This is stupid. They had technical problems with LoL so SC2 was delayed. That's no reason to talk shit about other games.


Yeah but still LOL is utterly crap to watch...

But LoL, HoN, and now DotA2 looks like the exact same game with just a bit of different graphics.

Ok so Im watching the Dota2 finals. Im very confused about whats going on but thats just normal since Ive never played it. But am I right when I say that the winner of this final gets $1,000,000? Thats just insaaane.


yeah... but they have to share it with like 4 guys! ;-)


That's still 200k a piece. More than any SC2 tournament has offered for first, and the game is still pre-release! I'm not convinced on the game yet though... it just has the dota name to attract sponsors.


Valve put all that money. It's just a marketing thing just to hype the game


It's not the Dota name. It's the Dota GAME. That's what matters.

LoL and Dota 2 are as much the same game as sc:bw and wc3.

Guys seriously -_-, I like ben and he likes me :D, we get along really well, matter of fact im really fucking happy hes my colleague, I didnt know him at all before ESL decided to hire him, I was a bit disappointed at first cause I hoped they would have hired my long time friend Dapollo, who I get along with really well but im superhappy it turned out like this, apollo had other plans anyway and Ben is a fucking amazing guy who I enjoy _EVERY_ show with, just because we dont nodd at every word the other guys say dont mean we dont go along, why cant you just see that we are ourselfs on stream, and if we feel the other guy is incorrect we say so, we like to mock each other, if you know me you know thats part of my personality, :D it would be really nice if you guys stop that once and for all :p and be happy we are both not afraid to give our opinions regarding games, this is why I like ben so much as well as partner to commentate with, if I say nonsense he corrects me which is only good & helps me in the long run, hes an awesome guy, we practise together, we work together, we laugh together, we drink together , we're about as close as I would go with any guy, if you guys want some private sextape where we are sexually pleasing eachother to make you believe we ain't enemies I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint you since thats pretty much the only stuff we don't do :D , enjoy the finals guys, hope its going to be amazing and thanks to everyone for feedback troughout the entire tournament, we take everything into considiration to give you guys even more fun watching us. Cheers!


I think you guys are doing the very best you can with the hand you were dealt. MrBitter is still new at casting live offline events. Over time he will improve greatly. Rotterdam is extremely experienced at casting live offline events and has been able to adapt to a variety of commentators over the years. I am so happy that IEM chose Rotterdam to commentate this event. Keep up the good work guys I hope IEM will give you two another go at future IEM events! Shout out to Kelly Milkies as well. Her english has improved greatly since GSL and her knowledge of Starcraft 2 is ridiculously good. Thank you IEM for bringing her on. She always asks great questions, interacts with the online community at the event, and tries to get to know the people she is interviewing before going on-air. I hope Kelly returns for future IEM events. Keep up the good work all of you!

I played LoL for a year and have no fucking clue what is going on in that dota2 game. It is just confusing. I tried HoN but ran into the same problem. WAY too many particle effects from skills.



i played dota allstars for abt 3 yrs, but dota 2 is confusing

guess AOS games are fun to play, but bad to watch


I think the problem is that there is no color to identify the different heroes. It was easier to follow in dota when you could actually see where the yellow hero is going in a fight.

idk what they said but 5:30 CEST has been on http://www.teamliquid.net/iem/ for over a day now so I don't think that's true. at least unless this final lol game takes a loong time.

Just say you don't like it. Some people probably say the same about sc2.

well thats exactly the case^^ basically HoN and Lol have been battleling it out and now dota emerged as, well. All three games are still based on the one and only Dota Mod for wc3.

and for everyone who's asking when the finals start, it start after lol is finished... which might be in 30-40 minutes

I love Valve and all, but id very much rather have Counterstrike 2, Half life 3, Team fortress 3, or Left 4 Dead 3 instead of Dota 2....

MLG has dedicated streams for each game, why can't ESL? I don't give a damn about this other game, just want to see Starcraft 2. ESL has the worst scheduling, this tournament didn't need to be 5 days.
I am from Canada, eh!

is anyone actually reading the big white box at the top? no LoL vs the world arguments, just watch a film or do something until sc2 starts and stop the whining. go outside and do a few jumping jacks or something, honestly...

The IEM overlay said 16:30 CEST. It was scheduled right after the raffle. It is now 17:00 CEST. Rotterdam and Mr.bitter, the casters of the event, said LoL hiccups delayed sc2. I win. You lose. :/

Yeah cos ure not used to it.
Or are u trying to say the first time u played lol u knew exactly what was going on at all times ?
It's pretty well known fact that dota/hon/lol are not good to watch if you don't play it yourself as you have no idea what's going on cos there are so many heroes, spells etc.

I have no trouble recognizing everything happening in the dota 2 tournament, as ive played dota but i have no idea whats happening in lol cos i havent played it (well ive tried a few games but thats it), simple.
