The bi-annual DotA-tournament at DreamHack is one of the biggest LAN-events for DotA in the Western world, but according to the preliminary list of eSport-games for DH Winter 08, the game has gotten the boot.
The current version of DotA has been subject to heavy debate in the past weeks, and this situation could add more to that fire. There has been made no official comment on the matter, but so far only CS 1.6, CS:Source, Trackmania and the Quake-franchise has been named as official games for the Winter-edition of DreamHack.
It could be a substantial blow for the Northern European DotA-scene should DreamHack discontinue one of the oldest - and most succesful - LAN-tournaments in the world.
There is still hope for the game though, as it is stated on the website that "more tournaments will be published later on". Even more, neither WC3 nor StarCraft has been mentioned in the tournament-list, and the announcements of the RTS-titles included at DH is usually done later than the other games.
Be sure to check back at myMYM.com updates on the situation.

They will add it later with all the other games they always have tournaments in, and DotA have even been one of the biggest at dreamhack so if they drop something they will drop something else... no need to try to upset people -__-

it will get added, guaranteed there is nothing to worry about
it would be more of a loss to the event if they didn't do dota, then to the community itself Last edited by cMw at 07.10.2008, 00:06

A few critiques~
- It appears it would not have been difficult to discover that DotA (and probably others) will likely be added at DH later on. That's why this article is generally misleading. - What basis is there to suggest that the heated discussion about the version has something to do with DotA being "dropped" by DH? It seems there is none, at least from the data presented. Thus, the basic point is purely negative, unnecessary speculation against DotA, i.e. agitation. Why? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

when you don't have any material to write a news on, don't just try to invent stuff.
It is usual to announce the games in 2 parts, and its always the fast fps stuff that get announced first the rts later on. So the Big News about fake polemic is just kind of useless. | |

Wether a LAN event will present DotA or not is not up to the current (stable) version. It's always about the money, wether it will worth it for them or not. And as DotA has been growing and is still growing fast, it does worth for LAN organizers. DotA has a big community and all the news are visited by thousands of people.
And yeah, this isn't news, this is rumour. Would be better if the article was changed to a rumour so noone would complain about it. | |

Guess people do not know that Phil knows more about dota and the dota scene then they do and has been following before people knew the D in Dota meant. But what ever
If this news is anti dota then it's anti RTS as well. As he said WC3 and SC have no been mentioned. As Dreamhacks first list of games WC3, SC and Dota are usually listed along with CS, but for some reason not this time. Last edited by GenoZStriker at 07.10.2008, 04:53

Well phil as a good journalist maybe you should ask the ones that takes care of the DotA tournament at DH? ^^ And the million dollar question is, Does Dreamhack take care of that tournament or is it some other site *hint* *hint* That does it? Ask them and then you could gladly publish the news. I would love to hear if DotA was dropped but as I said before, you look more for amount of readers than the quality of the artice.
| |
And yea btw Genostriker is that so? Seems like you do know an awful lot about what "people" knows in general then ^^ Could you please enlighten me about how you got this info? And yea Phil mentions that about RTS in general, so what? It still makes sense since it's usually the same guys making the tourny for sc, wc3, and DotA.

hahaha... Phil has written more lines in answering for people's agitation than he wrote in his article. I think he shouldn't go babbling about something which he only "suspects" and remain patient till he knows something for sure.

i doubt dreamhack is ever gonna drop dota..but it is logical to publish this, as before when eswc announces dota is not in eswc 2009 first pool of games. no heavy flames back then. why so srs? (:
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
