Do you guys really need 20 hours of SCII? Or could you spend 16 and give 4 to DoTA2? That's all I ask, I am sure you could skip like TheSTC vs. Alive and bear it.
I really encourage you to try DoTA2 out during a Na'Vi game or Orange, you may be pleasantly surprised how much you like it, to me its really refreshing with all of the faceoffs, the laning, tests of wit brought upon by setting up ganks, the gold race, unpredictable team fights with elegant plays that happen in a split second. Its more fan friendly because cheering usually won't screw up someones strategy, in SCII cheering loudly can be seen as bad for the game. Overall I expect The International 3 to be more viewer friendly, with as good or better casting, less downtime and Seattle is the best location and should have great fans.
I am not being paid by Valve lol... this infomercial just comes from my heart.

I wish I understood or had any clue about Dota2, seems to be a lot of people enjoying it. But since I am absolutely clueless I will be watching purely the WCS Finals.
|
Being a Starcraft player, i'll obviously watch exclusively WCS finals.
|
Will watch the Jaedong games,then check out T3 and then go to bed at a reasonable hour....

All TI3. I'll read later which korean player won every WCS and how the finals was all koreans. Like it has been and like it will always be, yawn. I don't understand why you should even care about it as long as the games are enjoyable.
Basically there is no real competition. SC2 has become like a big GSL. I loved the GSL as much as the next guy but when you have koreans in WCS NORTH AMERICA it kinda defeats the damn purpose. I wished WCS was a window to see better players from around the world but instead it just became a bigger GSL. At least in Dota non-asian teams are as good and sometimes better than their counterparts and we get to see some surprising teams come in the scene much like Teamliquid did. In SC2 even the "foreign" teams are now hiring koreans (why not ? is all about the money) so instead of making Incontrol a contender just hire Jaedong, double yawn. To me SC2 is like watching basketball at the olympics, sure the US team is awesome and does some sick plays but you are certain they will win all their games, the rest of the world is not even close.

Keep in mind, you can watch The International from the Dota 2 client, in-game, completely free. Unlike SC2, it allows you to get inside games at any time, to listen to the casters (inside the client, yes), and has menus to all kinds of stats and charts as the game is still in progress. That in itself is experience worth having, brings esports on a new level of entertainment.

Only TI3.
As for WCS,
I'll just catch highlights.
|
WCS Finals exclusively, done with Moba for a long time
|
Not a follower of DotA. I'm just gonna watch WCS
|
Where is the option for neither? If I'm lucky I'll catch a little on my phone, mostly just gonna have to get updates though.

I'll be watching wcs korea and some of wcs eu. wcs america is just at a shitty time for me so I won't watch much of it.
No TI3 for me.
|
I used to play a lot of Dota when I was younger. I've been trying out Dota 2 and watching some stuff, but I'm really not getting into it. Mehhh, stickin to Starcraft I think
|
Well exclusively since I will be trying to get a wristband for WCS NA Finals, so I guess I will see it in person. Shame since I really want to watch TI3 but going to Redbull HQ doesn't come around too often. It sucks and I kinda hope that Redbull puts on the International on a screen somewhere to those of us who chose to go down to Santa Monica instead of going to a barcraft for TI3.

The poll speaks for itself. Dunno why SC2 fans are all riled up about the clash with TI3 when a majority of their fans are staying true and watching WCS. Having them watch all 3 qualifiers on the other hand... Not a bright idea.

Same here. TI3 HYPE.

Never played nor watched (except some Youtube videos) the games being streamed on The International (although the only thing I really know is that SC2 is not one of them).
Never really heard of The International before.
I can watch WCS live in Cologne.
So, that's it then : )

SC2 is much more entertaining to watch imo, dota is more fun to play

The International is dota 2 alone, no other games.
