@ooak I played CS too, like 15 years ago Counter Strike. was a lot into that game. at that age, the only game we played was CS and Starscraft :)) but then when other shooting games got released, i tried to play but those can never outweight CS
Dota2 is different from LOL, though the basic strat/gameplays of these 2 games are very much the same. they are like Marvel vs DC. but for me dota2 is way better and appearantly it has the biggest prize pool, equal the rest of esports all combined together
Asian scene is way behind in many terms, we are not that professionally organized, except for China and Korea. but i do hope that players from Vietnam, Fillipine, HongKong and Malay can make it big too
I'm a big fan of Starcraft as well.
if you love MOBA and RTS games you might want to follow project "Atlas" by artillery.com
They are in closed beta so no open data right now but I can tell you it's going to be 3v3 MOBA style game but with some mechanics from RTS. Day9 is involved with it.
I'm more into watching games nowadays. my day gets a lot of down time and also i stare at screens mostly every day, my eyes can't play games anymore at home
