All these 16 teams are the Top Dota teams. They have earned their way.

and dota 2 is supposed to be exactly the same as Dota.

Think of it this way.

It's like Blizzard released a prettier version of Broodwar and have an invitational. Then they invited Jaedong Bisu Flash Stork. This is what it is with the Dota 2 tournament.

Ya that was amazing. I have to agree though. Why give away so much money for a preview. I think saying "hey look... this tournament at the end of the year will pay out 1.7 million dollars, so play it and get good!" would be a great way to attract players.

Question for the podcast : Thoughts on CombatEX vs RatzDeezer showmatch and the interview? I'm not sure why you guys haven't talked about when it was a 10k+ viewers matchup with a 3 hours interview. It was fucking amazing I'm not gonna lie, I haven't laugh that much for a while. Good show great to see incontrol back.

Disagree with Geoff on this sacrificing for the fans thing. I can't accept that at all. These are potentially highly stressed individuals who are scrutinized by their performance and need some space. I don't even like the idea that there's a player/media/VIP area. Is there a dedicated player area? Player welfare i feel isn't what it should be, and it's weird for Geoff to want to have it the other way.

Then again these are the same fans who boo'd the Halo guys, so i don't have a lot of respect for SC2 fans right now.


There is a VIP area for pro players AND a player area for games.. both are away from fans.

In order for SC2/esports to continue to grow we need to do less "alienating" of fans and pros and encourage more interaction so more people can get involved.

Surely performance is more important to #ESPORTS than the interaction we're talking about here.

I want my Tyler kicking ass, and being in the best position to be able to do so, not being put under duress.

Lol Artosis, really? This guy is so obsessed with hyping people seriously. How can an old school BW player call Nestea the Bonjwa if he wins another GSL? It'd be his second in a row but it's not like he went through scfou, MC, MVP, Bomber, etc. on the way to the last finals and Top knocked him out one month ago.


Got to agree here, I'm a little confused by the whole thing. You know what would make someone a bonjwa at this time? Someone who would win something ridiculous like 4 gsls in a row WHILE knocking out Nestea each time (who is head and shoulders above the rest of the competition a lot of the times). I mean that's pretty much what it took for flash to be crowned the last bonjwa (That and also doing something no one including nada has done before which is to win dual starleagues at the same time). It's an accomplishment to even take a game off flash. And it's felt like that for about a YEAR now. Nestea has "only" won two gsls back to back in the span of what, 3 months? Of course, his last win is his most convincing argument that he's headed towards that direction...100% win rate and a 4-0 domination (not only in games, but in strategy, mentality, skill, EVERYTHING i.e. flash like) over the second best zerg in the world (Still...his zvz's not that great)....If Nestea keeps this up for the next year then yes... he will be the first sc2 b.

Also, Nestea needs to prove himself against mma, MVP, and other monster terrans. Another ingredient of bonjwahood is doing something extraordinary in the current times i.e. Overcoming unbelievablely imbalanced maps against a race that doesn't seem like it should lose ala Savior (Not that terrans or maps are imba atm)


Your idea of what constitutes a bonjwa is is ridiculously overblown.


No, it's not . People were hesitant to even give Jaedong bonjwa status EVER and look at how dominant he was for so long. It's really not a good term to use for someone who is dominating unless they are the michael jordan or the babe ruth of starcraft.


According to that post, a bonjwa must do something "extraordinary" like overcome imbalance. How have all five bonjwas overcome imbalance or done something equally extraordinary?

wait so fruitdealer was a bonjwa?

Actually it makes a lot of sense. Valve has been experimenting for a while with that model, and no way in hell ,even with Vavlve Dollars, that DotA 2 will be able to become a dominant MOBA game.

what are u talking about both valve and the name DOTA resonates a hard times more then any, any moba game released thus far. If I were a betting man, in terms of success DOTA 2 would be a shoe in

Anyone else think the red mouse in the SOTG logo looks like a tongue, kind of like the rolling stones logo? Anyone?

And if anything, regarding DotA 2, this is a good thing since it may worry Blizzard into action to support more SC2 tourneys.

Valve and Blizzard have always had a friendly rivalry so Blizzard will probably do..something.

One of the top Chinese DotA teams was just acquired for 2 million dollars, its fucking HUGE there and while valve's plans are marketing for sure but Valve is easily going to back dota up much better than blizzard backs sc2 up.

Also do you guys have any comments on the MLG prize pool

p.s. mvc3 is a sick game dont hate!

Don't forget that Valve was at last year's BlizzCon, so they know that Blizzard is making their own DotA.
