- Graphics (Source Engine though dated and run only on DX9 but can be updated frequently can still produce beautiful graphics at the highest level and they recently introduced Cloth Animation)

- Aesthetics (Looks good, feels good, during clash you wont get confused easily unlike in HoN thought its subjected to each individual preferences)

- Support (With a Large Company Valve in charge of Dota 2 as well as Eul and Icefrog on the team the game would last as long as DotA or maybe even longer)

- Steam (dont have to layan ah bengs on gayrena and can play on internationally levels and meet pros and assholes worldwide)

If it's F2P then their stupidity is confirmed, why pirate something you can get for free

If it's B2P then they will also lose out on the weekly updates as well as the in game store (bengs love flashy costumes)

Besides, one does not simply come in and wreck MP in Valve Game due to VAC, extensive background check for those using dupes, and Dota 2 could use the upcoming banning players integrated in L4D2 already

I mean ever since TF2 went free to play sure bunch of newbs start popping like rabbits but few weeks and months later they got better and the F2P attitude is not as bad as i expected, most just kept quiet but sure got some bad apples

Still have some elitist now and then but fewer, playing with LYN kaki makes the game more fun/relaxing
and 80% we'll get Russians that go laggggggggggg

thing is, it should not be there

Gayrena is literally promoting open piracy, its a wonder Valve, Blizzard and many other Devs are not suing them. One theory is that they see gayrena as a potential place to access a wider potential consumer base

anyway, Dota 2 would be on Steam, Valve never outsourced their games to other platforms/companies for a region unlike S2 Games/Riot Games with HoN and LoL

Dont worry man, as of the moment, Valve are increasing server capacity worldwide and Dota 2 is currently in Closed Beta not Open Beta. It will be another few months before open Beta. Oh and Valve makes lots of monies everyday so dont worry about the server part, time will tell. As of the moment, they have servers in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai for the Asian player base.

sorry to burst your bubble man, valve have local distributor and their own cybercafe program, many CC in malaysia are already subscribed under it

Dota 2 could be F2P if that is why you want it on gayrena, else it could be RM 100 or less, splash some cash for something you like

Oh one more thing, Steamworks games are on Steam, Dota 2 uses Steamworks which makes it exclusive on Steam

only few, most are delays

have to agree on HoN being fast paced but i think the metagame for Dota 2 for our region is slowly changing

i was able to get a few games to end within 30 mins which is quite a feat if you compared with a farmfest of >40 min

a wide percentage of the local gaming community for ARTS game is just not mature enough
