Please, please, do us all a favor and don't talk about OGN, STX, or SlayerS Jessica. The last thing I need is more misinformation running rampant on TeamLiquid

Misinformation? I have gathered my information from here on TL based on your translations of Korean reports. Are you saying those Korean reports are false?

So, what are the latest news? Well, we have had some really tiny bits and pieces of information these past days. For once, we have the "confirmation" that Valve will be showing DOTA 2 at GamesCom, as we can see in the official site of the fair Valve is presenting a strategy game. At the same time, we hear a lot about the new Steam delivery system. Moreover, it is now clear that all the rumours some people were spreading about Valve announcing DOTA 2 at the Comic Con in san Diego this year where totally off. As you can see for yourself in the exhibitors list, Valve is not included, another thing that, again, points to the fact that Valve will be announcing DOTA 2 at GamesCom. Last, but certainly not least, there have been a lot of rumours going on about a DOTA 2 actual Tournament taking place at the GC fair. In particular the sources state that: 8 European Team + 6 Asian Teams get Beta Keys for DotA2 + Travel expenses to Germany and will battle from 17th-21st of August in Cologne in a promotion Tournament for a 5-digit dollar prize pool. Truth or rumour, we will learn soon!

People will take your interpretations as facts and use them all over the forums. I mean, this isn't a news show -- you're not just going to talk about the article but use that to make some really weird conclusions without knowing much about the Korean scene at all... it's going to be extremely silly.

There are also still no "translations" regarding the WCG on OGN thing, btw, just my one line tweet and a grossly misinterpreted chinese translation of the TIG original

This IS a news show - the main topics on the show are news which are then interpreted by us with opinions. The Chinese source is still a source that has Lyn/Moon playing WC3 over SC2, it's at least credible. Can't deny the validity in our opinions just because we dont have extreme Brood War legacy - I still do research about the facts. Same goes with Jessica, and the STX trades/free agency.

Please cover the dota 2 gamescom tournament information. 80,000 dollars dota 2 tournament to be held at gamescom. The exact prize pool is still not confirmed but everything else is. Valve is flying in a LOT of chinese dota teams to the event. It's something like 14 teams of 5 players will be invited to gamescom (full expenses paid)

Valve seems to be extremely behind Dota 2 as an esport.. which is pretty big news in itself

And the leaked screenshot of a 6v6 mode in Dota2 testservers, the same amount of players the teams are told to bring to the tournament.

Sometime in August, there will be a game conference (Gamescom) in Germany where there will be a DotA 2 exhibition. Currently, a couple of Chinese teams have received an invitation to participate in a showmatch. Has your team received anything yet?

ZSMJ: Yes we have, but we are settling our visa issues at the moment, and it's becoming quite troublesome.

I guess that means that LGD might not be attending Gamescom.

ZSMJ: It will depend on our visas and how our interview with the German immigration authorities go, so we will see.

I'm fine if you guys do that with anything else, but when it comes to anything Korean? I don't think you guys know much about either scene and how they operate =/

PS: Where in the STX say anything about free agency? :O

Slasher, with all due ESPORTS respect you should probably take Milkis's advice with a lot more credibility. Maybe have him on the show to jump in and educate the nerds about whats up in Korea. There are a ton of different opinions on SC2 in Korea right now but only very few of them are credible are accurate at all. You may have done your research for the show but the people covering BW have been doing their research for years now.

I'll still be tuning in, good luck guys.

Sorry - up for trade. I find your assertions about our (at least my) knowledge on the Korean scene rather uninformative yourself. I have worked for WCG directly and interacted with OGN staffing heavily from last year, as well as contacts to the main journalists from Fomos, PlayXP and ThisIsGame, whom I talk to semi-regularly for updates and opinions. Additionally, my research is thorough no matter the continent it is happening on.
