I pity all the casters, hosts, crew etc. who will be contractually obligated to work during these WCS regionals, and thus will be forced to miss TI3 live. They must be pretty sad. I think some SC2 progamers will be sad about that too, having to play during TI3. If you happen to be present at WCS regionals with a camera, please try to make photos of screens with TI3 on alt-tab of players and casters there during breaks. It could be hilarious. Like, SC2 player in semi-final 1-1, alt-tabs to watch TI3. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

It's a comparison between a partial event of a partial event (regionals -> season 2 finals -> yearly world finals) with total prize money $1.6 mil. across the whole year; and the actual world grand finals of the year with $2.6+ mil. (and counting) being given right there in these five days. On July 27 2013 03:18 Luiwtf wrote: OSL only. on twitch.tv/wcs_gsl /kappa (: | ||

SC2 beta looked really cool, there was a lot of new units with lots of different spells, then by the time it got released they got rid of half of them. To me it became somewhat boring with no real opportunity for variation. Every game was almost exactly the same, TvP build this, ZvT build that...One of my biggest wishes during the end of brood war was that SC2 would introduce more units or maybe even a 4th race, but they didn't. It's the same game with the same amount of units/spells(maybe even less then BW) and really lacks in ingenuity. Now I understand that with each expansion new units will be introduced but only maybe 1-2 per race. I understand the balance nightmare new units cause but come on it took so many years for BW to become what it was. I think it's more fun to watch pros trying new things to figure out the best combinations and counters rather than have a stale meta game. IMHO they need to DOUBLE the amount of units/spells! Then maybe the game would become interesting again, but the way it is right now SC is dead to me, and I'm not happy about it DOTA2 (I didn't play DOTA1) Brings a lot of fresh ideas and game play. Over 80+ heroes(and counting) and 100+ items. I have played almost 2000 hours and still haven't mastered all the heroes. It gets me excited to play video games again, something that was seriously lacking with SC2. TI3 Exclusively. 5 Days away, GET FUCKING HYPED! P.S. - DOTA2 is Free 2 Play (not Pay 2 Win) all you LoL and SC elitists need to get of your high horses and give it a try. You might just love it like I do. | ||

At the same time (and a bit earlier, from TI2), I tried watching Dota2 and was pleasantly surprised with how the game was now watchable as opposed to Dota1 which was fun to play but almost pointless to watch. Something has changed either in my head or in the way Valve designed the spectating features that it's now a lot of fun to watch it too. It sparked my interest to the point that I started contributing to Dota 2 Liquipedia and I'm even considering trying to organize a tournament of my own even though that's going to be extremely difficult considering I'm just a fan, a regular guy with no connections with the industry. Anyway, lets hope for a great TI3! | ||

There was a big uproar about the date conflict, but there really isn't that big of an overlap, both in viewer base and actually time where the events overlap. That's not to say it's ideal, but I think it has been blown out of proportion. | ||

Not respecting the skill and team coordination required for competitive Dota is just being ignorant and I would've expected more from SC2 fans. I've supported SC2 since the beta but now it's just become stale to watch. I can't see myself ever getting bored of Dota because of the meta shifts, how teams can have vastly different play styles from one another, and the fact there's so many different heroes to choose from. TI3 has been amazing so far and it's not going to be any different for the playoffs. It isn't that people are misinformed about Dota 2 or even ignorant. People that have gone through BW to Sc2 have dabbled in ARTS (AoS in BW or original Dota in Wc3) the fact is that they can't respect the game from a mechanical standpoint. Many BW supporters can't respect Sc2 because of this reason, it is natural to have Sc2 supporters hate on ARTS for the same reason. Especially when Dota 2 fans post about how they got "bored" with Sc2 or how Sc2 isn't exciting because Koreans are dominating. -Like they wouldn't be dominating Dota 2 just like they are dominating LoL. | ||

Well you have to understand that most of the people following Dota 2 on TL came here first for BW or SC2. If they are watching Dota 2 now instead, it almost has to be because they are sick of SC2. I'm not surprised that WCS is at the top, this is a Starcraft site first and foremost after all. But since TI2 last year, I have had almost no interest in playing or watching SC2. I watched and played hundreds of hours of that game, but Dota just holds my interest better nowadays. Regardless, it was silly of Blizzard to schedule WCS for this weekend. There is enough overlap between the fan bases that nobody wins as a result of them being on the same weekend...both games will lose viewers to the other. | ||

Lol, the anti-Dota2 sentiment is probably from Sc2 fans that are sick of Dota2 fans saying that they are sick of Sc2. I'm sick of Dota2. Played it, watched it, got sick of it. The only difference is I don't feel the need to mention that on everything that mentions both Sc2 and Dota2. | ||
