DotA is a great game and does require a lot of skill, being the top DotA team is basically just as hard as being the top CS team, It's just that the play style of DotA compared to WCIII and CS is unique and most don't like to play/watch DotA games. Actually, Blizzard does show a bit of support for DotA, at Blizzcon there is always a DotA tournament (although small). Until DotA gets included into a great league such as WCG, it can't really be recognized as a competitive esport by most.

ESCW have added DoTA which is a very good news to DOTA fans all around the world (some say ESCW is 2nd after WCG some say they are even better than WCG!)

anyway another good news for dota fan

Added on January 30, 2008, 7:04 am50|Calbre picks up a dota team!

The upcoming American talent has started to become known, as teams such as Transcendence have risen up to be a powerful team. After a respectable 4th place finish at the Fire in Ice LAN this past December, 50 Calibre announced today that trNs would become their DotA division.

Though Transcendence has yet to win a major event, they have spent the past months re-arranging their roster. They recently announced their additions of former eMazing Gaming member, Dean 'AlvinYork' Malmberg and goingLive's Sean 'Cubswin' Winkler.

As the largest online tournament to date has started, trNs will look to prove that they deserve to represent 50|Cal as their DotA team

Nick 'Mirror' Laney told GotFrag, "I'm excited to join up with 50 calibre gaming. So far everyone i've met has been pretty awesome and the staff are incredibly helpful. Moving forward .50|cal DotA is ready to play to the best of our capabilities and have results that reflect it."

"After ESWC announced that DotA would be one of the official games for 20008. 50Calibre Gaming began looking into various North American DotA teams. No team stood out more than team trNs. Thus it is with much excitement 50Calibre is able to announce the addition of our new DotA squad. Look forward to seeing them compete in various upcoming DotA LAN and online events," stated 50|Cal owner Andrew 'sLz' Washington.

http://www.gg-game.com/forum/viewthread.ph...&extra=page%3D1

?? you are retardeD? i guess so you are

WCGZone is just an online league ler. It doesn't mean that DoTA is already official in WCG list. The list not even out yet.

some stupid people they never use brain one

want to impress people by acting smart but just making themselves looks even worse

"haha, u guys, slow pickupper,"



1st flaw - being added in WCG"ZONE" Online League does not makes it an official WCG game yet

2nd flaw - read back the date of the thread started and the date WCG"ZONE" picked up DOTA

fking retard

Pak Lah needs to come up with a nationwide plan to brainwash all gamer citizens about any knowledge of doe-tar or... We could just let the situation get self-destructive *just keep drawing more players into playing doe-tar* and when wcg officials survey the malaysian e-sports scene to find that 99% of the gamers play, eat, drink, sleep doe-tar the entire nation will be labeled dotard capital of the world. Tourists will come flocking in to see how dotards live, function and breed.

Flizzardo is cruel !

haha cruel is compliment to me haha


anyway good news to dota again

PGSPokerStrategy has finally joined the other top teams switching over to Defense of the Ancients, in preparation for the ESWC Championship in California. PGS is now the fourth team involved in the g7 teams to announce their team, along with MYM, mouz and SK.

The team has picked a Polish squad that has not been known in the international scene, which is led by captain Maciej 'Mandigal' Czeszewski. The teams previous name was BVG, meaning Brylant vs Granit as well as Betsson Voodoo Gaming.

The team has yet to place in an MYM PriDe tournament, but the players could have been found on the Poland Nations team for the MYM Nations tournament. Other leagues and tournaments the team has been apart of are DotA League, DCE Nations, and others.

Team manager, Marek 'The.Cup.Of.Tea.' Buga stated, "I'm very happy, that we can play in such a big multiclan as PGS.Pokerstrategy. Few weeks back, we had to make hard decision - leaving one of biggest polish multiclans and stay with nothing." He went on to say, "It is a big honour for us to join PGSPokerstrategy. No one can deny the fact, this is a big step for our [polish] DotA scene - the very first polish team has a stable sponsor, which allows us to talk about professionalism of DotA in Poland."
