Otra vez, las apuestas deportivas arruinando el ecosistema competitivo. Hasta cuando? Hasta cuando va a ser legal? Cuanta gente tiene que perder para que unos pocos se llenen los bolsillos? Prohibamos las apuestas, revivamos el deporte.
@Paaulinapazcg to fix this, imo LATAM must be integrated into the Major circuits, just like CS is doing with the upcoming Buenos Aires Major and previous events in Rio. Valve knows the potential of SA&SEA, but in Dota - it feels like they’ve already kinda given up the fight with us
@Paaulinapazcg I think building an EU-style SA Dota ecosystem is a romantic dream, but so far, economically impossible.
9z is a rare exception built on Frankkaster’s personal wealth and years of operating at a loss—nobody in LATAM has the financial backbone for that. Low regional CPMs mean 1/3
@Paaulinapazcg views don't pay the bills, and Valve's circuit forces players to chase EU scrims to avoid competitive stagnation. Moving to Europe isn't a status symbol...given LATAM's economy and short player careers, it's the only rational choice for them. (2/3)
