It's maybe the artistic approach that makes you think the CGI isn't standing out. I think was superbly done, though. Very Happy

I'm looking forward to seeing the actual gameplay finally. Since Valve announced the $1.5 million prize and then LoL announced a $5 million season 2 purse, it's obvious that the e-sports part of these games is making a big step forward. It may not be at SC2 level, but as much as I love SC2, I haven't played it in forever since I really got in to LoL. Maybe it's because the same amount of micro is not needed overall and focusing on one champ is easier, but these games require a lot of skill and are very competitive. Wish I was better at them haha. Damn, getting older and not having the same reflexes I had at 20 sucks.

you can't cast all those game without spreading them out so they don't overlap which would make the event take too long.

it's just the group phase anyway, the important matches after that are all cast.

Exactly. I guess commented matches will be determined by the broadcaster, but it has already been said that you will be able to watch all matches as you wish, you control it Smile
By the way.. I've been wondering, since you seem as interrested as I am in DotA2, where do you play DotA ? It could be nice to play one or two games Smile

That hero list, while being incomplete and a little small too, I agree, contains about every competitive hero used lately.. Some counters will be missing, but that's a beta for you Very Happy

It's still in beta so it is understandable that not all heroes are playable right now. Judging by the screen about half the heroes will be selectable. Not that bad.

Oh, and for playing Dota on causal level I recommend Dota League. http://www.dota-league.com/

Icefrog on Dota 2, being for the most part identical to DotA 1:

Quote:
There isn't any changelog really, we've kept it up to date with the latest version of dota. Our intention is that there are no major differences, but of course the game is still in beta development.

There are relatively minor changes primarily around fixing unintended bugs, like how the tower AI sometimes ignores Bat Rider completely (only partially fixed in dota1 recently), or Phase Boots causing critical strikes and bash to malfunction while active. Another example of a bug fix from dota1 to 2 is Maelstrom proc chance never working if you did not issue an attack order explicitly. We will eventually make changes in Dota2 (remakes, new content, etc), but when we do that it will be when you guys are actively playing it and seeing/testing the changes directly.

As the tournament is being played, I'll do my best to clarify things whenever it is needed and as time allows.

Yeah sorry for being extremely vague...but this post really baffled me. Does that mean it's identical to dota1 gameplay wise or just character abilities etc...cause they are supposed to present something "re-designed" i thought

Works here. The stream is basically this: http://www.own3d.tv/livestream/102581

Try watching that directly.

The website works totally fine for me.. And -cm stands for Captains Mode -_-
So consolitis, got popcorn ready ? Very Happy
Oh yeah and for anyone with issues with the stream, since it is hosted on own3d.tv, you have to disable AdBlock most of the time otherwise it won't work properly.
