Who the hell is Dendi? The Flash of dota. Who cares then? It's funny how a game is only popular because it's free to play and yet it's on and off MLG constantly because its a bore to watch and takes about as much skill as transferring drones. The filthy game ruined my beautiful War 3, they can grind all the DOTA / HoN / LoL people into soylent dog chow for all I care. I'm sure it will die down in a couple years. It's boring to watch and putting together a team of 5 with a community that egotistical is almost impossible. As a WC3 player, it isn't dying soon. Die down on the competitive scene I mean. No one will want to sponsor something no one watches. Talk with ya soon after The International 2, when they release numbers of stream watchers... in millions. sc2 = tennis dota 2 = american football
So SC2 = game watched by people around the world.
DotA 2 = game watched only by American

People stop defending the crowd being tired or not being tired. The fact is the last game had no buildup or excitement, it was a shitty game to watch and a shitty game to win by. Do you think a 50 minute back and forth would've ended with cheers like that? That's why the crowd was so lacklustre.

TL wants a piece of the pie. You see that Dota 2 section on the TL forums bar on the left? How about the featured Dota 2 streams on the right?
It doesn't belong in a LR thread. But I didn't bring it up, I just answered.

I understand we're all nerds here but if you think a MLG is exhausting enough that cheering is impossible you really have not experienced enough in your life.
sounds like edc or something ... ive done that once and its also tiring haha

Fair call, my message was to anyone in this thread discussing DOTA.
Don't, we couldn't care less. Go away.

If we take SC2 as a baseline, DotA is big in China and LoL is approaching it and projected to surpass it. Basketball is gigantic in China and football (not handegg) is huge in China.

Yeah, that's why I think the first comparison is very weird. There's no doubt that DotA is gonna be really really big though. It might be the game most played in SEA and China.

The Flash of dota. Who cares then? It's funny how a game is only popular because it's free to play and yet it's on and off MLG constantly because its a bore to watch and takes about as much skill as transferring drones. The filthy game ruined my beautiful War 3, they can grind all the DOTA / HoN / LoL people into soylent dog chow for all I care. I'm sure it will die down in a couple years. It's boring to watch and putting together a team of 5 with a community that egotistical is almost impossible. As a WC3 player, it isn't dying soon. Die down on the competitive scene I mean. No one will want to sponsor something no one watches. Talk with ya soon after The International 2, when they release numbers of stream watchers... in millions. sc2 = tennis dota 2 = american football So SC2 = game watched by people around the world. DotA 2 = game watched only by American
No, last The International pulled I think something like 400-600 thousand Chinese viewers.

Cheer for him you losers. Man that crowd sucks. It's 1 am there and they've been there all day, cut them some slack. Its 4AM here and I made more noise in front of my computer. Even Tasteless is begging them to do something. They're horrible. Spend 20 bucks to go to an event and you're screwing yourselves when you're not making it as epic as it could be. Imagine a great crowd, that moment could be something we remember ala Thorzain and Dreamhack, and you could say you were there and a part of it. Now, what? Crappy crowd and a moment that is forgotten. Pretty nice to whine from comfort of your home while those people probably watched 10 hours of SC2 before that final game. Is it so exhausting and mind numbing to watch SC2 from a chair? Am I being unreasonable for them to actually try and make that moment something special? Have you ever been to a day long concert? It's not like people can't cheer after 8 hours of being awake. They're just lame. :/ Ummm 14 hours of being at an event is exhausting dude. They were all going around playing HotS, getting autographs, and tons of other stuff after a late night from day 1. Stop whining that the crowd wasn't going insane after a terrible game (Flash outclassed Bisu pretty badly). Okay, I'm not out just yet. Why do the games need to be amazing? People were aware these guys aren't the best in the game yet. It was the event, the spectacle, the (supposed) atmosphere that was the entire hype. How good the games were should not have effected the crowd.
The BW pros received much and great attention. The Kespa tournament opening was loud, happy times. (LoL fans on reddit even chimed in on how loud sc2 was.) They had a ridiculously long line of people wanting to get their autographs. Watch the Smix interview, they felt appreciated and are appreciated.
