Is esport actually profitable or is it just something that companies keep trying to create for the sake of manufacturing a demand?

>Smash = hipsters

Depends on the game, but any esports thing in a new game with no background whatsoever is always manufactured by the companies. Siege should be the only exception.

TOP "100% TI WINRATE" SON

Someone please post the gif.

OG banked 25 millions with 2 TI

Okay, so they're going by the money they made from winning in the competitions. Good to know.
That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a losing battle. A lot of companies run at a loss for many years, despite certain individuals making bank, just because they keep hoping that eventually they'll have created a demand where there was none, or the market was too small before.
It's just a weird thing, personally. It seems like companies/sponsors are really banking on esport becoming as big as actual sport but I just don't see that happening.

You obviously didn't see the other team.

If this is good looking, I'm gonna make it.

In Dota 2's case the prize pool is entirely funded by players via compendium/etc purchases.
Valve is almost certainly getting a huge profit margin.

Why does this look like some new Disney Channel-exclusive show?

Nope. Topson was ugly as fuck, only after winning ti for the first time did go to an aesthetician and shit of his own volition cause he was self conscious about his acne.

Secret will never, ever win TI will they.

El Presidente...

He needs to retire and Secret needs to disband.
He won TI1 as a support (captained by Artstyle), and has tried and failed to craft a winning team for literally every TI since. Secret exists almost purely to cannibalize other teams because Puppey/Cyborgmatt are desperate. It needs to stop.

Oh and fuck EG too.
Secret and EG are by far the two biggest cancers on competitive Dota. NA Dota needs a reset.

Should've spent more time practicing than picking up qts.

Is there any other game that allows you to watch ingame, make predictions and control the shit yourself with the option of putting in casters for audio?

Because that shit is the best in dota 2.

Should have been a 3-0 sweep from OG but their carry didn't buy back even tho he had the gold lmfao

They lost the first game of their three last series on purpose to give their opponent false hope.

It's not AS lucrative as you might believe, the amount of money involved to fly all the teams and their necessary staff and provide food + accommodation for 10+ days for each person, not to mention rent an arena for that time, AND production costs, their profit margins are much much narrower than you'd imagine.
TI is the only tournament of theirs they make money on. Most majors are losses which is also why they just let other orgs host them rather than run majors/minors themselves like they used to.

>Topson's pugna
He made Pugna look broken OP.

I don't think so.
"Old Valve" still shines in their games. I haven't played Dota2 in years but I still like to watch the tournaments and as you said, the functionality for users is also great

No, OG's strat is more about being unpredictable retards instead of taking advantage of the metaflavour

Attached: 1537142547197.jpg (199x200, 14K)

I'm not saying that all the profits from the battlepass minus the prize money is Valve's profit, it obviously has production value, but they probably make good money from it. And even little money is better than none. Look at Blizzard, they still haven't figured out how to do it even though they had the biggest advantage of all publishers/developers. I think it might have something to do with hiring sports producers who have no idea about videogames.
Esports aren't regular sports, so they shouldn't try to make it look like sports
Majors being just honeypots isn't a secret.

>They're the shitpost kings without even crossing the line that Valve considers to get into trashtalking territory. Goddamn.
Valve is pretty lenient on that shit in the first place and it's not like OG trashtalk people in allchat

>Ana tips AM for that sick T1 tower kill as theyre taking the 2nd lane of racks.

is dota truly the first legit esport

>Topson spraying "losers" on the floor as he tp's out

i liked the part where jerax earthshaker blocks off rtz's route to his jungle and gets him stuck, then rtz tips him for it

Valve goes real heavy on making it like sports with the analysts and interviews, however they always brand themselves as having fun and not taking it over seriously with the constant skits, jokes and allowing talent to swear a bit and such. The profit is there but raking in a cool 90+mil from battle pass isn't as amazing once you factor in tax (esp since the majority comes from china players), the support of running the servers 24/7, helping other tournaments, and the cost of running a TI and it cuts into it way hard. I'm not going to pretend to guess the actual number, but it would be much lower.
ESL one is the only other org than can successfully make a good return on a show, and personally I believe their production is better than TI.

actually around 60% is weastern funded even this year it's only 56% chinese and it's a chinese TI

kino

Pure gold

tbf he needed a bkb before joining any fight. The problem was that once he had it he first got stunned and brought down to half hp, then activated the bkb too get one support and fucks off to the fountain while the barracks crumble.

Wait, at some point warchets profits went 100% to Blizzard? Sounds pretty stupid

That's what I mean though. All other regions combined made less than half the contributions if China was 56%. Even are 60/40 China is by far the biggest contributor.

Yah, let me guess, you think mining bitcoins is also free

yeah that's literally the case with every game no matter what it is now
they have like 3 quadrillion people, more than US and EU combined
so it's pretty impressive how much actually comes from the west

that's cause the west and whitie dominates in dota
dota is a white man's game

the chinese can keep giving us their money it's too easy

serious question here

why does everyone who plays dota seem so alpha
does that just come from playing the hardest game ever invented or what

It's the only way you can have fun.

