Nice esport you got there, shame if something were to happen to it.
Great article by Rob.
The allusion to how fighting games are currently being run is pretty solid.
After watching the Kiev Major hyped me up to return to Dota 2 after being out of the game for about three months. I was immediately hit by the wall of playing with a pick up group and not keeping up with the changes to the map and characters.
The thing is that’s how I got into the game in the first place. Getting over the wall and having it finally click. I became a die hard fan and don’t think that will ever go away.
