Last time I checked I had no anger problem. In fact I'm pretty calm at the moment. It's a friendly way of telling them to write some decent input. But, well, seeing how you write in memes... amirite?

i still hate all kind of mobas, but always funny to watch nerd rage over dota2 vs lol. wish i can bet over that.
Comment has been collapsed.
okay hate is just too strong word. i just don't like mechanics of mobas. + all those racism, lack of tolerance, weak community not helping also. i played a mmo famous with quality of community and very deep character creation and strategy elements for last 8 years (it's DDO btw). Guess can't deal with it moba communities after that kind of extraordinary gaming experience.

I am an active Dota player and i dont mind the community, sure there are idiots, but there are good people who want to help. And the russan players are getting better.
What did you play with such "extraordinary gaming experience", if i may ask?
Comment has been collapsed.
DDO: dungeons and dragons online.
it's a mmo game using D&D rules (some mix of third 4th edition and spell and tactics rules). An community mostly old Adnd players between 30-40 years old.

Well,then it's to be expected that if you're used to that kind of community you'll find that Dota's sucks balls, to be honest.

valvE holds the 2nd place with last year's TI with 2,8 million dollar and the highest LoL prizepool is 2,05 million USD

Also one interesting thing is that there's a possibility that this one Tournament's prize money could be larger than over 300 League of Legends tournaments prize money all combinded.

Being realistic that possibility is remote even if we took into account the unreleased rewards. I don't think it's likely that any new spikes on the prize growth will appear and the input's averaging 50k a day That would mean that at this rate we'd need around 40 days for it to get there and TI's starting earlier this year.

By completing these tasks have in mind though that the qualifier ones are not available anymore.
Buying points in the market or the Dota 2 store
By doing the daily hero challenge (Get in your compendium in-game and roll a hero, you'll get 25 points and a pack of cards.
And through in-game drops. I do recommend you to try to get it to level 50 or so, it's the sweet spot IMO. If you want more inmortals you can get it to 100 but I don't know. I'd go surely for at least level 50.
Also remember to offer at least one shitty item (a 2013 player card or whatever) to the offering each week. Just by doing so you'll get 25p. You can try to game the system and get rewards by risking more but make sure you at least offer an item each week.

For not giving a shit you certainly seemed rather pissed. But well. . .

its too much for a game like dota.
yes "e-sportsmen" should earn good amounts of money, BUT dota is not the game to earn that money. why? cos dota is not a game of skill, just a casual time grinder. i know some you devoted dota players think this from time time to while you are watching a pro match: "hey im better than this guy". well you are.
i have much more gaming hours for street fighter (both on console and at the arcade). dota scene and players are nowhere near sf. so much skill, time, travelling, knowledge to play that game on pro level. no matter how many thousands of hours you played the game, when you watch a top level match you can only think: "that guy surely can f me up". yes he can.
tl dr
dota nerds do not deserve that amount of money (2 millions for each nerd lol)
edit: i know dota is very very popular. i know dota economy is huge. but i dont give a shit.

It must be rather demanding to try so hard to be an internet tough bloke, innit?

That taunt really seems promising. Valve's putting a lot of value into TI this year to be honest, even if some stretch rewards seemed lackluster at 1st.

I'd settle on having everyone who's missing ported into Dota2 tbh.

I need to get into watching some competitive CS, even if everyone keeps telling me GO is utter shit and I don't really understand why.
But I do like how there are more lesser tournaments (official ones) scattered throughout the year.

Could we even reach more stretch goal if there were more?
I think like one or a maximum of 2 maybe, but maybe they're that good, that people buy more points :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe one at 10,4 M, but unless we see big spikes when the stuff that's left is released, I kinda doubt it.

As most of you are aware already The International, a Dota2 yearly tournament organized by valvE, is going to break the 10 million dollar figure any time soon. And I wanted to hear your opinions on it.
For the unaware HERE is the schedule. The event is going to be free to watch both in-game and on twitch.tv but valvE released a Compendium so that players could participate in the prize pool.
What's a compendium you might ask. It's literally a money-printing machine. At the point of writing the money raised by the community is of 8,198,804 USD and if we take into account that only a 1/4 of the actual price tag goes towards it valvE has made ## 32,795,216 in less than a month and a half from this digital book
It includes several rewards as in-game items, new modes, a Battle Point (in-game currency used for leveling up and each time you level you get a random item) boosters and many other rewards disclosed in the previously linked website.
So, what's your opinion in all this?
Do you think that e-sportsmen (e-sportspersons?) deserve such a gigantic ammount of money for winning? Do you think that e-sports will eventually reach in popularity the more traditional sports? Will we ever live in a world where something similar to what's happening at Brazil now (ignoring the social unrest and all that, we can't talk about politics here) involves a VIDEO GAME?
Do you follow any of the so-called e-sports? Do you think they deserve that name?
Also for those interested in e-sports ESL is going to be played in the motherfucking COMMERZBANK ARENA which seats 51,000 spectators. A video game played in a WORLD CUP stadium. Does that mean that an event Soccer World Cup-wise is soon to happen?
Discuss on, pals.
Also, hello y'all. How's it going?
Edit: Fucking stupid formmating how do I have big-ass text?
