yeah official numbers will come out soon. approx 1.5 mill total approx 300,000 on english at one point (not views or steam downloads, actual viewers) Big news so far is OK.nirvana.int (2 americans 1 canadian) winning a group with 2 chinese teams. An American also captains the team, so bad news for slasher. | ||

Luckily most of the games have gone over fine. just terrible stream. It's way way better now, third game without any issue/lag/whatever. Can't wait for tonight's episode  | ||

If the 1.4 mil concurrent viewers number is true, it was probably at the first couple hours of the event. | ||

Have nothing to do with e-sports. People want to see Dota 2 for the first time. | ||

Also its esports because they are supporting esports hugely with this event in getting interested people into the pro scene/watching matches. | ||

The main stream output comes from DotATv (if you refresh the page a few times you can actually see that the videoplayer switches sometimes, sometimes even while you are watching). | ||

Special guests on today's show include ESEA and Team 3D Founder Craig "Torbull" Levine, who was at Valve's offices this past weekend to playtest CS:GO, and has already given some thoughts on the matter. We'll pick his brain more and if this game will be the one to bring 1.6 and Source players together. ESFIWorld's Philip "Nazroth" Hübner, a former DotA pro and currently at GamesCom, will call into the show to give his and pro's thoughts on DotA2, and how the tournament has gone thus far. Show starts in 4 hours. | ||

Its got bigger numbers than SC2, more money flowing through Dota 1 than SC2 still, and its a really deep and interesting game. Above all that, the viewing experience DotaTV is going to allow is going to trump SC2 (being able to physically be in the game being shoutcasted and moving around as your own cameraman is just awesome). DoTA has been out forever and has never been a good spectator esport. Making it prettier won't change that. It's great to play and having huge tournaments is fantastic, but there is no way to make 20 minutes of farming exciting to watch. Long DoTA games are typically not exciting like long SC2 games. | ||

I've never played any MOBA game, even though I've watched some friends of mine play some Dota from time to time. I found it pretty boring to be honest but that's just my opinion | ||

A lot of games can make a splash today, many have in the past, and as time goes on the splashes will only get bigger and bigger. It's surviving and thriving past the "bubble phase" that's extremely difficult and that is a real test of whether the game has real e-sport potential. I'd certainly not call any game a big e-sport, let alone biggest, judging by the initial splash it made. Not even SC2 as a matter of fact. | ||
