What makes me start of this topic is that, I saw there's a guy from DotA official website asking DotA players to support DotA and help DotA to get into WCG gaming list.
Personally, I don't think it should be included in WCG gaming list for it is only a map not a game itself. It's under Warcraft III. They were just using the map editor to create DotA. Yes, I should admit that it's a Top 1 map at the moment and very interesting map. But it is still a map. Most of my friends know DotA more than knowing Standard Game - Ladder which is Warcraft III's main game. On the other hand, you can see that, most of the Cyber Cafes, well it's actually 99% gamers in Malaysia playing DotA instead of Standard Game. Yeah, I know there's Counter Strike but I excluded that game. Now, I'm talking about Warcraft III. I don't hate DotA, just....you know what? Some players buy a Warcraft Original CD just to play DotA? I tell you, you would rather buy a pirated one and install Blueserver's noob pack to play your DotA instead of wasting the money to buy Original if you don't want to play Standard Game.
I open a topic in a forum - Do You Think DotA Should Include in WCG? Yeah, same question of this post. I've read through the comment and many Standard Game players like to play DotA but they don't think DotA should be included in WCG. 1 of the main reason is that, DotA is bored to watch. You don't want to sit there and watch the players to deny, last hit and farming do you? That's boring. Furthermore, usually DotA takes around 1 hour to end the game unlike Warcraft Standard Game. Normally, Standard Game uses around 15-30 minutes and it is far more interesting to watch than DotA. I know DotA is a lot more popular than Warcraft itself and gaining more and more popularity from a lot of players throughout the world. Even in my country, I guarantee no one don't know DotA and I mean those who usually playing in Cyber Cafes but if you ask them what is Standard Game, they would say "Huh? What is that? What are you talking about?" Apparently, in Malaysia, DotA is more popular than Standard Game.
Well, actually adding DotA in WCG will not be a problem, maybe the DotA founder can buy a license from Blizzard? I don't know, there's always a way but at least get a permission from Blizzard? As I mentioned earlier, DotA is only a map that created through Warcrat Maps Editor. You are using Blizzard technologies to create a map.
So...what do you think?
