[QUOTE]Last week, it was reported on Chinese national news that Dota 2 would be part of an upcoming Chinese nation-wide esports tournament. Now we have more details emerging…
The announced nation-wide esports tournament will be held by Zhejiang Daily Newspaper in conjunction with renowned esports broadcaster and media company Gamefy. There will be events held later this year as well as an all-new league to begin next year. For the events to be held this year, online regional qualifiers will begin by the end of June, and there will be post-season offline finals.
Amongst all this news, the fact that everything will be simulcast live across various digital platforms — including negotiations for live feeds to broadcast television, as well as official Chinese Administration of Sport support (with further details of national team selection to come later on), are highlights so far. Specifically, it has been revealed that next year’s league format competition will occur under the patronage of the Administration of Sport, with the goal to build grassroots structures in regional sporting agencies as well.
It would seem that Dota 2, being the headline game in all this, has unprecedented governmental support in China…

So how long until Dota 2 is in the Olympics?
china dominance praise glorious china for chuan and his llama steed

Gaben mysteriously disappears after the team loses.
This is actually cool as fuck, an official national dota team.
Valve is currently working on a "low-violence" version for China.
They all play the same role and get the same amount of farm.

They don't use Steam with Dota 2. They use Perfect World, which sponsors and hosts Dota 2 in mainland China.

funny enough the china version uses a very minimal steam, all it does is download/update dota 2 with a play dota button.
Doesn't China have a huge problem with Skeletons?

Masked Skeleton king has nothing on Unhappy Apparition.
Here are all of the Chinese hero model faces for reference.

how are bane & nightstalker changed?
All of Bane's chest detail was removed and nightstalker's open wounds were removed.
I still want that Lifestealer in my game.
What's up with Undying and Visage? Maybe they're subtle changes but I can't see them.

Undying no longer has a torn up stomach.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;41091452]What's up with Undying and Visage? Maybe they're subtle changes but I can't see them.[/QUOTE]
I think Visage was changed to be less ghost-like
I think it would be cool to have those Chinese models be items for heroes everywhere else.
Can China access Steam?
Yes

Anyway, how would a national team work? Who would they compete against or are there other national teams in DotA2?

At last someone has muzzled Lifestealer.

I think the Lifestealer replacement actually looks really cool in game.

They have restrictions on a few things, so Valve can't release it there until they made a "low violence version", which has already been somewhat detailed. It changes skeletons for example, which they have superstitions about.

It's somewhat supposed to be like that. Changing it just enough to leave the hero almost the same but still pass regulations I guess.
[QUOTE=ECrownofFire;41090554]Valve is currently working on a "low-violence" version for China.[/QUOTE]
they're removing the gore and undead characters because chinese culture doesn't like desecrating the undead or something.
really nice how valve are fixing up their game so the chinese audience can check it out

I think every company has to do this if they want to release a game in china, it's not just valve being nice, I'm pretty sure it's the law.
