THANKS for answering!

Try use something better for your Master thesis like Likert Scale.
This kind of questionare kinda troublesome for us to reply.

For the love of God, redesign your questionnaire. Also, use an online service to display your questionnaire, don't just textwall here. Seriously, which university allows you to conduct your data gathering in such an unprofessional manner?

Dota is a crap game, its does not have improvement in gameplay and graphic. Most of the people play this crap is hippies that does not have a proper income to buy decent gaming hardware n girlfriend. Th cannot afford to buy original game including warcraft 3 battle crest due economical situation or give damn about copyright licenses. Spending hundred hour on Dota is fun for them, its like same as grinding in world of warcrap. Same with playing cstrike. Get a life man~
