Are you implying there's no difference in player skill throughout the game?

At the same time you're saying that a free to play business model automatically makes a game bad? Cmon man, if a company can make something work without the initial 60 dollar price tag attached it's great for the consumer who then gets to decide whether to spend money directly into the game.


On topic. TL has a great community so I appreciate the coverage of other tournaments and games. It allows players to stay within a group of people and have decent forum discussions. Most forums do not uphold posting standards and most communities are not this awesome.

It is not all about starcraft mate. This is a global organisation that is open minded to any game. It brings all gamers together, we are not just isolated to SC1-2


and @ blae000, wtf? really? that sort of stuff just makes me sick with how people could be so ignorant of other games. If you dont like it, please do not post

No, he's saying it automatically makes a game popular. That's why Farmville is the most popular game of the last decade.

You're the one who's being ignorant here. It's perfectly fine to not like a game and post about that.

now that TL is covering dota 2, i wanted to ask the opposite question? why aren't more dota 2 streams featured? it seems the only time i see featured streams is when it's a sc2 pro playing dota.

i guess i understand if it's hard to set a bar for being featured at this point, but i'd love to see more dota 2 streams.

it'd also be pretty awesome if the live stream list was separated by:
SC2
DOTA2
Other

vs:
Player
Other

...or something similar.

Sc2 pro playing dota2? Uhh you mean CatZ? Because that's the only sc player I see. Last time I checked, dendi, singsing, and iceiceice are all full time dota players.

You can go to the right sidebar settings and separate streams by game already.

The only featured Dota 2 streams are of pro Dota 2 players and most of the time only if those players make accounts on TL. There's no point to add them to the sidebar if they won't bother with the TL community.
