I think only six words need to be said:

Fuck you Valve.

Take my money...

"What doe does a hero truly need?" Prerendered cinematics that tell nothing about what makes this DotA clone special except that it apparently has DotA in the name apparently.

What am I missing?

That there's a tournament?

That their Q&A explains what DotA is?

...actually this looks less impressive then LoL does.

And LoL's tourney is worth 5Mil.

I'll stick with SotIS (StarCraft 2's user-made DotA clone. It was my first introduction to the MOBA genre and I've stuck with it since) and the occasional LoL. Nothing I'm seeing about DotA 2 has me clamoring to get this game, especially considering all the alternatives.

And here is where you sign up for the beta if you are interested. (http://www.dota2.com/tournaments/international/)

Since LoL is free, I can't see myself paying for this game.

I doubt it will be pay to play, all of it's competitors are F2P (okay technically you gotta buy Wc3+TFT for DOTA allstars) and valve got great success with TF2 being F2P. I will be surprised and confused if it is not F2P.

Wow people still play Dota Allstars? I figured it just died out once HoN and LoL came along, or at least due to how old Frozen Throne is.

THAT IS ALL PEOPLE PLAY ON WC3.

Kinda killed the custom game scene for me. One of the reason I got SC2.

Every site I have been to has it set at 50-60 bucks. I might pay 20, especiAlly since it is valve, but not even they get that much from me for dota

Hell yes. The original is still fun.
LoL otherwise, as that's the one my friends got into and, thus, the one I played. Back in open beta. I have no idea which I'd play now, though I have tried out the SC2 custom maps scene.
