taken from there

Most of u already know what the World Cyber Games is, for the other people its easy to understand, WCG is simply the biggest Esports event in the world.
http://www.worldcybergames.com/6th/inside/...C_structure.asp
If i say big, i mean BIG, about 1 300 000 participants from 75 countries have fought in 12 titels for honor, glory, money and of course busty-Korean-twin-groupies this year.

Imo 12 games are not enough and i would like to see one more game next year, DOTA for example... But dota is not even in the official vote, how can we became a part of this mega esports event? Well we will need to prove us as a strong and LAAARGE community and show the WCG bosses that our game and our community is worth it to be part of this amazing tournament. For that all of u will need to spend some time to write a mail to ICM, the company behind the WCG.

If we want to see DOTA at next year wcg we will need to fight for this lovely game, cuz there is no big gaming company behind dota like Valve, Blizzard or EA, the ONE AND ONLY thing what makes DOTA interesting for the ICM is how big our community is and how many people gonna see the commercials of the WCG-main sponsors. And cmon look at this forum? More then 500 000 members(slow as hell^^), WE ARE BIG FFS! Now u just need to spend 5 mins to write an mail @ ICM, not that difficult isn it?
Visit http://www.worldcybergames.com/icm/eng_contact.html go to WCG Tournament and tell WCG why we are the best and should be a part of the World Cyber Games. And explain why we should be nominated afterwards and take part in the already running vote.

We need to be a part of the WCG main vote, cuz there is no USA WCG and we have no opportunity to be a part of the Europe WCG, cuz there are no votings.
WE NEED to fight for the WCG main event.



Besides nice games and replays to watch everyone of YOU will have the chance to participate in the national qualifiers with your clan or funteam. The finals will be played offline that makes the games more exciting and will show US a new way to bring the gameplay to perfection. For example a hook guess how amazing it comes when you can evade it in the last millisecond. And that is possible when you play LAN and what is better than playing on a LAN and taking part in a big tournament?

And one big point for the World Cyber Games is that every country can have some spots and smaller countries with not so well-known Clans which have not suche a big chance to take in the Playoffs in MyM Prime Defending for example can take part in the LAN-finals of the WCG.

INNOVATIVE GAMEPLAY
Dota is something realy unique if it comes to gameplay, it's a BIG plus nowdays, cuz the most games are nearly the same except better graphics.


THE WILL TO FIGHT FOR THE WCG and HUGE SELFCONFIDENTCE
Tell the wcg to put us to the RTS rooster( no one rly knows what dota is rts? Rpg? Fps?), against all the blizzart rts games(wc3 scbw sc2) and tell them that we are self confindent enough to fight them

The truth is, there are always 4 rts games at the WCG and we just need to beat one of the underground 2000ppl community rts games(cc3 aoe coh wic ee), to make it short, some good games but without community, no opponents for DOTA.

Why should dota be a part of the World Cyber Games 2008.




<Virtus|NS> DotA become mega popular game now, just look at mym.pride #8 cup. 350+ teams signed up and its just w/o prizes, rly 400 dollars for 1st place its nothing So im rly dont understand, why dota still not at WCG, and not even in voting of WCG 2008, or all think games like Tetris more popular, intresting and cybersportive then DotA? ~~

<SK|Loda> Well I'd say dota should be a part of the world cyber games because of its widespread community and gamers. There are soooo many dota players out there today, if it would get announced to participate in wcg 08 people would for real see it as a real esport!

<SK|Drayich> "DotA is a huge game now, everyone knows about it and the competetive scene have also gone big, just a few steps behind the other big games and WCG is definently a valid next step"

lets everyone together help promote dota to more competetive gaming!!!

4 well known official wcg maps ? hello before it became "well known offical wcg map" what was it? before cs was an official game?

and 2nd its not because of variety of maps ..one of the reason because of game duration , average duration of offical games are around 15-30minutes per game whereas dota average games are as long as 60minutes and it can go up to 2 hours , which is why icefrog removed the regeneration ability of tower so that the game woudlt drag (but now a game can drag very long because of crow)

and another issue with dota is the balance issue, blizzard spokesman before has mentioned that what makes it hard for dota to be an offical game is because of balance issue there are many heroes with different ability on both sides so it will be very hard to balance the game (during that time normal pick was the offical competitive mode but that is no longer a problem anymore since now all competitive dota is using -ap(xl) draft mode)

and about inability to tolerate noob.

unlike cs u only have to wait for at most 4minutes for next round but for dota once you have a noob teammate youre stuck with him until the game ends and the noob player can affect the game alot which can easily make those hot tempered guy angry lol .but as far the competitive gaming scene this is not really a problem

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.

-----------------------------
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."
