Haha wat :S
Haha wat :S
When Dota2 announced 1 million prize I taught LoL was in trouble...seems I was wrong, Dota2 is in trouble.
Dota 2 in trouble? :D come on you serious?

Its a pre-beta tournament with 1 million, imagine a real big tournament..
Parent
But Dota2 is still gona be Pay2Play - that`s a big difference. Most LoL kids will not buy it even if it costs just 10$
Parent
i dont think valve really care its not like they cant survive without the money, plus WoW is pay2play and that doesnt stop it being the biggest mmo around

better game will still be the better game, wouldnt surprise me if half of LoL's playerbase dont even know what dota is or that LoL is based on it, they wont be missed
Parent
I like the way you think.
Parent
thanks starcraft name guy who i dont know the real identity of, i like the way i think too
Parent
You wouldn't know me even if you knew my actual e-identity.
(I'm raspberry in case you want to know.)
Parent
Real big tournaments may not reach the 1 million again. Launch & stuff gets many many sponsors. It will only happen if the game becomes very popular right from the start.
Parent
im pretty sure dota will be very popular. Dota current playerbase is way higher than everybody thinks it is :]


e: And lol is bullshit. every decent player will switch to a better game if they can, seriously 1 hour of this game & you get eyecancer
Parent
Sure but it is big enough to raise that much money from sponsors? I know that DotA's playerbase is far smaller than LoL's and I don't see DotA2's playerbase getting bigger than LoL's in the future.
Parent
I actually hope it wont get higher than lols playerbase, because that means many lol players would switch to dota 2 & that would destroy the game.
Parent
why would that destroy the game?
Parent
He's an elitist.
Parent
Too many noobs, he means...
Parent
I know, but it's bullshit so I tried to poke a reasoning out of him.
Parent
Imagine the amount of African villages we could supply with wells and schools.
Are you racist? Wells and schools to Africa with that money. Maybe casino, macdonals etc.
Parent
oh boy... lol
Parent
So true, lol.
Parent
Fuck schools, imagine the amount of African villages we could supply with food
Parent
Fuck schools, imagine the amount of Africans we could buy with that money!
Parent
shouldn't laugh about that but i did :x
Parent
I just giggled abit
Parent
I lol'd hahaha
Parent
you're supposed to pay for them?? :/
Parent
as if thouse moneys gonna be payed

probably ESL is sponsoring
Selling my LoL account lvl 30, 35 champs all needed runes 900 riot points, 1300 elo ;)
fucked up ur elo and now u want to sell? :D
Parent
yes... ranked hardcore trolling is too much for me
Parent
Thats higher than the starting rating.
Parent
you think i dont know that?
Parent
I wouldnt say its fucked up rating then =/
Parent
if u got that rating with like 100 wins and 98 lost.. its fucked up
Parent
It ain't that bad, I got 650 wins 647 loses and still ELO <1000
Parent
see what im talking about :D
Parent
1250-1550 elo = luck
Parent
I've been looking at some DotA stuff lately and I doubt whether it will get such a gigantic playbase as LoL has. They just can't get away from the fidgety graphics & UI which will make it hard to attract casual players.
do you have any idea how big dota's current playerbase still is?
because it might just be alot bigger than you think.
Parent
I do know that, it's just way smaller than LoL's playerbase and I don't know whether DotA2 can attract a BIG number of new players. Ofcourse they will steal some from LoL & HoN but furthermore I think it's not refreshing enough and it also doesn't stunningly surpasses LoL's graphics-style.
Parent
>DotA stealing from HoN and LoL

Parent
DotA is a predecessor to both HoN and LoL. Therefore I don't reckon them to be stealing anything. Won't deny the fact they might use something which has been a good improvement to the original DotA by the other games (though I guess this will only be the case with HoN).
Parent
yet he talked about stealing players from the hon and lol player base and youre talking about something entirely different

oops.
Parent
Quote...but furthermore I think it's not refreshing enough and it also doesn't stunningly surpasses LoL's graphics-style.

This made me think more about the games themselves than the playerbases. Excuse me.
Parent
in that context, it makes no sense...
Parent
Perhaps I interpret it in a different way than you do.
Parent
i already got that. I just had to be a dick and point out you were wrong.

But im very nice :P friends?
Parent
I have some blurry memories of you being a jerk to me before. So I'll skip this friendship for now. :)
Parent
wow, pumping money in shitty games, unheard of!
Would rather try my luck with the lotto, to win $5mil, than play a game where you are a some gay person with spells and a sword...
y shit game without esport potential, not like Brink.
Parent
I think you might actually be queer, you keep replying to me. If you are not queer then no, I don't need someone to clean my toilets.
Parent
oh some1 is mad. Dont worry bro just wait for brinkpro it will fix everything

Cool story bro!
Parent
damn i rly hoped for another idiotic reply but looks like you have ran out of em :(
Parent
QuoteWow, the amount of money in this genre is starting to get scary.
Win one tournament and you're fine for the rest of your life sitting on ~1,000,000$. In the future parents will be training their kids to game so they win one tournament and don't even have to start a career!
Parent
sounds like it should be
