DotA 2 featured on CBC

[Squigly]

Just thought that I'd share this video interview featuring Aui_2000 of Cloud9. It's great to see gaming get some mainstream exposure on the news!

I saw that just a few hours ago, pretty cool. I like C9 and it's nice to see Canadian players like Aui and EE get some recognition.

Dota is responsible for some of the most exciting things in gaming. From the ingenuity of using another game in the beginning and making the first Dota that took over the WoW scene like a nasty addictive drug that no one could say no to, all the way to having the ability to create their own game. and now they hold some of the most high paying tournaments in the gaming world. For them to get media attention does not surprise me.

Interesting to see how gaming in general becomes more and more mainstream, and at a pretty fast rate too. I remember when some TV channels (can't remember which ones) broadcast TI4, which was a pretty big deal in my opinion.

First I love the username Do you actually play Pudge in the game HAHA. I saw a pudge last week who was wearing 4 different boots and noting else in his hand. It was the enemy so i am not sure what was going on but I can say he was not a very good player. missed his hooks, always hooked his terammates at the wrong time, even saved my but on 2 occasions by hooking his teammate. The sad thing was it wasnt a general oops i made a mistake it was straight line me then enemy then pudge and he hooked his teammate. yea not a fun game.( for the enemy of course HAHA)

I am still quite astounded as to how much money can be made by a good team in dota 2.

Enough money for you to survive in this planet for a year or two if you win major LANs. A lot more if you win the Ti.
It would be quite interesting to see how much is the prize pool of TI this year. Its certain that it will be 10 mil$+

Yep, I actually do play him quite a lot, only in normals though! I know how frustrating it can be to play with a mediocre or bad pudge, so I try to play super safe, and if I still mess up I'll try to help with the warding and stuff in order to not be completely useless.

In normal games its ok to make mistakes. those are the games we play just for fun.Get your hook down and you will be just fine. Get your last hits early on in game to build your items quickly.
