So, like Starcraft, Dota isn't without it's fair share of controversy.
Apparently Riot, the makers of LoL, have said to team managers "If you have a team in HoN or Dota 2, then you can't have a LoL team in our tournament."
Riot's need to buy their way into eSports is actually probably holding eSports back. I reckon it's bcause they know they have a bad game that will be overtaken by Dota, so they're trying desperately to throw money at people in an attempt to prolong their game.
Apparently since this was revealed, they have since said "Oh no, we're not doing that." But of Lo3 today Scoots said it was true, and that they are obviously revising their decision based on community feedback.
Man I can't wait till Dota 2 is released and buries LoL.
And if anyone wants to see my Windrunner outcarry an Antimage, match ID 38015629.

^^ Yeah heard about that, it was confirmed on Lo3 by EG's scoots, and by other ceos.
Totally dick move, but hey, what else do you expect from a company that bought it's way into mlg,esl and tried to buy dreamhack. They must be feeling really insecure, if they are going down to this.
And yeah I was reading about that LoL/DotA situation aswell, pretty funny how the representative for LoL pretty much just flat out denied it.
I'm just glad team's refused the idea rather than being bought out
Anyone been having problems with an insanely high number of disconnects recently? Everygame I've played the week or so has had a disconnect. very very annoying. the dota 2 client kinda crashes a little bit more nowadays..dont know why.
QQ: Losing game because there are people who pile upto 5k and dont buy anything...lost so many games where we clearly were ahead in towers and kills early-mid game..only to lose late game team fights, because people have early games items and 5k piled up. /QQ
I'm willing to play bot games with new players and teach them what I know. Which isn't a whole lot, but still know enough to be a mediocre player.
My shitty laptop has always made lag spikes for me, but the client has been crashing a lot for me. I would accept a game, then alt-tab while it loads, and 30 seconds later it will crash. Sometimes I have finished loading and the game continues, other times I don't finish loading and the game is cancelled.
Saving up for a new laptop so I can at least play without graphic lag spikes. Hope it fixes the crashing issue as well.
