Wooo Teamliquid to cover Dota 2 over LoL!

Why not League of Legends?

We understand that League right now is the biggest game with the largest player base. But this isn't purely a business or numbers decision for TL. At this moment, taking into account our existing core audience (StarCraft fans), we believe that Dota 2 should be the game we add to our coverage. It "fits" TL's style, and it's very popular among our staff, who play and watch the game as well as visit sites like r/dota2. We already have an active Dota 2 forum, and pro Dota 2 players are streaming using our stream list. Though no TL game expansion can compare to us adding StarCraft 2 two years ago, this is a similar situation where all the pieces are already in place.

This doesn't mean we hate League of Legends or that it has no place on TL. In fact, we have many fans of professional LoL on TL and they and our staff have done some amazing forum-based coverage of LoL tournaments, such as MLG Summer Arena or IEM Cologne. We're not ruling out adding League, but right now we feel that Dota 2 fits us more.

Well done TL.

So, riot did not pay TL?
It's obvious, TL means starcraft, and starcraft is supposed to be a hardcore game
same for dota
1 + 1 = ?

It's a subtle yet clever way of saying ''DOTA 2 is shitting on you LoL, get your shit together''.

Noxonius · 08-30-2012, 05:46 PM

I just hope that LoL dies before Dota does.

Madness101 · 08-30-2012, 05:47 PM

Welll Noxonius its unlikely either of those die soon,even if soon means in 2 years.

Why would a normal human being try to greentext on playdota?
And why would you use such a font

Madness101 · 08-30-2012, 05:56 PM

Greentext?I don't know,i use it sometimes because "it fits the sintuation"
Also,do you not like this font?

welcome to playdota, you need to meet Lycan.

and what does choosing the text color has anything to do with the topic?

Killerhunt · 08-30-2012, 06:01 PM

well, that's good news for us Dota enthusiast, it means our game will get more and more popular, which means more people will play it, and by the time Dota 2 gets about 2 million players we will be proud to say," i played Dota way before it was cool"

laikzasve · 08-30-2012, 06:06 PM

Problem is font,you should increase it.It's really hard to read it as it is now.

_Rinnegan_ · 08-30-2012, 06:07 PM

... is like this is happening some time ago , the different is now is official

Madness101 · 08-30-2012, 06:08 PM

Does this Fix it?
I myself think its too big.

"We understand that League right now is the biggest game with the largest player base. But this isn't purely a business or numbers decision for TL."

That right there is indirectly saying that Dota has more potential in the competitive scene than League does

Noxonius · 08-30-2012, 06:15 PM

The dumb masses will never pick Dota 2 over LoL simply because they don't want to spend all that time and effort of learning the game. Dota is simply too hard and harsh-natured for them.

But who cares, we don't want them anyway.
