Personally, dota 2 is just not very spectator-friendly to be a true esports like sc2. You can't see much amidst all those flashy spells going off in the teamfights. Moba is just a bad genre name Riot came up with and is trying to market, don't see why rest of the community should be forced to adopt it. Football won't be called soccer outside america anytime soon either. I didn't enjoy watching DotA to start with either but after putting hours into playing the game it became quite enjoyable to spectate as well. Definitely not friendly to watch from the get go though, but in current world how many people watch games they have never played anyway. | ||

So it's good to know that sC and others are leaving early rather than later to find a better career. | ||

Sakkä =/= soccer lol. it's the same etymology not the same word. No shit? People in Spain call it fútbol, but wouldn't you say that they call it football with reference to football/soccer word usage? The point is some guy called someone "thickheaded" for saying something that was true in all but the most hyper-technical sense. | ||
