DotA

The (not so) Perfect Blend

dota, dota-article, eswc

DotA has grown a lot since is first came out. But can it really compete with the other big games like CS, WoW and WC3? Matthieu Dallon decided not to choose dota to join the rounds in the next ESWC but said there may be place for it.
Why should dota even be there, different from other big games, dota have a fewer amount of spectators and almost getting boring. So why include it into the eswc 2009? Denmark Phillip "Phil" Rasmussen explains why Dota is getting boring, why there arent more spectators and if its really deserves a place in the next eswc!

dont make a drama out of a single use map settings map not being side by side with actual games :) dota has no business in esports unless they decide to separate from blizzard and make an actual game out of it, aka product of its own, being only sorta micro oriented it provides hours of easy fun so no wonder it spread around so fast - something like fast food, it's cheap so it's popular, but that doesnt mean its equally good as genuine food, not equal by long shot...

If force won't work, use greater force.

because hiding behind a box in cs appears to be quite popular, and playing wc3 1v1 forever with the same repeated strats seems awesome :\

:D Hey, it takes strategy to remain hidden behind a box and stay alive. I could say the same thing about dota then, seeing the same heroes over and over again.

I never quite understood why people get their jollies off putting down DotA. It's like greasy cheap food, it's a crap strategy game for idiots, its just a settings map that leeches off a real RTS game, etc., blah, etc. Always the same people making such comments for years, too. Just leave the shit alone if it bothers you...

Actually I never understood, why the dota-community get so aggressive when dota is not included in list of games at tournaments or leagues and call the organizers dumb or retarded. Immediately the people bring out comments saying that dota > Starcraft or any other game ever created. That's where people from other game communities Like Dendra come and defend their game. Since you guys always take every single thing said about dota serious as if you have been shot in the head and get so mad for things that didn't happen.

We all know dota is a popular game and is played a lot, but then organizers have their ideas or are trying out something different this time by not adding dota. How do you think the SC community feels when SC gets left out, but they do not post shit as much as I have seen the dota community do. When WoW replaced the WC3 community it was a WTF moment for everyone but after a week everyone just learned to deal with it.

At the moment dota is in a good position. With good tournaments, leagues, players following the rules, more companies will sponsor dota tournament with the desired prize.

My point is simply this: I think the game is brilliant -- I really do -- but I can understand if others disagree. Yet if they do dislike it, is it too much to ask for them to just leave it be, like most people do with such things? No, it's not.

I agree with you. Sometimes the people claim for a DotA league but in the end few of them watch the games. That's why I like to watch mix-tournaments like WCG, we have the opportunity to watch different games, like Starcraft. DotA is one of the e-sports, but not the only one. If ESWC drop DotA from the game's pool, no problem. We have many others leagues to watch or participate. ;D It's Coke time!

What an asshole. DotA is getting boring because of the so late inclinate games, games should be an all time game but you can see half of the team farming and farming, so it get crappy as a 3v3. aWrnSS

Who cares about eswc? Do we play dota because have fun of it, don't we?

(2 months ago) #19 Flex-

its not about having fun anymore, if you exclude leagues and tournaments, there will be no dota covarage nor websites devoted to it... i would say leave dota in the fun section of the sites... Sup?
