I hope DOTA2 viewership mops the floor with Starcraft 2. #3

I just can't wrap my mind around how this would be fun to watch. I guess it's fun for someone or they wouldn't be streaming it though. Heatware: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=69697 #7

I really never played the game but it was interesting to watch. Wow the prize money for this thing was insane..I would have taken 8th place ($43,000)..

Well deserved 1.4 Million and played a great close game of 3-2 with NaVi. My fav teams were Alliance, NaVi, and Liquid. \| EVGA Z68 FTW \| EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC 3GB \| EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 \| Custom EK Water Loop \| Red Harbinger Cross Desk \| i7 2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.24v \| Corsair 16GB Vengeance \| Corsair Neutron 256GB SSD \| Corsair AX850 \| Lamptron FC5V3 \| ASUS VE278 27" \| \| Creative Inspire T6160 5.1 & X-Fi Fatal1ty 7.1 Champ \| Razer Marauder & Spectre & Tiamat 7.1 \| Affiliate Code: 3MHCIBME48 \| Associate Code: 08HWLPJXE0O5MPM #18

For Dota 2 International, theres about 2,500 seats in there plus over a half of million (567,000+) spectators watching the championship. You wont see that in a FPS game. But each to their own, also glad to see some people enjoyed it even though they dont play dota. \| EVGA Z68 FTW \| EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC 3GB \| EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 \| Custom EK Water Loop \| Red Harbinger Cross Desk \| i7 2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.24v \| Corsair 16GB Vengeance \| Corsair Neutron 256GB SSD \| Corsair AX850 \| Lamptron FC5V3 \| ASUS VE278 27" \| \| Creative Inspire T6160 5.1 & X-Fi Fatal1ty 7.1 Champ \| Razer Marauder & Spectre & Tiamat 7.1 \| Affiliate Code: 3MHCIBME48 \| Associate Code: 08HWLPJXE0O5MPM #22
