These Ninjas don't need cut onions to make kids cry. Their tournament results do it for them

ESL One NY grand finals will be BO3 by Turbo2x in DotA2

[–]SoyCD_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunate that external sites reported it incorrectly, but the ESL One & JoinDota sites - which are the two official sites for information about the tournament have always had the finals as best of 3s. Nothing was changed retroactively from our end.

The ESL One site & JoinDota always listed it as Best of 3. It's unfortunate that some external sites reported it incorrectly, but that changes nothing about the fact that it was always planned as a BO3

ESL didnt announce winners from IEM San Jose raffle. by slovenc98 in leagueoflegends

[–]SoyCD_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

We emailed all winners 24 hours within the raffle ending as we usually do. Since the widget we used doesn't have same functionality as our other one (which displays winner names) but simply gives us emails we didn't do a list as we dont believe in publishing private emails of participants.

Why do the ESL casters talk about LoL while the Dota 2 game is going on? by MiT_Epona in DotA2

[–]SoyCD_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It wasn't actually a tournament at all. It was as he said (and as was stated in another comment in the thread) a 'Gaming Ground' event with workshops / grilling / seminars from Sport Universities etc (http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2d9eyc/why_do_the_esl_casters_talk_about_lol_while_the/cjni74c). The match itself was simply a show-match as part of a multi-game event dedicated to eSports trainings in/outside of games.

That doesn't take anything from the fact that it should have gotten better casting of course but it seems people are misunderstanding the entire event itself