Regardless of who you are in Dota youre going to have alot of bad games where you fucked up, your teammates will let you know and flame you to hell and back. People who stick to dota will develop thick skin, regardless if they improve or ignore the criticism.

>People who stick to dota will develop thick skin, regardless if they improve or ignore the criticism
So much this

This is pretty obvious. Attractiveness is a lot more marketable. Even average looking people can look great if you give them qualified fashion advisers and set up the pictures accordingly. That's as ordinary as it gets, it's day-to-day stuff in any offshoot of show business, such as video game streaming.

There's no point in competitive Dota anymore after this. We've already seen the very best team to play this game and any other shitstack formed into next season will inevitably choke this time next year.

How would you rate the finals from a score of ti4(lowest)-ti8(highest)?

I think it was the Pugna game vs Liquid.

>best team
Their victories were flukes, they don't count.

OG is a player owned org so all the money besides income tax actually goes to them

Yeah, and everyone else fluked into losing.

LoL has much better production value though. Some events even have concerts:

>OG wins
>the crowd has no reaction whatsoever

Why are they so soulless?

OG always saw the prime perfect opportunity to punish someone else's draft
they went late
they ended quick
they ran at you all game
they split pushed until you die from 10,000 cuts
they did literally every single strat throughout this TI and they did it only when appropriate and conducive to winning the game of dota

all in all OG played a very unique style of dota which was punish every possible mistake your enemy has made in draft and in game
it was pure perfection of current meta dota and if you're 6k mmr+ you saw it too

Considered that they're tilted to oblivion during Upper Bracket final and OG is literally untiltable, no.

since what moment exactly wasn't NA absolute garbage at video games?

OG winning back to back is the single best thing that could happen for dota
teams will go into TI without this huge weight on their shoulders trying to be tied with the best dota players of all time or to be crowned the best dota team of all time simply by winning once

now every team will know they'll never be considered the best team in the world and all this extra pressure teams and players put on themselves will melt away at TI now

I'm expecting some amazing dota next TI and since it's in stockholm this will be amazing since it'll actually have a crowd with people who have souls

Post the webm of her feet

By saying it's all about "trust" and "friendship" kinda underwhelms N0tail's knowledge and skill as a captain. The guy absolutely understands Dota and manages his team like no other.
Everyone being on the same wavelength and trusting each other is what enables n0tail to shine as a good leader.

If what I'm reading is correct Valve contributed 1.6 million then took the other 75% of the 32,716,118 contributed.

I have absolutely no idea what it costs to run an event on the scale of the International but their revenue on compendium sales alone is nearing 100 Million so I'd reckon they had some left over.

versatility, sustain and aggression are the key elements of their play. trust in their teammates is very important but besides that it's pretty clear they all have exceptional individual skill. there's a lot of practice and experience that enables that trust to actually do anything

The 34 million is the 25%
The battle pass sold like hotcake

Absolute GIGAchad

He will be put in a reeducation camp for his racist views just as TI comes around.

Renting out an entire arena for a week plus the thousands of staff needed and the cost of all the sets and catering and accommodation eats into a lot of it. TI and ESL really have been the only profitable esports tournies. Most of the others are just rich people dumbed into providing funding under the pretense the arenas sell out which they never do. Behind the scenes esports is struggling to get stability in terms of investment.

It only take me 3 months to clear acne

if valve just makes OG the face of dota and mentions how they're all multi millionaires now, well over 5 million each at the very least after taxes just from prize pools no salary or nothing

they're all amazing looking

If I went back in time 5 years and told myself the first two-time TI winner would be Notail, 7ckingmad, that ES player and a guy who plays once a year, I wouldn't believe it.

I'm 99% sure there's literally nothing you can do in this situation as AM. Not telling he's innocent, but it's clearly Bulba fault for picking fucking slowest carry imaginable against fastest TI team.

Isn't it 25% of the money people spend on compendiums etc. directly going into the prize pool? That would leave Valve with 3X the money to organize TI which is like 100 million if I'm not retarded while writing this down.

If you went back in time to claim that there will be TI finals with Carry Io, Meepo and Pugna, no one would believe you.

You’d be correct
Valve have been making mad cash from compendium and battlepass

they play only 1 strat which they borrowed from open ai tho

Getting the bkb was the right choice. Jumping into the fight without activating it was the wrong one.

What is Dendi doing now? Knew he retired but heard he came back somewhere. Probably not as good as in his golden days, but still he was fun to watch.

Insider shuffle info coming in.

SEA:

Mineski: Ragingpotato kicked, Nikobaby out (leave)

TNC: Heen leaves, team likely to stay together

Fnatic: Full disband, Abed/DJ/Jabz will stay together. Some teams have been seen talking to Abed but it's unlikely he will leave.

CN:

LGD: xNova kicked, Ame possibly traded for Paparazzi. New 5 rumoured to be dark.

