I just had a nap because I was up all night studying for a midterm this morning and passed out accidentally a few hours ago. I was dreaming that we were meeting at Square One but we all went to the wrong places and were trying to find each other.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

regular streams are all HD only?

They are stuck in whatever resolution they are streamed at. Tonight I streamed at 960x600 resolution and at a 1000 kbps.

Before I streamed at 800x500 and 800 kbps. But I was forced to due to my older shittier internet.

MLG just released their schedule for Sunday. Turns out it will start at 12pm and the finals will start at 6pm and be over by ~8pm. I guess we will have time to play a few practice games or something afterwards.

do you only get ad revenue if you're a partner? or can you get a few pennies for your low viewer count?

The only money I use to get from my stream/vods were when I hosted gaf tourny vods on blip.tv. It was just change though, like 10-20 cents (USD) per video.

Maybe if you streamed LoL you could actually make some real dough :p.

Usually when I actually ladder on sc2 I can get decent viewers. Might do that more now because I got a better internet again.

I would just die over and over on LoL or Dota :( And most of LoL viewers are on owned.tv and not twitch.

How far along development is DOTA2 anyways? Does it seem almost ready for release?

nope.

They keep adding UI stuff, adding auras for some items, i think they might add more atk animation depending on which item you are holding ( currently only one does it ), animation on heroes, audio, etc.

but the major thing thats stop release it from release its missing like 20-30 heroes from dota on wc3. Once they are all out, the release should be really close and hopefully free to play :)

How quickly have they been trickling out heroes?

DOTA2 needs to be out this summer or else LoL's momentum might be too much to overcome. In fact, LoL's momentum may already be too much to overcome.

Once a week most of the time.
Sometimes 2 heroes come the same week



Thing is LoL is more noobfriendly then dota. Dota is extremely difficult to start with so many diffrent heroes, items, ward locations, juke spots, making sure you know what time it is in game, day & night diffrences, knowing how to deny/lasthit, etc. Different spell/items combos work and some don't. Shit, i even learn stuff nowadays

How many heroes does a MOBA need? Why is 50 better than 10? Most of them seem redundant.

Dota 1 has 108 heroes

If it only had 10 heroes the balance wouldn't be the same since in competitive there are counter pick and heroes you can ban.

And it can change it through the meta game. ( Some heroes don't get pick that much anymore, when they used to pick alot more a while ago, vice versa)

Everything is moe to me
so that quad amputee guy owes 15,000 in unpaid wages and he's trying to pay it off with a starcraft fundraiser.
