"Paying people that kind of money for sports was wrong to begin with."
That's just your opinion dude, and most people disagree.
So unless you manage to make your own totalitarian government banning professional competitions you won't go anywhere.

Say a man enjoyed doing math and stuff like that, he did it in his spare time ect ect...Are you saying that when he takes a job that he enjoys, in something like accounting that he should not be payed because he enjoys it
Paying people that kind of money for sports was wrong to begin with. Two wrongs don't make a right. There are GOING to be world-champion dota players whether you pay them to be or not. A prize is fine but a lifetime salary is toooooo damn much. That's all.
[url=#user_comment_349916]@Khaz[/url]: So do sport. Do football and basketball inventors invent those games for the sake of money? People want to see skilled people dueling each others in any kind of arena and willing to pay big bucks and fanboying over them.
[url=#user_comment_349916]@Khaz[/url]: They're getting paid that much because they are entertaining us. It doesnt matter if you think that what they're doing isnt worth paying for but obviously millions believe that it is worth paying to see these guys play Dota 2 or e-sports in general.
Re: Money. You're paying people to play a game that they were going to play anyway. Look at it in terms of commodities. You're paying them to provide you with aaabsolutely nothing.
Why should ANYBODY get paid a lifetime salary for contributing NOTHING USEFUL? GAMES ARE FOR FUN. NOT CAREERS.

That's it, fuck E-Sports. Starcrumpet II, Dota 2, I'm done.

@The14 Troll DETECTED! Retreating from mission. To the all units: Do not feed the Troll, I repeat do NOT feed the Troll!
God damn, so glad I have the LoL pro scene. Where they have a legit world championship instead of one tourney which is only notable for the shamelessly hyper-inflated prize pool.

SingSing said in one of his recent recorded streams that he was kicked, just FYI
[url=#user_comment_349903]@Vinven[/url]: That only happened for the first 25 comics - up until the first non-TF2 story arc (the zerg girl arc).
That's when I started reading the comic and I've been complaining about the lack of zerg girls ever since.
[url=#user_comment_349882]@cramps[/url]: Yea, they're the best, but the best usually only means slightly better than a good team of friends that plays for fun. You just have to deal with that fact.

@Khaz[/url]: That's just how the world is, people in the spotlight have always been paid more, you'll just have to deal with it.
WHAT? Singu left Clown9?
Excuse me while I set fire to my C9 underwear.

I'm far more forgiving of comics that I can't relate to if they have Anne-marie fanservice in them.

[url=#user_comment_349880]@Khaz[/url]: They're not better than some other team, they're the best. Why are you even trying to put it that way? And mostly luck? Are you trolling?
It's like you think you could beat a proffesional poker player 3 times out of 10 at least since it's mostly luck...
Meanwhile these "professional gamers" continue to get paid more and more and more, for what? Playing dota only marginally better than some other team, mostly getting lucky?
It's bad enough we already pay people off for a lifetime just to play sports games well, now videogames too?
[url=#user_comment_349873]@anothga[/url]: Jane is the troublemaker, she is the easiest to write about. Morgan is the straight (wo)man so she has a place in many jokes. Anne and Alek are a bit more harder to write so they get less spotlight.
I just love how cutely Jo can draw his characters.

Yay, more Anne Marie! She's probably my favorite of the new characters, and seems to show up the least frequently. Engie needs a way to come back too though, I really liked her character as well.
