Five Second Pose Wrote:Dota 1 was big, but I don't know if that was in China or Korea.Dota1 wasn't big in korea in itself, but there was a clone of dota1 which was very similar called Chaos.
It is VERY VERY likely that fans of chaos are very easily drawn to dota2 since fans of chaos already know about dota1.
So saying the hype has no substance is a bit silly seeing there is a playerbase that is familiar with one of the many dota clones that existed in WC3, it just so happens that in korea chaos got larger than regular dota1.
Regardless, Nexon is big in korea and koreans are quite a band-waggoning folk when it comes to games. I want to see what it looks like in half a year before i create an actual opinion about this.
