It's not NetEase that runs Dota 2 in China, it's nexxon I think. So it would be weird for them sponsor a competitiors moba while also trying to launch their own moba

Nexon runs Dota2 in Korea, PerfectWorld runs Dota2 in China

Because Dota2 will be a direct competition with Heroes of Kingdom, which is a MOBA game that Netease is developing (basically the same as LoL, except with Chinese historical figures). Of course Netease is not stupid enough to put a prize pool for their competitors. It's also why LoL is not in the list, despite being the biggest game in China right now.

I'm so happy to see that wc3 is still relevant in china and Grubby still the biggest celebrity . I hope this whole thing will be great for china.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I must be in the minority but I actually find dota1 using the war3 engine much better than the current one.

I'm curious about this... is there a Dota 1 'elitist' bunch? just like what happened with BW when SC2 came out.

I first read NetEase as Nestea and thought it was about him throwing in an investment into eSports.

Not really, because it's exactly the same game. It just has updated graphics, makeover and what not.

this is so awesome... seems almost to good to be true, how long is this going to last? how does netease expect a source of income from this? Its a LOT of money to spend without expecting it to pay off.

China is a huge market. If they can draw more players to SC2 (and other games), they will make something out of it.

3, Self-registered tournament system. Everyone can start a tournament. You only need to have detailed plan, players, and organizers. And then NetEase will give you money to do it. Of course, your plan needs to be approved. The annual amount for this is $1,600,000 dollars. For example, if you have a Ro32 amateur league, NetEase will give you $245 dollars.


This is only for Chinese tournaments I presume?

The more time goes by, the more sc2 is actually becoming the successor of warcraft 3 instead of broodwar's.

Wow. The chinese are coming for us. NetEase investing the same amount of prize money into the local scene as the prize money of WCS. :D

This is probably also a request from Blizzard since they are partnered with NetEase and want them to give sc2 a serious try there on the domestic market.

That couldn't possibly happen, since Dota2 is good compared to sc2.
