I was reading the New York Times yesterday (for those of you who don't know, that's an important American newspaper), and DotA 2 shows up in a pretty prominent place. The article mentioned the International, and other such events, including how much money could be won in each. I just thought it was cool that DotA got into a national newspaper. Discuss.

Wow, its great. I wish ESport will be actual Sport, and after that, games games all day (yo dad u cant do **** to dis). Would be great if the events held are filmed to live television. Watching TI at home will be very fun. And could open new ways to carriers, and remove the stereotypes of video games. Seriously, i cant stand anymore mainstream stereotypes.

In Malaysia's Star paper they didn't even mention Ti4 but they added a small section for a local competition =3=. What's even worse is we have so many good players here.
