Kinda tough, small details really run along the lifetime of dota in malaysia. Take the private sponsored pelayan biru for example. That itself created a huge difference in maintaining dota's fan base nationwide. Almost all CC has pelayan biru client installed. take the infamous inferno and warnet at ss15 for example where previously it was swamped by cs player. nowadays it is slowly overpowered. And then CC like Kaos and Zionnet comes along, where they are pretty much dedicated to dota alone.

I say, unless there's a new game (that has fairly low requirement, not everyone's PC can support high end games) that comes along and get featured in some tournament with big prize money, not much other RTS can be compared to DOTA ftm.

games like CS are really really good at maintaining it's fan base. BUT, to play CS multiplayer online, you need original CD-Key T_T. And online games like GunZ and DOA can never really compared up to CS. FEAR requirement too high.

to conclude, dota is here to stay for at least.... 2 years more.

haha totally agree. i wasted half of my secondary school's life in CC, skipping half the classes and play halflife, CS, starcraft, diablo2, neopets (yesh i used to grab that omelette everyday). the thing is, everywhere else people rarely play in cc anymore. correct me if i'm wrong, but most of my friends who used to play cs says it's better to play on steam.

no more heyday for CS after FMJ disband. eDTs -> dota enet. nbtd -> hilang ntah kemana. sedih...
