincing. Mainly top, God damn do NA tops blow hard. Mid was mostly even from the games I saw. Trading kills and CS relatively close. | ||

Chauster saying "we prepared tactics for one side of the map" Who fucking does that? i mean seriously. ITs a coin flip if you get blue or purple in group stage. Who comes to an event preparing tactics from only one side. Mind BLOWN | ||

Don't be so harsh, it's not like all of the NA viewers stopped watching DotA after the first Day of the main event at TI2. They're not going to stop watching LoL tommorow either now that all the NA teams are gone NA can also always USA USA behind M5/Na'Vi/Stephano | ||

Well teams like EG can just keep importing Europeans and all americans can keep chanting USA USA USA when stephano wins something. Thats why they will still watch. | ||

I'm not shure if most people are still going to watch MLG in a year or two when every tournament is 90% koreans. | ||

It isn't a problem when your tournament structure is region vs. region vs. region vs. region, which is where tournaments are moving towards. The way Dota and LoL run their tournaments you won't ever have a tournament with 90% Koreans. | ||

There were some pretty good American players, not only those two who were the last along with Assem. The difference wasn't as pronounced earlier in the scene but yes later it was just complete domination as Korea became increasingly structured and professionalized and everyone else didn't | ||

Doesn't matter who is playing ^_^ Team loyalty is merely something interesting to do on the side imo The hardcore crowd, shure, but like in sports most people watch more because of the teams/players and less because of the actual game. | ||

Was it to build hype for the finals for a week? What happens if finals is Frost vs TPA? Will people still get hyped for it or will nobody end up showing up for the finals? | ||

No its actually true. NA's BW is not that bad. Since everybody can't beat Koreans, thats where the word foreigners come from. NA's BW can hold its own against EU/Non-Korean. But people back then are much more solid than nowadays. Today you can do nothing, just stream you eating and still there are 20k watching you. | ||

MLG is in a pretty bad spot because they can't just stop inviting koreans. | ||

I think this it is really important not to let it be 90% koreans as it kills the eu/na scenes. | ||

I would hope that people would still appreciate high level play regardless of who it is but the majority of people are more casual fans who don't care as much when their team goes out. This is less pronounced in Esports then in Sports though I think. | ||

You mean the difference between BW and LoL is that NA BW is so poor that people don't even IMAGINE NA to win against Koreans.... whereas for LoL people have the FALSE ILLUSION that an NA team can win. | ||

NA BW was not that bad because everybody in europe played wc3 from 2002 onwards. If you look at SC2 nowadays most of the best foreigners are ex-wc3 players. | ||

I would hope CLG.eu will be able to beat WE, considering weak NA curse team, not even at this tournament did so. EU trying to get on a high horse for this game too? Appears so, I guess I'll try and make time to watch that series tomorrow. Then this circle of spit can continue about how the EU teams are going to continue to disappoint. | ||
