DOTA 2

Fucking Valve is killing me this summer.

They still haven't released the new sets yet. I'm guessing the Kunka Divine Anchor set will be the most desirable.

I also think Valve should reclassify the old immortals like timebreaker, alpine stalker, and dragonclaw as artifacts.

I know I'm buying that Lone Druid set the second it comes out. I've used spirit of the calm for a long ass time but that red panda is fucking adorable.

Are the unreleased sets viewable somewhere?

Holy shit

Original :News - International Dota 2 Championships on ESPN Networks

"(...) And for the first time, viewers can watch all the matches, interviews, and analysis happening over the course of the four-day event on ESPN3, accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360, and Xbox One."

Not just the noob stream.

It's the really shitty ESPN though, but eh, it's a start. Guess LoL will probably get the same stuff for their Worlds Series tournament, couple years from now it might end up on ESPN2 and then, who knows.

How about this weekend it'll be on ESPN2 ...

at 8:30 EST prime time on ESPN 2 a show previewing the finals - haha that's sick as fuck. I really hope EG makes the grand final - or Navi/C9.

You can say its nothing, but its a big first step regardless. Seriously you're saying that even having it mentioned on the biggest sports network in the states isn't good enough when having no mention was the expectation?

the biggest news from that is that its available on all the ESPN streaming services.

I said it's a start. I was just saying, it's not like stardom or whatever.

No you didn't. You said it was a start having it on ESPN3 which is ESPN's streaming service.

Cause that's what it is. Having a 5mins preview on ESPN2 isn't much more, it's probably gonna make the news too due to the prize pool, doesn't mean it's OMG ESPORTS SO RESPECT or whatever. Maybe if it turns out to be like a 30-40mins show and shit, there's no specific mention though so I'm gonna go with 3-5mins ad inbetween actual stuff.

I don't think this is a 5 minutes segment.
