You realy realy should learn how to troll right, you can't even touch anyone who plays Dota with this kind of arguments and even if you are sincere, it is sad, that people think the way you do. Not even pathetic, just said. The complexity of Dota lies not only in the mechanical skills but also in the teamchemistry, the leadership and the social competence of a player. A Player can contribute on so many levels, but it seems you don't want to see this way of playing. | ||

Having an opinion that disagrees with your own isn't trolling. And I don't care about if I'm in the majority or not. A lot of people like to listen to pop music but I still think it is crap. | ||

I am a diehard Dota 2 and SC2 fan and I stayed up to watch ever WCS Season 1 Finals including the combined season finals. But this is really bullshit. Why would they try to challenge the International? For me this is a nobrainer, I will definitely watch TI3 over all WCS finals not only because of the game I like more, but even more because of Blizzard's stupid decision. But this is more than just that, even people who only love SC are fucked because they are forced to choose between events and this will hurt all of the stream's viewer numbers. Blizzard is shooting themselves in the foot with this! | ||

They deal with the 100k+ or so people cramming into that one league tournament every weekend, so WCS shouldn't be too much to handle. Have you been on twitch with the terrible LCS finals with 100k+ for like a week? Do you even know what else is happening in esports the same weekend as WCS? GL twitch dealing with the mass amount of viewers watching TI3 and WCS at the same time. I'll be chilling in Benaroya Hall with other Dota fans hoping that twitch is watchable for those unable to watch it live.

Those people doing the setups were pretty fast at setting stuff up and the players were always on time for matches. | ||

This shows that you have no idea what are you talking about. Even comparing dota 2(teamgame) to starcraft(solo game) is stupid. Well played! | ||

Also, RedBull in on it for the America finals is HUGE. (thanks Rob and Sean!) But also this schedule is better than have the Grand Slam Finals collide with anything. Consumers must start to realize that we got now like 4,5+ esports titles with decent viewer numbers over/near 100k (LoL, DotA2, SC2, CSGO, CoD) and some smaller ones on top who run at up to lets say 20k (like Quake, EVE, BoI, WoT, WoW, MtG, HoN etc). That not every premiere circuit like MLG, IEM can and will have all their titles. With all this we the consumer have to start to say adieu to watching everything live simply because these things WILL collide. A startup websites which provides links and search to VODs of these events can be a huge hit in the next 12-24 months Also, easy access to those VODs will help the organizers to further monetize them. Imagine.. you do your own TV/video program when you get home from this. Anyway. .with usually downtimes on TI and dual monitors and energy drinks and a day off.. this one is no problem and welcome for me. | ||

Im not exactly sure if Ting is the person in charge of WCS and other Blizzard tournaments, or whether he is more of a community manager for e-sports, in charge of making extra content like WCS Today. Either way, though I don't watch a ton of Dota2, this will for sure impact the viewer rating and count because of the fact that TI3 is the better event to watch, with excellent production, audience, and overall time spent. Blizzard on the other hand.... Not to say that the WCS production or quality is bad (it can be at times), but this is a terrible scheduling issue. This contradicts the path that e-sports is taking in trying to build communities around multiple games, not split the viewership in some act of desperation or defense against a big event like TI3. I'll still watch the WCS, and probably pop in to TI3 at times, but even though this doesn't affect me as a sole SC fan, it does impact many other viewers. It's really a shame. | ||
