DOTA 2 Comp - Winner gets 1 Million USD

I will be watching the livestream.

Is it DotA teams or HoN and LoL teams as well? That would be interesting to watch.

Also $1million is peanuts to Valve. The probably made ten times that on the Summer Sale.[/wildspeculation]

one million. Thats 1 000 000. Thats probably more than i will earn in my entire life time.
I really wish i enjoyed dota when i used to play it now :(
 
I was awful at it! No regrets here could never have competed :D Will watch this though, long time since I got on an irc channel and tuned into a live stream, lots of geeky yet social pleasure to be had.
 
They're basically getting a million dollars to advertise the game then, seeing as the "tournament" is pretty much the first time they are going to get their hands on the game.
 
Well if you look at the success of League of Legends (probably the most played online game at the moment) you can see that the MOBA genre is doing extremely well. Dota2 is going to be massively sucessful, I can guarantee you that.

Pretty sure the invited teams have been alpha testing the game.

No doubt about it, CCM will smash every team.

You'd like to think so when they've just been bought for 6 million dollars :eek:

I note there was a lot of surprise that Valve would offer a $1m prize for their Dota 2 tournament at Gamescom: maybe this goes a little way to explaining why that sum is perhaps not so extraordinary (y’know, other than the fact that Valve live in houses made of platinum).

Chinese DotA 1/StarCraft 2/Warcraft 3 team Catostrophic Cruel Memories, aka CCM, was earlier this week bought out by businessman Sicong Wang, director of Wanda Enterprises, for the sum of 40,000,000 Chinese yuan – that’s about $6.2 million. Whaaaaat.


The five (that’s all) people involved have reformed as a new team, now owned by Wang, called Invictus. CCM was due to play in the Dota 2 tournament; Invictus will now take their place, by dint of being exactly the same people. Got that?

Valve’s tournament cashpot may have seemed absurd, but this rather seems like a vote of confidence in how lucrative an e-sport Dota 2 might prove to be.
