Milkfat, captain of Team MILK, was at the E3 Expo back in June. He was caught up by a reporter from the TBS show Lopez Tonight.

In a stereotype nerd guessing contest, contestants were to guess if Milkfat ever named a pet after a gaming character.

- “No, but I named my niece after one,” says Milkfat. “My favorite character in DotA is Luna Moonfang, and so they were trying to think of names for the baby and so since he’s Mexican and she’s Hawaiian, I was like ‘Oh, why don’t you name the baby Luna, you know after the moon’, but little they know is that I was actually naming it after my favorite character.”

George Lopez, quick at jumping on the stereotype bandwagon, made a joke about the MILK player’s nickname.

- “Milkfat is a perfect name for this dude, chances of getting a date – 2 percent,” said Lopez.

HoN v LoL v DotA

So why is League of Legends surpassing Heroes of Newerth as a replacement of DotA? It’s been widely criticized for it’s messy game design, it’s stupid japanophile graphics and overall just being a watered down content version of DotA that has totally been removed from the AoS style of game, which may not totally be a bad thing.

Could it be that LoL has Pendragon, a mastermind of a businessman that rivals even Hunter_ without the shadiness? I mean he still has the TDA forums up & running even though TDA exists no more but it makes him so much moolah it’s not funny at all.  Does this have something to do with the $100,000 Season 1 prize money? The fact that it, for the moment at least, is Free to play? Another huge lure from the $$$ costing HoN?  Lastly this impressive Season 1 trailer is so much eye candy but as a lot of people have pointed out, they are upset that Riot Games have spent time on making a video to attract new players as opposed to updating new content to keep the already playerbase.

Or is it that S2 games still has major issues with balancing? I mean we still have the same 5 heroes being picked/banned in EVERY competitive game and it seems you either ban or pick those heroes or your doom is neigh.  Or it’s somewhat unstable servers? It’s been widely noted that the USW servers are horrendous even for some USW players, spiking from 200 to upwards of 800ms ping in a single match.  Now don’t get me wrong, the gaming industry is a business but it does seem like S2 gaming is just a money grabbing scheme over and over.  First of all the price to buy a HoN account is $30, to buy a sub-account (or AKA or Alternative account) is $20 and to reset your stats is another $20.  That’s right people if you get shit on early in your HoN career and don’t want to shell out $20 to have another chance at people not kicking you from every game then you are pretty much S-C-R-E-W-E-D.  What’s more they this past weekend let all the smurfing return for a one time weekend only (for now at least).  All old pre-retail accounts were once again active and allowed to play to test HoN, why? So that players who didn’t pay will hopefully be enticed to buy HoN.

And what of DotA?  The competitive scene has somewhat recently lost one of it’s most prominent names for ages to come, Merlini.  New faces are emerging from Asia and the European teams are starting to pale in comparison of teamwork and skill.  What this spells for DotA tournaments is yet to be seen but thus far they are holding strong.  DotAcast I have to say is being run by a bunch of shmucks who throw out swear words like candy, very professional for what is suppose to be a very prominent e-Sports media company. And what of a new version? The versions take an absurdly long time to come out unless it’s a quick fix to a bug (usually resulting in a .b/.c version etc.)  I mean I know firsthand how stupid the WC3 editor is but with rumors swirling of DotA 2.0 being worked on one question remains, is it time for Icefrog to hand over the reigns of DotA to someone who can focus 100% on WC3′s DotA?

Which brings me to DotA 2.0, not much news has surfaced since my last rant although  there have been questions of release dates in which the president has stated “soon but we are not 100% set on a date”.  Yeah OK you might as well have said fuck you we’ll release it when we want to.  Perhaps the suggestions that DotA 2.0 is not Valve’s #1 project as some people had suggested and due to E3, I think we can all confirm that a slight bit.  So again the usual questions arise, What is valve doing, what is icefrog doing, when will it be released, why am i a fat ugly pre-pubesc– oops that ones for Dr Phil.   As of right now all I can tell you for sure is that … well nothing since LITERALLY no new news has arised since my last rant, either Valve is keeping a tight tight lid on things or there literally is nothing new to say.

AND AS ALWAYS

Dota can’t fend off newcomers Hon and Lol anymore, who are holding pace traffic-wise with the original.  Can Dota hold onto its hardcore player base with continued map updates that add new heroes and items, or will it fade into oblivion as new games like Starcraft 2 Beta claim their chunk of the market?  League of Legends has been growing rapidly in recent months, likely due in part to its massive advertising spree.  Will Heroes of Newerth get a big boost when it goes into open beta?  Only time will tell, as the popularity contest continues!

