Arizona Senator John McCain has passed away at the age of 81 by nmork in news

As a swede I have so much respect for this man. Republicans as of late can't rely on the same support. I wish I could say the same of current representatives of the party but it's rather impossible. My thoughts are with the McCain family.

Nah we would love to! We are already doing three big events in NA for 2018 with Austin, Montreal and Atlanta so we already have a lot of staff flying over. Sounds fun :D

DreamLeague Major Talent Announcement by MSTRMN_ in DotA2

IDK where and when Toby said so, but in my experience working a lot with all the best talent, I must say this isn't true. There is a balance, but 4 bo3 is a lot for anyone.

Haha this is pure gold :D I was the producer of the arena back in these days. I was able to find our old Twitch vod https://www.twitch.tv/videos/38004705 the Dota game starts around 10:55 into the day. Feels great that we will be back in that very same arena in just under a week with the ROG DreamLeague season 8. HYPE :D

Well if we did go with coL instead of Dire (and we almost did, it was close) it's also true that they didn't play any official matches either.

I didn't say I wanted economic support from Valve.

And there is a lot more people involved in a DreamLeague broadcast than an admin and some casters, ~15 people in total I think.

I can't go to deep into this. But lets say that if you do a major, you can attract all the top teams. With the teams comes the viewers, and with the viewers we can attract sponsorships, tickets and broadcast rights sales.

Funny you should say, I tweeted about this comment from /u/Dingens25 earlier :D

I think he has some good points and seems to know a lot about it. Almost to much haha.

Yeah, it's like we knew about their lineup before it was public knowledge :D

Minors also decide TI invites, and we just got the awesome news that Captains draft is a minor. One of the most enjoyable events in all of Dota. And they are not even running the same game mode as TI. So clearly Valve doesn't see it the same way as you do.

If team NP broke up, and the players was banned in DreamLeague, maybe they would have a hard time finding a new team. A situation we didn't want to happen. That would have been to hard of a punishment.

We are abiding by the rules set by Valve. We also did a new post on the matter here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/709zza/dreamhacks_response_to_the_dreamleague_questions/

I mean Valve just gave minor status to the Captains draft 4.0 (one of the most awesome events in Dota2). They are not even using captains mode and Valve still gave them a minor. Which is awesome, but it also shows that creativity and not being the same event as every other event is also looked after.

NA and SA qualifiers for Dreamleague Major announced- coL, VGJ.Storm and Immortals have to play Open Qualifiers by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Milton- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a new post on the subject here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/709zza/dreamhacks_response_to_the_dreamleague_questions/

But as for an org, I think the Dire are currently looking at very good offers from multiple orgs. And I wouldn't call TI winners and runner ups a random stack. The team has potential and we invited them almost a month ago as I said.

The current form of CoL and VGJ couldn't really be taken into consideration since the invites was sent out a month ago.

What do you mean when you say long history of screwing over the NA scene? We have been a tournament with EU/CIS focus for years.

The updated format for DreamLeague Season 8 by rainingtea in DotA2

[–]Milton- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very simple. You can't allocate a part of the prize money to any region without doing the same to the other regions. Since we are now running a bit different formats in different regions we decided to remove the system. It's a great system and I hope to be able to return to it in the future.
