Look at Starcraft, arguably one of the first big eSport scenes, and look at where it's at now with SCII. Blizzard doesn't really know what they're doing when it comes to eSports.

I think they're more inept than indifferent. They totally slept on Dota.
Ketch and I just pulled off a super troll Abathur and Murky duo in QM. Just steamrolled them on Infernal Shrines, four level lead and all that. Felt good man, cause the 2 or 3 games before that were total poopshows.
Best part was that 3 of the people we faced in Abathur + Murky game were our teammates in the previous loss.

No comeback mechanics, 6.5/10
Have people figured out mYI? They are playing all out of sorts

He was pounding shots on stream a couple hours ago, I can't imagine it's serious
This game is so over. Fuck TLV. What a cheese hero

4 lvl lead seems more like it.
huh interesting link. Thanks!
I watch LoL sometimes. I sorta find HoTS more interesting to watch due to more hero variety in the team comps. Granted, I also kinda find it dull sometimes to watch LoL's early game. I might be a bit more biased towards Hearthstone/HoTS tho

I don't understand VP#s idea there they had no chance to core there w/o taking out muradin and they still went for it. if they had just retreated they should have been able to put pressure on the map and come out of it as a winning trade.
MYi continues to not only live of their own successes but often their opponent's failures. They have had a Tempo vibe for awhile now.

I strongly disagree with this post btw but will leave it at that. Having recently attended Dreamhack Austin I experienced firsthand how nice the events are setup

Eh, I think MOBAs killed Starcraft's esports scene just as much as anything Blizzard had done. No one game is going to stay on top forever. Even League and Dota will eventually take a dive.

Yeah it also helps that games like LoL and Hearthstone are far more viewer friendly than something like Starcraft.

It's pretty much the only one
He has been picked a lot this tournament. It helps that there are a ton of duo tank comps with him being a tank killer.
oh... Thanks! Yeah I just tuned in this morning (NA)

So how did the series between fnatic and myi end can't watch today.
Whole thing was a one way stomp.

Nice, EU finally catching up to their Tempo, even Virtus Pro put up a fight.
Maybe their style just doesn't work well against the meatier front line the Sonya ban brought forth.
Also loving Dignitas' Arthas Syndragosa strats.

And liquid can't clutch the finals once again. Dignitas is at least back to their spring strength. Now it's time to show us if Alex paid off.

Ah semis are bo5s already, so liquid still has a chance.
Li Ming with Arthas, Muradin and Falstad should be very strong. Root then gust good bye.

Ofc.
A question regarding Gul'Dan: his healing per tick of Life Drain doesn't directly scale with the damage his Life Drain deals, correct? If so, isn't this potentially a bit of a problem?
You life drain for one of two reasons - because you need health or as part of a damage rotation (sometimes, you want both). In the case of dealing more damage, all buffs to your life drain's damage is good - vulnerability or ability power, or the talent that grants extra life drain damage to enemies below 50% health.
But if your intention is to drain more health it's not so good - since boosting your life drain damage by one of those things doesn't increase your healing per tick, doing enough extra damage such that you're killing your target in less ticks of drain life means you heal less.
Been thinking about this today. Am I totally off the mark or is it just not a concern?

Do you have to change that in the options?
no, it launches in DX11 if your PC supports it.
