How incredible that sOs and herO managed to finish the finals faster than FireCake can finish a game.

Quite a few more, if we include SPOTV numbers, but we won't know those...

100 000 nowadays for big tournament final just isn't very much. Few months and ESL will drop sc2 also
and all we have left is blizzcon.
I don't know about your statement. I mean MLG failed at dropping Sc2 while dropping dota for Anehiem

It was probably somewhere between 1 and 100,000

sOs deserves the win but it was a terrible series to watch.
Also I hope ESL realizes winner takes all sucks now. All it does is make people feel extra bad for the loser.

They were forced into dropping Dota, because of a tight pro teams' schedule.

Implying that people wouldn't bitch about long PvP matches. That's the great thing about bitching, it adapts to circumstances.

I would complain about Blizzard's inability to properly Balance a game , But then i remember exactly why I stopped watching SC2 since I got my hands on a dota 2 key.

I don't think you know what you're talking about tbh. Dt rush is auto loss if its scouted I suppose, but so is bunker rush really.

There have been a few, especially in Proleague. I think one of them involved Zest.
