What's with the modesty of these players ? ^_^

Literally two of my favorite foreigners in the final. Awesome. (Though I blame KA nerf on Mana's TvP. )

Cool pre-game interviews. Dimaga seems far more confident, and MaNa seems happy to just have gotten this far

Empirically league of legends has had a higher magnitude of livestream viewers than sc2 recently, at many events. So, I wouldn't be too sure about that theorycrafting. If a game is popular to play, and has a good competitive scene, people will watch.

Well, it's a free and relatively casual game, with in-game stream support (hint HINT, blizzard?). It's got a way higher playerbase than SC2 as well, again, because it is free to play. If SC2's multiplayer were suddenly F2P, we'd see SC2 player number surge!


No, we won't. SC 2 started off with a player base of 1 million+ players in the NA. It's a tiny fraction of that - around 10,000-20,000 by my last log in to the NA server - who play online ladder matches. Competitive RTS games aren't that attractive to casual players, and it's the casual players who make up the bulk of MOBA viewers.


MOBA


Please stop using this term.

It's fucking retarded.

-The Society of People Who Undestand What MOBA Stands For

Can you explain what it is then? First result on "MOBA" into google is a site about LoL strategy. Aren't LoL, DOTA, HoN etc. MOBAs?

I'm not trolling. Genuine question.

MOBA is a term coined by LoL developers iirc, imo the problem with the term is it doesn't describe AT ALL what happens in a DotA/LoL/HoN type of game, so I hate it.

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena?? WTF is that?!

There needs to be a term to describe that kind of games though. Give me a better one and I'm never gonna use moba again

Defense of the Ancients. Where each team defends their respective Ancients (bases). Quite simple really.

Yeah, I'd be happy even with "Dota-Like" games, it's a lot more precise. I actually find the term ARTS (Action RTS) a lot better than MOBA as well, since at least it's an RTS


Action RTS is a generic name that doesn't describe what happens, and the term RTS places it into the same genre as SC 2 and BW which is not how people think of Dota, LoL, etc. Yeah, there's strategy, but there's strategy in a lot of games - Counter-Strike has strategy and is RT, but it's not a RTS.

The acronym MOBA isn't great, but it's the term that industry uses these days to describe these sorts of games. Riot is the MOBA company with the best success and that's why they're able to make these acronyms stick.

Dota games are a hybrid between RPGs, RTSs, and team combat games. Of these, I think RPG and team combat are at the heart of it.

ARTS is imo, WAY more accurate than MOBA. MOBA describes every single game with a non-cooperative multiplayer mode. Terrible, terrible term.

Plus it sounds cooler. MOBA is really lame
