If I bought WoL outside China, will I still be able to get the standard version for free? And about fricking time.

china doesnt have dota 2 yet either, it takes a long time to settle with a publisher there and remove everything they want to be removed and set it up for their servers,etc.

china will prob never have dota 2 for years to come because of league of legend

Dota 2 is coming to China at the end of this year. Perfect World already obtained the distribution right within China from Valve.
But yeah, LOL is huge in China, really doubt that Dota2 can compete with it at this point.

Also, its not exactly free Hots. You have to pay a monthly fee in order to play(I think it was about 20RMB a month). If you pay 90RMB which is about 15USD you will get both WoL and Hots lifetime subs. For people that already paid 90RMB to buy lifetime subs for WoL, they will get free lifetime Hots subs.

While the game is cheaper compared to the rest of the world, SC2 will still have a hard time going up against the release of Dota 2 (which would be free).

I live in China at the moment... Will I be able to play on the Chinese server, or would I have to buy a Chinese version of the game first?

i wasn't even talking about its size. League is owned by Chinese company, while dota is not. You will be sure that they will pull every little string and tapes they can to delay dota from releasing as late as possible.

Would not even be surprised if something happens and dota 2 is delayed even further

If you wanna play with lag, you can use your own account and choose the TW/KR region...

if you wanna play without lag, buy a game-card or your "chnese" paypal" to buy the game digitally... keep in mind you have to fill everything in like name, address, idnumber etc etc etc... I just "stole" one to play on the chinese server :D
If you dont like war, go play tetris...
