OK and what would be the length of the video ?? Any idea about that ??

It will be a feature length documentary.

From the link :

Free to Play is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament. In recent years, e-sports has surged in popularity to become one of the most widely-practiced forms of competitive sport today. A million dollar tournament changed the landscape of the gaming world and for those elite players at the top of their craft, nothing would ever be the same again. Produced by Valve, the film documents the challenges and sacrifices required of players to compete at the highest level.

I am thinking of arranging a tournament amongst tdf players. If we get atleast 4-5 team(25-30 player), we can arrange a tourney. Can we make it?

Problem will be creating team for this. As we know almost every one, so forming teams will be difficult. Any idea on this? I was thinking about lottery, but team balancing will be an issue.

 

[Piyush]

Great idea. First lets see how many are interested and will turn up during the matches. We now do have enough players, no?

 

[arijitsinha]

I think so, I am sure number of players are 15+. And to make sure of the attendance, there will be entry fee. So that no one ditches at last minute. And the total amount of fee will go to prize pool. Fee will be a rare item or an uncommon , that can be decided later.

Btw that siggy Arijit, it was from Dendi right?

Yup. awesome quote , Very true. Much needed to include his name.

 

[ThinkNoDigit]

I'm not sure if this one covers all The International events or just TI3

AFAIK its only related to TI 2012.

 

[Piyush]

AFAIK its only related to TI 2012.

But for TI2, there was already a documentary made by Valve no?

This is it, and this documentary have been already shown to the TI3 attendee. Probably they will add or remove some content.

This means no TI3 content. Somewhat its a downer. But...lets see.

Anyone here running Dota 2 on Linux? I am trying to run Dota 2 from Linux Mint since my Windows ATi drivers are giving me some trouble, however, when I run I get the error "Please install S3TC Texture Support". What else do I need to install?

Nevermind, I fixed it.

I used "force_s3tc_enable=true steam" to start Steam and then it ran. Lot of performance issues under Linux though.

True, but it is getting better with updates. The only significant issue I get is too much time spent on loading screen (around 30-60s) .Also ATI under linux is known to give a little trouble with steam games.

I guess he bought BoT near the end of the game and forgot to sell tranquils.

Not last minutute but didn't sold it as I wasn't buying BKB because of less money and so thought that better to keep it till I get the money but game ended before the money arrived.

Yeah I know but didn't had that money to something else so kept it.

More or less.
