Hi everyone.... Just registered here and I wish this site all the luck!
I have been playing DotA since the 5.61B times, which I think is about 5-6 years ago (but I might be wrong). Loved the idea that one day it can become a self-standing game. I was more than happy when Icefrog announced that he and Valve would be working on such a project and I look forward to the release, which is to be expected around 2011 autumm - 2012 winter as I've read...
I really want to see the game skyrocketing in popularity and serious sponsorship as far as the pro scene goes. The game itself requires individual skill, intelligence and more importantly experience and team coordination so that one can perform well. These factors are more than enough for me to identify DotA as one of the best and most entertaining games ever created.
So I wish the best and I really look forward to the release of DotA 2!
(As for what I would like to see, I trust Icefrog on the matter and Iam not really the WOW-GRAPHICS type so I dont really care!)
