Trailer looks disappointing, but I've read that Dota 2 is basically 1:1 port of DotA, which is great, because I've played that **** on and off since 2004 and will totally own everyone in Dota 2 when it's released.

In case anyone follows the competitive Chinese dota scene for the Dota 2 tourney DD will play for Tyloo still and CCM still has xiao8 and DDC despite all the team switching recently.

I think the live stream is suppose to start in around 30minutes. The stream currently has some flying embers or something with music.

Those skins are so ugly. And I don't like the graphics. I need to play this before I make decision skipping hon for that.

Just watching the replay while at work - nothing really seems to happen?
The idea of the game sounds good though and I never played a game like it before, is it worth trying league of legends?

Is it just me or did the entire site just crash?

So far I'm not very impressed. The observer interface is about 5 steps backwards from what HoN has and the graphics are meh. I've never played DOTA or LoL but I understood what was going on when watching LoL a lot better than I have been in this match.

to be honest its two chinese teams infamous for hour long + games ricing and saving for buybacks

kind of a bad way to introduce dota to the masses. If i were producer i would hvae gone with a euro team or tried to get navi in premier

Also is there a stream that actually has commentary? The English stream doesn't appear to have any.

The interface is definitely clunky and has a blocky feel to it. Hopefully that's just an observer mode and will be changed in the future

I could work out some of what was going on by working out the equivalent HoN characters (like I knew clockwerk = pharoah and tiny = pebbles) but for the characters I didn't know the animations were really indistinct and it was very hard to work out what was doing what. I'm sure it would get a lot better with familiarity with the game.