RNG: Setsu kicked, new Mid will be the "Kobe of Chinese mids", possibly Sccc. LaNM wanted to rebuild entire team around him and Monet so Flyby and ah fu may also be traded/kicked.

Keen: Full disband. Rumours that Kaka and old chicken may start a new team with Fenrir as either Captain or coach.

Vici Gaming: Possible Ame > Paparazzi trade.

Newbee: Will pick up new Chinese Team

NA/SA:

Infamous: Will likely stay together.

Newbee: Aui_2k will return to playing as Pos 4 but rumoured to be on a new team with Fly. PLD out for EG.

EG: Fly confirmed kicked. Zai confirmed Pos 3. PLD rumoured to be new Pos 5 with s4 in position 2. EG's COO Philip Aram rumoured to have bought all of Sumail's stakes in EG and Sumail will be leaving the org.

CIS:

NAVI: Blizzy & Zayac out. 9Pasha in, Pos 4 uncertain. Vanskor rumoured.

VP: Ramzes & 9pasha out. Illidan & Afterlife in. Noone out (unconfirmed) for G.

EU:

Team Secret: Ramzes confirmed to replace Nisha. Matumbaman semi-confirmed to replace Midone but Midone is definitely out. Mind_Control rumoured to replace Zai as Pos 3 but Zai is confirmed to have left for EG.

NiP: Disbanded. Org is looking to create a new team and is rumoured to be in talks with Fly/Aui

Team Liquid: Mind_Control is OUT. RUMOURS that SumaiL will join for the upcoming DPC season and w33ha/Miracle/SumaiL will rotate between 1/2/3 depending on draft.

Alliance: Qojva kicked for FATA. Rest of team will likely stay together.

Chaos: Disbanded. Misery/Khezu is building a new team. MSS to potentially join

>I got into top 3 business course in my country and here I am 6 years later, with no job.
you can just leave out the dota part cause that had no impact

>Zai is confirmed to have left for EG
God fucking damn it. If this shit is true I'm going to lose it.

where did he go? :c

Said he would stop playing until matchmaking was fixed.

They talked about having good chemistry the whole year and they basically won the DPC season. TI9 performance was not what would you expect out of secret, but come on, how is top4 so bad you have to shuffle like this.

Spolier alert: captains don't randomly pick heroes without telling their team.
Fly's doing the drafting along with Bulba and it's likely that Artour strongly approved (maybe even asked for) Antimage. Thinking that Bulba forced any of EG's players to play their shitty fucking draft (Sumail POTM lmoa) is delusional at best.

RTZ is just a washed up piece of shit like EE is. Relics of old dota.

The only difference is that RTZ is a brand. So teams keep him on for his merch sales.

Their org stole all of the TI winnings, players left and were punished by ACE for breaking contract

Do you have any info SKT1 team.
I want to laugh when they have to import players

Don't forget that Wings org invested in LoL and lost all the money. And the ACE banned the players from all Dota events in China.

Yup. ACE is dead now, but the Wings players will never get justice

Chinks have a law that you can end a contract if you don't get paid for more then 30 days. but the ACE has their own set of rules for joined and leaving teams and they didn't want Wings to set a precedent how you can behave. So under chink law the players did everything right, it's just ACE being cunts.

It was a damn shame since they were breaking the mold of Chinese DOTA but with them gone all other Chinese teams continue to play the same regardless of the meta.

They choked hard against Liquid. Game 1 FY was insane though, wish we got to see more.

Especially since LGD banned Alch/Chen every game against Liquid, they learned. They just choked game 2 so hard they threw on draft in game 3. I think they should have just banned the Alch and kept Chen in and dealt with it.

I still cant believe they memedrafted themselves out of the tournament. If there is any justice, 357 is being crucified for picking Huskar and Shadow Fiend in a fucking lower bracket finals when neither fit the meta at all.

Crush is such a chad, I miss seeing him play

The Huskar pick was fine they just choked the execution. Got greedy and lost the lead

He's playing again, at least in locals

Reminder that OG lost to openAI. Twice.

Yeah you can see where they fucked up in game 2, mostly trying to all in for a single line of barracks while they had like 10k gold advantage. That is both on Chalice for going in too hard, and Somnus for not using BKB and basically getting everyone else killed. Chalice also went Aghs in Game 1, but in Game 2 he decided to get Shivas first. Plus not getting the top shrine, THE Roshan shrine, was dumb as fuck. Basically they choked.

The average Dota player is retarded and feels the need to constantly follow the "meta". Gyrocopter with Diffusal isn't all that meta so people never even look at the item, despite it making perfect sense on OG v Liquid's game because every hero on Liquid was mana-dependent aside from Windranger somewhat, and being able to burn through that and get some extra damage on top gave them far more of an advantage than just building raw damage items on the Gyro like most people do. The reason OG are now twice-winners is precisely because they don't really follow a meta so strictly and they are capable of adapting to situations on the spot. Most teams can't. This is why you see people saying you can't draft against OG. Their hero pool is so wide and every other team only practices with a few heroes.
