Didn't really follow EG, following Orange though somewhat, GO MALAYSIA! Sad that they face LGD first round =/ Chinese teams seem so strong this time around.
( Cut & Paste ) TL Covering Dota2 -
As of today, TeamLiquid.net will be adding Dota 2 as an official game to its site content. While TeamLiquid.net has provided resources for non-Starcraft games for some time now – forums, stream lists, calendar events, etc. – we have decided to go the additional mile for Dota 2. It will become part of our official news coverage, and it will become the third Liquipedia sub-site alongside Brood War and StarCraft II.
So, like Starcraft, Dota isn't without it's fair share of controversy.
Apparently Riot, the makers of LoL, have said to team managers "If you have a team in HoN or Dota 2, then you can't have a LoL team in our tournament."
Riot's need to buy their way into eSports is actually probably holding eSports back. I reckon it's bcause they know they have a bad game that will be overtaken by Dota, so they're trying desperately to throw money at people in an attempt to prolong their game.
Apparently since this was revealed, they have since said "Oh no, we're not doing that." But of Lo3 today Scoots said it was true, and that they are obviously revising their decision based on community feedback.
Man I can't wait till Dota 2 is released and buries LoL.

^^ Yeah heard about that, it was confirmed on Lo3 by EG's scoots, and by other ceos.
Totally dick move, but hey, what else do you expect from a company that bought it's way into mlg,esl and tried to buy dreamhack. They must be feeling really insecure, if they are going down to this.
And yeah I was reading about that LoL/DotA situation aswell, pretty funny how the representative for LoL pretty much just flat out denied it.
I'm just glad team's refused the idea rather than being bought out
