Valve make the best trailers. But the blatant Blizzard-esque style leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I know Valve are within their rights to make this game, but I thought they’d show a bit more class and strive to differentiate the art. Some of this stuff looks as though it was ripped straight out of Warcraft.

Regardless, I’m excited.

I mean, it’s not even *slightly* subtle. It’s completely blatant.

Kinda wish Blizzard won the copyright case, might have forced them to be slightly original.

Is Demigod still played? That was about the only Dota clone I liked.

Personally I like the art of the game, don’t know why people are bitching about it. Tbh I don’t think they could’ve done much better. It’s a perfect mix between a slightly cartoonish style and photorealistic.

Anyways, looking forward to this.

Do any of you guys know when the times are for the tournament? I kind of wanna watch it :P