First of all these games are fucking AOS or Aeon of Strife based on the ORIGINAL game type that originated in Starcraft & not some shitty Multiple Online Battle Arena or MOBA, why? Cause MOBA sounds like some stupid ass group that is against some retarded cause which no one but a few try to enforce, OH WAIT THATS WHAT IT ALREADY IS.

DOTA (Defense of the Ancients)

Like pac-man, tetris, mario world & others, the classic version will always stick around regardless of what some shitty ass company tries to rip-off of it.  Why?  It’s been proven & tested to be balanced to a certain degree, moreso then it’s followers.  It has the originality and the benefit of the doubt of being original.  Why would you play a game that gives you eye candy BUT copies & pastes everything its predecessors do?  Is the eye candy worth $30? Are you not fucking content to playing the game without flashy icons going off & paying money for that or are you that thickminded & drawn into their stupid plan to take your money you mindless twit.  DOTA for all it’s flaws, which at the moment is probably that it takes so long to release a new version unless a bug is found, and the limitations of WAR3 Generator, has been arguably a breakthrough game of it’s kind with literally 80% of the WAR3 playerbase playing DOTA over the regular games provided.

HoN (Heroes of Newerth)

There’s talk in the beta of DOTA to make Dark Seer’s wall called “Wall of Newerth” and to make the description “Copies and pastes everything that passes through it”.  Why? It’s true.  Don’t even fucking try to defend it.  Every minuscule change that DOTA has done, HoN has followed suit.  So much for cutting edge & new & improved content eh?  I will admit they have introduced a few things that DOTA has yet to tread on, but they have done so WITHOUT looking at the balance issues, why the fuck do you call it an “orb effect” when all of the orb effects can work on ONE hero you dolts?  A hero comes out and everyone picks it, there’s a reason in HoN for why that hero utterly rapes, HELLOOOO BALANCE.  I mean do they just throw shit out there & expect it to be balanced without thoroughly thinking things through? BTW how’s that for alliteration.  There’s no reason for a new hero to go 30-0 on a pub who has a KDR of 0.43 & a W:L ratio of 0.539%.  That’s just fucking dumb, and it’s not that the other team is retarded, it’s just that the hero is retardedly overpowered.  So until HoN shows some balance, and some ACTUAL  beta testing for balance, and show some originality instead of being the copy/paste king it will always be overriden by DOTA except for kids who think they are on the “new & exciting cutting-edge gaming” bandwagon.

LoL (League of Legends)

The cute & “rpg” style of DOTA, whatever the fuck that means.  Made by riot games this release has been anything but a riot.  Pretty much it sucks shit IMHO.  It’s “cutsy” style of animation reminds me of the japanese depicting all of its anime with the >_<” and ^^ and all its fucking idiocy. I literally want to puke playing LoL not even joking.  On top of that is the fact it’s balanced WORSE than HoN, that’s right folks.  It’s like it has it’s own fucking Konami code of rape (up up down down left right left right a b a b for those of you who don’t know, and if you don’t then you aren’t a real gamer) where pretty much the same heroes are picked each game, and if you even THINK of picking any other hero you get shit on by your teammates and flamed to no end.  Summary : except for a select few hundred who enjoy the japanime style of this game & the imbalances, NO ONE will pay for this game except for the suckers who want to try it & realize how much of a piece of shit it is.

DOTA Pt. II brought to you by Valve

So no upcoming name release, or really information but it has been brought to the gaming communities attention that Icefrog is to work with Valve to come up with a DOTA-like game.  Without the limitations that Warcraft 3 have because of it’s editor on the game & backed by a well-known company with alternative games which are hits (Team Fortress 2, CS 1.6/CS:Source, L4D/L4D2 etc.) as opposed to S2/Riot Games the potential for it’s flourishment is unparalleled.  What will happen? Time can only time

TL;DR — DOTA > HON > LoL

Hello Fellow DotA Gamers!

HunteR_ here, many of you know Tritran10 and I Have been running DXD leagues for a long time. You’ve probably heard the rumous about DXD merging with GDG and I wanted to elaborate on the details.

I wanted to let you all know the truth that has come forward in light of this situation.

First of all, I was never informed of a merge, and I was told by the staff here at GDG that tritran10 wanted to keep this very quiet. I know understand why, Tritran10 tried to steal DXD for himself by merging with GDG.

