So Blizzard is going to have the NA, EU, and SK finals all on the same weekend and at the same time as TI3. All I want to say is that you better have a dota2 client because Twitch will be dead all weekend.

Are they going to take twitch down or are you just saying it'll be blizzard stuff all weekend?

If it's the former, some streamers could still live stream straight through YouTube.

Two major events happening over one weekend is going to overload twitch as thousands. I doubt anything above 360p will be crystal clear with twitch already having problems.

Well twitch is so random that it doesn't really matter what event is going on.

Disagree. Twitch was amazing, and anyone who saw EVO, saw amazing production values and very consistently high quality streams. The only people who complained didn't have internet connections fast enough for the 720p they were trying to watch, worked flawlessly for me all weekend once Sean figured his router out. Now granted, EVO isn't going to draw as many as both of these events will. I think part of this is blatant by Blizzard to preserve their South Korean market. Everyone knows Dota is expanding into South Korea, and its working pretty well, but if the Blizzard finals distract all the South Korean player base, the International wont be able to captivate the Koreans the way it might have, especially since there are no Korean teams at TI3. FXOpen is gonna make a case for TI4 though, they are very good.

The thing is though, this was such a bad move for Blizz. It took a SC2 expansion to put SC2 back into top 10 played for South Korea. As much as I hate to say it, outside of Blizzard RTS, the genre of strategy is dead as an e-sport. Also Koreans love themselves some LoL, and I am sure they will love Dota2. The weekend viewership will be broken down like this:

SC2 fans will watch WCS

Dota2 fans will watch TI4.


Fans of both will most likely watch TI4 as it is the superbowl of esports.


P.S. Totalbiscuit who is a SC2 team owner, caster, youtuber has already said he will be watching TI4 when his team isn't playing. That dude is such a huge part of the scene, it is scary what power he wields.

TI5 actually. QPAD won TI3 and Chuan 1v5d all of TI4, and that isn't 5 players its 5 teams, and all he had was 2 tangos, a gg branch, and a divine rapier on wisp.

Wait until the new Homeworld 1 and 2 HD remakes come out with better matchmaking. RTS will be back!

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights

Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
