That's pretty cool, but I think I'll keep watching webstreams instead.
Pretty neat concept
s'like selling front-row seats compared to the shitty ones. Neat.
Dota 2 is slowly becoming a sport, oh my.
[QUOTE=Mr Kirill;36422851]Dota 2 is slowly becoming a sport, oh my.[/QUOTE] To be honest, I like that. For some reason I really enjoy watching MOBA-tournaments.
[QUOTE=Mr Kirill;36422851]Dota 2 is slowly becoming a sport, oh my.[/QUOTE] Seeing as Dota already was, this makes perfect sense.
Just going to point out that if it wasn't Valve you'd all be throwing insults.
[QUOTE=Chirno;36425308]Just going to point out that if it wasn't Valve you'd all be throwing insults.[/QUOTE] Not really, it sounds like a perfectly decent idea and I'd approve of it being in any competitive MOBA, assuming it's decently priced

[QUOTE=carrot;36426690]It costs 4$ to watch the whole tournament, that includes all the replays too. And you can switch between commentators.[/QUOTE] Now that sounds like an extremely fair price, so I see no issues with this
[QUOTE=Mr Kirill;36422851]Dota 2 is slowly becoming a sport, oh my.[/QUOTE] That's what Valve wants, actually.
Its nothing i'd pay for, but for those who like that sort of thing. It sounds like a steal.
[QUOTE=Chirno;36425308]Just going to point out that if it wasn't Valve you'd all be throwing insults.[/QUOTE] It's never been implemented before in any other aRTS game. And you have no idea what you're talking about anyways (probably don't even play the game so you wouldn't understand how useful this is to some people), as this would be a no-brainer buy for many fans (full HD, commentary, you get to control the camera and see things that the casters missed, or just switch to their view if you suck with the camera).
This would be good for other pros who actually want to look at things they want to improve on from other pro players. Instead of just watching the big battles and big picture like you see on live streams, you would be able to see the small things that they do if you want to improve.
[QUOTE=Mr Kirill;36422851]Dota 2 is slowly becoming a sport, oh my.[/QUOTE] i'm pretty sure that's the whole point of DOTA 2 [editline]21st June 2012[/editline] i hope the spectator options are good, i'd especially like the game to just follow the caster's camera or whatever if i want, because if i'm watching a tournament i just want to sit back and watch.