See Tritran10 and I have had a 50/50 partnership for a very long time. I’ve paid countless amounts of money on the server, ventrilos, and various operations of the league. I’ve connected Tritran with DotA pioneers like IHCS Lego to help build our bots. I’ve done countless years of work to maintain DXD and grow it to the size it has become today, I’ve always incited that DXD was a great place for DotA players to come and enjoy a good game with good accountability.

In the past Year, Tritran and I have grown some fundamental differences upon how a league should maintain itself.

A couple days ago, all the bots that have been hosted on my server were removed, and so were my Garena bots for DXDin (which were worthless for him to steal since they’re compiled and not source code).

I was contacted by DXD’s admins and staff who couldn’t believe tritran was backing out on our partnership.

Respected DXD Staff like Deestylistic came to me alerting me of signs that there might be something going on that is shady. At first I did not believe it, I gave tritran the benefit of the doubt and even supported a merge that I had no idea about.

Tritran tried to sell out DXD and merge into GDG.

I know the leader of GDG personaly, Lethal and I were once working together on Gamebend before he moved to Italy. I had not learned of his return, and as most of you know my activity on Battle.net is very low because of teh Garena Leagues DXDin/DXDi.

Low and behold the owner of GDG, LEthal, was told by tritran that if the DXD staff didn’t want to go with the decision that it didn’t matter because he owns DXD and they will do what he says.

Now many of you who were staff in DXD can remember the random and unwarranted Staff Demotions and Promotions.

Lethal had asked Tritran where I was for this merger meeting so we could work out details, and Tritran told him that I was not needed because I have no stake in DXD. Which is false obviously.

The DXD community is an amazing group of people, both staff and players, and I was shocked to see Tritran wanted to sell out DXD.

When I came to the meeting, Tritran told Lethal and I that he doesn’t need either of us, that DXD will be around forever with or without us, and that if DXD merged with GDG and tritran didn’t like how it was going he would leave and leave Lethal “Crying”.

The atmosphere in the merger meeting between DXD, and GDG grew very nasty and borderline hostile.

I had DXD staff tell me if we merged on these terms after tri’s speech they would leave, and Lethal told me the same was with his staff.

The discussion turned poisonous quickly.

Upon the end of these events, I wanted to talk to lethal, and tritran privately, which when we did tritran told lethal that if he tried to back out on the merge he would just “Take Over GDG’s Staff”.

Well, that got Lethal and I thinking, and many of the DXD staff, as well as Lethal and I decided maybe Tritran’s plan wasn’t the right one.

I have decided to help Lethal out, and He the same.

I am no longer going to support DXD, and I am now going to be putting my efforts into growing GDG.

I urge you all to stand up with me, and fight the tyranny that is now DXD.

If you have any principals for transparency I hope you come with us to GDG.

Global DotA Gaming as of last night is now a subsidiary of GameBend.com and we are partnering to clean up the DotA League system of corruption that has plagued DXD for many years.

I believe in the principals held by the GDG league. There is complete transparency, GDG is owned by a corporation, a registered LLC, has it’s own Paypal account, monthly statements, and will run a League that offers real prizes and holds players and staff accountable.

This is a win/win situation for both the DotA community, and GameBend.

GameBend.com will now be hosting your website and integrating the GDG Forums into the database.

This weekend you will more than likely have to re-register due to a new overhaul, and use of vBulletin over PHPBB3 for more security features and flexibility.

If you had any pride in DXD, and want to go back to what it used to be before the corruption and jokes join Lethal and myself to work towards a real league.

Solace50 and Tritran10 tried to undermine myself and use Lethal to plot the extinction of DXD.

Last night, before I discovered the secret meeting from my staff, DXD was going to become GDG.

Now the extinction of DXD is inevitable with the sour relationship between tri tran and myself.

Here we have a situation where I have given someone my ultimate trust, given my heart, soul, and monetary support to running a league and tritran attempted to steal it from me. All he did was steal the only respect I had for him.

I pledge to uphold a new standard in GDG, I will help GDG out as much as I can, and I am launching gamebend this weekend which will revolutionize the way you think about a community.

I have built many strong relationships in DXD and met many of you in real life, and I call some of you my friends.

I hope to see you stand with me and the others that hold true to the idea that we deserve more.

This weekend you will be able to goto http://GameBend.com and goto the leagues by clicking “Forums”. Right now we will continue to use the website http://globaldotagaming.com until we launch this weekend.

I hope to see you all in GDG, I know the core people that built DXD into what it is today will be there.

Thank you for your time,
