Most likely he did.

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.

what about dota 1? isn't that a direct competitor as well?

I am sure he gave it a shot, as deed as it was in WC3. With his micro skills, Grubby would be pretty dope at Dota 2 as well. I think he would have a blast with a character like Puck or Storm Spirit. I don't think he would be a professional level player, but it would be fun to watch.

Dota 1 is just a thing that exists and they can't really ignore it. They are hoping their Heroes of Kingdom(needs a "the" in there) will be the next big thing. But Dota 1 is still a big draw.

Warcraft 3 is still one of the most popular esports in China. Sometimes it gets more attention than lol, dota2, and sc2.

I love how it has a picture of grubby...does he have anything to do with this? I don't think so. This sounds cool. I probably will never watch it because well the time difference just doesn't work for me lol. But it seems like there idea is actually how esports should go in the west.

If all of this actually is 100% legit and done correctly the Chinese scene would grow incredibly well.
Their plan is awesome and just whats needed.
Blizzard should take notes!

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

How do you mean it?


Europe and China are the scene growing and doing the best. ( well, China is recent )
+ old wc3 pros seems to like it more / be better at the game than old Broodwar pros.

I just see a lot of the old wc3 developments in what is happening to sc2 these days.

Awesome news, more growth in any region, but especially China, is big, big news, hopefully their first year goes well and they get more incentives and more sponsors to continue with this venture and grow the scene even more.

dota1 is a dying game, it's not gonna gain anymore fanbase. On the other hand, dota1's fanbase is what Netease wants for its moba game Heroes of Kingdom.

I have no idea how this could give them good ROI, but I really hope they can get it. 5 million is practically unheard of.
