    Diablo 2 Resurrected is September 23rd there's not way they release 9.1 in September knowing that a lot of the playerbase will go back to D2R for a bit.

    Keep it secret, but I think "Special Guests" might be Illidan Stormrage, and "Mystery Casters" is Ner'zhul.

    Asmongold?
    Please... he can only play in 5v5s being carried and even then he attacks the wrong target or fails to press buttons/trinket.
    I saw a couple of hours of Soda and pika and Soda and ziko and that was SCARY, Asmongold has no chance.

    I really didn't. Being a whiner isn't unusual or special. Who cares when it comes? Quit until then like a normal person, there are other things in life.

    The signal virtue that this company does now is worse than how they are treating their current retail game.
    So, sad to see.
    This. So much this. Can't wait for to see which clueless female caster they choose just for the sake of diversity. The female caster in the last Arena Tournament was so clueless that she had to piggyback on the feedback and observations of the other casters and build on it. It was clear she was clueless and it was awkward for everyone.

    That's the Blizzard M.O.

    They made one game that was great for esports(SC2),and then proceeded to cram esports into every single one of their games,except the one that's great for esports

    That's one witty way to say $15

    Well, that certainly was a shorter-lived bookmark than anticipated.

    That Prize pool is hilariously low.

    Single Events
    Dota 2's TI - over 30 million in 2019
    Fortnite World Cup - 15mil x2
    PUBG in 2021 - 7mil
    League of Legends - 5mil+
    CoD 2020 - 4.6mil
    Games like SMITE, Fifa, Games I've never even heard of etc.

    Hell Path of Exile has community run tourny worth more than this right now - over 35k in prizes, this is half community fundraised.
