QUOTE(johnnycp @ Nov 23 2007, 08:17 PM) u all DOTA players have enough tournament already. endless tournament i would say. Why you want DOTA to go for WCG...? enough for the DOTA... some people hardcore DOTA till like they got brain washed by the game.. just let other game shine, they are more good game available out there. just because of people crazy about DOTA, they forgot the existence of other games out there. we malaysian need to move forward. not aways stucked in here Seconded that,let other games shine since there are shit load of potiential games like CoH:OF,UT3,Quake 4 and ETQW to be played in WCG or any tourney.All these old games in WCG and other major tourney is making these games not being played much in competitve level. Enough DotA,move on to other games. If you are talking about custom mods or maps to be included in WCG,then,even DCPro should be in,for gawd sakes.It's designed to be played competitvely from ground up.

If you think WCG disrespects DotA then why not say that DotA disrespects the Malaysian gaming community... Besides the occasional FIFA....MSR....CS competitions...how many other games have other tournaments that are not WCG... How many Quake , UT , CoH or even vanilla War3 tournaments have you seen these days...the amount of these tournaments can be clearly counted on 1 hand... And let me ask you another thing...the DotA nationals grand prize is RM33k whereas the WCG national finals is a miserable RM8k for CS plus other stuffs like Computers and such but really RM33k can get you all this and more... So please do some more research as to why we think that there is too much DotA tournaments here and the last thing we need is for it to go to WCG. For God's sake if one person here were to win all the DotA tournaments that is in this subforum....he would be richer than Jonathan 'Fatal1ty' Wendle in around 1.5 years....or less... So don't you dare say that WCG insults DotA...as DotA insults other games in the gaming community here. Seconded that. Now,even CCs dont have latest games because of the DotA community.It's killing every other game community out there.Now,who actually care for new games like WiC,CoH or anything that looks better than DotA? 95% of Malaysian dont and im always the weirdo playing something else in CC. Besides,it's making me sick to see C2D and 8-series cards are being used to play WC3.Those hardware are under used. QUOTE(TeckPeow @ Nov 25 2007, 02:26 PM) http://www.worldcybergames.com/poll/selection2008.asp No DotA in WCG2008... what a nightmare... Thank gawd. QUOTE(Aoshi_88 @ Nov 26 2007, 09:54 AM) That's the whole problem isn't it? Why is everyone so obsessed with following the trend? Go against the trend, DARE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! Just because everyone's playing DoTA doesn't mean that you must as a gamer. There are plenty of other games out there worth YOUR attention. I find that many arguments from people that "Oh, i play b'coz my fren play" or " I don't want to feel left out" very weak. So what if your friends play DoTA? Doesn't mean you HAVE to force yourself to join. Sure, yeah...you may like the game, but you're restricting yourself! This is the main problem for most Malaysian gamers. Seconded that.Maybe we should start a chain reaction to replace DotA with another game.

Did it ever occur to you that other people just might not have the same taste as you ? Games are meant to be enjoyed , do you expect us to spend our time playing something we don't enjoy just because its new ? Did you really think that Dota would remain successful as long as it did if we really didn't enjoy it , that we play it 'just because our friends are playing as well' ? If you believe all that , I have a pot of gold just sitting at the end of the rainbow to sell you . I do believe people play DotA is because of 'just because our friends are playing as well'.Thats just human nature.People dont want to feel left out in their circle of friends,even if they dont really enjoy.I have friends who are like that.Play because of their friends are playing even of they hate playing games.I dont do that and rather be a lone gunner in other games than playing that repitative boring map. The main reason i hate DotA is because most players(i prefer to call them dotards) are immature.They always love to scream as if they lost their limbs when they lose or beat up someone because they are a noob.That make me even sick when they dont teach noobs how to play and being so selfish while playing. QUOTE Sigh I have always KNOWN that others will not have the same tastes as me. Main reason why i hate DoTA is because people WON'T EVEN TRY something else even when presented with the chance. It's always DoTA, DoTA, DoTA. Anything other than DoTA is crap, DoTA ROX, your games suck cock etc etc etc. Thats just another reason i hate them.These people just dont want to try anything new,especially real RTS. QUOTE(Heemee @ Nov 29 2007, 11:26 AM) About being imba , they could use the version being used in tourneys worldwide , 6.48b atm , pretty sure gamers would have no complaints . Or maybe just add it for a year to see how things go . There was already so much controversy at this years WCG finals , i doubt things could get any worst lol .Meh maybe instead of writing in to the WCG commitee we should be writing to Blizzard instead . But hey , even if it doesn't make it , im not gonna knock on other games just because my game didn't make it DotA will never be balanced.Blizzard took years to balance Starcraft and it only have 3 race.DotA has so many heroes and hero combination.Whats more,balancing is not an easy task,especially a game with lots of unique sides. I doubt that Ice Frog can balance it. Im not blaming the game,it's the community thats makes me hate this game.
