Currency Conversions Coming with Patch 4.4.0 on 1 May
Currency Conversions Coming with Patch 4.4.0 on April 30
April Fools Brawls should be a thing.
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
MMO-Champion
If blizzard legitly put it at the same time to put dents in the hull of Dota2 then I think it's very bad by them.
But also, who's gonna be able to last 3 WCS regional finals at the same time?

I think WCS finals are on good time for me. I don't really follow Dota2 anyway.

How do you know? Last time I checked on Twitch.tv LoL had the most viewer and the second was SC2. Dota2 was third. In general, SC2 and Dota2 have around the same amount of viewer on twitch depite Dota2 having larger playerbase. It's not that big deal for either community even if this is LoL. This is not even WCS ss2 final. SC2 will be fine. Originally Posted by holz

Last year TI2 had a little under 600k viewers and the hours were bad for EU(which make up for a lot of Dota2 viewers).

2013-07-23, 05:00 PM #3109DeletedDotA doesn't have as many viewers on twitch because they don't only stream on twitch. And they still hav emore on there than SC2 most of the time. Originally Posted by Wildmoon

Also, this is the E-sports event with the largest pricepool ever. You can be damn sure more people will watch this than WCS.

Well its not that big a deal considering this is only the regional finals. It could be debated thats its not ideal but its not really that harmful for either scene.

I was literally on twitch when you said that and thats what the order was. Twitch numbers are way too inconsistent to have a reasonable debate over. The only thing that can be ruled out is that LoL is always #1 and that SC 2 and Dota 2 fight for a stable position in the top 2-3 games. But Dota does stream through other mediums like the in-game stream client. But tbh I think arguing among these community's is really unnecessary when the Dota 2 and SC2 communities share a lot of people and are compromised of similar teams and like minded people.

Another thing I want to add is that when I was browsing TL some guy made a list of 15 events year round that are more important than each individual regional final for season 2 so its really, really not a big deal like barely worth discussing when looking at it closer.Last edited by Deletedaccount1; 2013-07-23 at 05:27 PM.

On a different note, I hope Soulkey wins in the losers bracket, he needs to go to to the global finals so Apollo can buy him that lunch he owes. :P

You forget that there are a lot of people who Starcraft fan and don't really care about Dota. People who like SC2 will watch SC2 and people who like Dota2 will watch Dota2. They can even open both. I see nothing wrong here. Viewer count will turn out to be fine for SC2. Originally Posted by holz

2013-07-23, 06:31 PM #3114DeletedI'm betting on Bomber vs Innovation in the final. Artosis also said that Bomber will never win an OSL Code S, so yeah... Originally Posted by Knadra
