Local community is more cancerous than peru. Kappa.

It all depends on the ones you meet. This current generation of gamers, not just in DotA but most online games are a pretty angry bunch.

The Final Day of the FrankFurt Major Begins now

I stopped playing Dota after thousands of hours. I became too toxic, raging at noobs etc plus it became too easy.

Back to Starcraft 2, like me 1v1 no noobs to rage at.

[bushwakka]

^ditto. Starcraft 2 ftw

[meccalli]

You guys threw away a good career if it's too easy, starcraft is dead in most of the world. Dota earnings are in the millions now in comp/scrim.

DOTA, LoL, HON and anything that is EASY but gives the illusion of being hard will always make money.

So Justin Bieber makes millions, his music is still rubbish.

I was at ~1800 MMR ranking in HON before, I used to run a service where I would charge people to increase their rank. I would invite them to my team to get them out of the 1600s mmr bracket. Then a lot of these companies started cracking down on it.

My style is 1v1 Starcraft 2. Not no nooby 1 hero stomping. MOBA games like League and DOTA are watered down RTS for people without skills. Its fun though, I played them for thousands of hours.

[meccalli]

So you're saying you wouldn't make bieber music if it would fetch you millions because its too easy/terrible? If you're that good you should be playing comp, and now that qualifiers are allowing south american teams to get into the big leagues it's possible now, more than ever with prize pools growing every year.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

^ I doh waste time behind pipe dream.

These games are 5v5 not 1v1. If the team is garbage then you lose, South American teams are complete sheit.
Do you know the famous quote in league, dota and HON? its "I have a BR/LA on my team, GG"
Or if its HON "BR/LA CC 15"

Meaning concede in 15 minutes. They don't know English and they don't bother learning it but insist on joining US Servers.

Exceptional players stand out and that's why scouts pick them up for major teams. eg. Sumail, pakistan 16 yo, who grew up playing dota in an internet cafe, drafted by eg and just became a multi millionaire after winning ti5. Twitch streamers like Miracle who just won frankfurt with og made his way by simply pubbing and ranked games and got recognized for their mmr.
