The livestream is up on the dota2 site but for some reason every time i try to start it it says "subscription stream failed" or something like that. Anyone else getting this?

It's due to start in less than 8 minutes; they're setting it up to make sure it works, etc.

why hasnt it started yet?!

has it not started?

when is gonna start

whats happening? Delay??

mhh i am from germany and its not on right?7 minuts to late???!!!!

mine has not started

im getting the same 'subscription failed' error. thoughts?

mine has not started either

yes me too

With the 'subscription failed' all i did was spam refresh :P then it worked after a few times

one time i has music and ig vs ehome at the screen but only some teasing or so

why is it just streaming team names right now?

why arent they streaming xD

working fine for me... full HD too

hey guys any idea why dota2.com stream doesn't work for me?

Omg....... thank god this site is available cause dota2.com is down
good thing this site also streams. Are there even more sites which stream?

i cant even get into the dota2.com website. It says something like, the server might had been shut down due to maintenance or something like that. And it worked for like 20 minutes ago

Ohh filipino time this one will start like an hour from now lmao!

is anyone getting more than just the team names?

is it starting yet?

still hasn't start?

not more than names

I have problem with opening dota 2 page, anyone else have the same problem, or its just me?

Live stream should start in a few mins right?

:( what the heck let's get it on already

Staying up until 4 am only for it to not start on time

I believe dota 2 site is down for most everonye, now we just play the waiting game to see if they actually play match

ig vs ehome is the onlything i see

dota 2 no chat lobby? sad

Start GOD damm it!!!!

it says : LIVE GAME IN PROGRESS in top of website

1.6 million worth of names on a screen yay!

ready set goooo?

but i dont think that they start without viwers xD

Im guessing they didn't expect so many people to come watch!!

Performance testing FAIL

It still works OK for me though. I am only able to see the team names. 15mins LATE

i have butterflies

it's working for me too but it haven't started yet!

maybe some of them ar at work or sleeping

Every time the volume on the stream goes down I think something is going to happen.

i got onbbut the game doesnt look like tis started! 1 million winning price but a fail streaming network GG

i need more wine and weed for this to be as epic as i hoped

when is it going to starttttttttttttt

they have to know that there are 5-20 million people come to watch

they scamming us hard, fixing games and stuff :)

LOL has 1.5 million players. Hon has about a fraction of that. Then there are the dota players. I hope Valve prepared to handle about a million people watching the live stream :P

=='

come on alrdy

maybe 1hr of streaming of names LOL wtf whats happening ?

10:00 GTM+2 was 20min ago START THIS!!!

ok now i have all my stream (2german and 2 english) at the same ponit with ig vs ehome

anyone know about delay or smth?

this is still "valve" time so...

I also manage to get to dota 2 page and its working fine now, but still nothing...

Come on, lets get this going :(((((((((((

XC NO START! :(

grrrrrrrr =='

Hopefully soon!

I HOPE VALVE'S SERVERS CAN HANDLE AROUND 5MIL PEOPLE WATCHING 720P !! START !! 20MINS LATE!!! YOUR FACE GODDAMMIT !! MY PIZZA IS GETTING OVER !!

if this looks like LoL or HoN or Team Fortress 2 I'm going to be so pissed.

It is now 20min past the tournament start time and still all they are streaming is the team names...

FINALLY YEYEYE

GAMES ON!!!!

YAYA ITS STARTED WOOOOT HAVE PICTURE!

it is combination of LOL HON and DOTA :DD

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

There most likely is an issue with the streaming server on dota2.com because there is probably an unexpected number of live viewers and their servers can't handle it. They might be stalling the game start so they can fix the servers on the official site so that their publicity stunt won't be a complete failure.

ALRIGHT !

it started

YEEES IT BEGINS!

Bad Caster and bad Casting quality for a 1 Million Tournament !!!

SC2 Caster(Day9, Husky, Take...) much better

Bad sound quality

is it me o the video quality sux? why are there green images

not playing anymore :( huhuh

VALVE what the hell?!?!

You knew you were going to expect BILLIONS OF PEOPLE watching!

Fix servers please!!!

Trolololo lagzzz hahahah that why league of legends stream still best =)

i expect better graphic and better server but valve make me sad now :(

da fk?

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggg

disappointing...

WHat da hell happend :S

why aint i seein anythin

why the hell does it look like LoL. What are those gay red character outlines. ffs

WTF

GAME IS PAUSED?

BOOOO technical difficulties!

HLTV server crashed

trollface.jpg

should have used some of the million dollars to fix their f***n servers. d****ss valve.

To be completely fair, I would have expected Valve to be really professional about this. There shouldn't be any sort of 'unforseen circumstances' to stall this streaming. They should've dedicated enough servers to gameplay and live stream and DODGE THIS BULLET. Guess not. :|

i want my stream back !!! T_T

technical difficulties! << WAKAKAKA

Technical Difficulties.

Damn Valve, you underestimate the sheer number of Dota players.

'WOWWW ITS COMPLETELY OVER, LOOK AT THAT BLINK, WATCH OUT THAT AVALANCHE WOOOW'

wtf

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...bad bad advertising zz

epic fail lag out wtf?

it's over?

back:)

back but tobi fell asleep

no comments?

It's back now

guys why im having lag?

srsly... it works for like... 1 min and then dies again....

Honestly, it looks a lot shitter than i though

please help me guys.. the streaming is lagging after 5-6 secs :s:(:(

Where's this commentary we're supposed to be getting?

atleast it shudnt lag :s anyone knws how to fix it?

HoN and LoL stocks up 200%

NO commentary Now

all language don't have commentary now

Commentary is down in ALL languages.

at least the chinese one should be up :((

The game looks abit wooden imo. Hasn't come "alive" graphicwise as much as I had hoped :/ Hope this will change though.

^agreed. HoN looks more polished as of the moment.

Valve will have it working just give em time. This reminds me of Naughty Dogs Uncharted 3 beta, when it was released it didn't work but they worked it out.

is it working now?

DOTA 2 SUCKS Graphics Like LoL

We are watching live, the graphics doesnt seem to be at the highest.

it's so boring without a caster...

What graphics settings do you think it is at?

lol seriously unless your retarded the graphics is very far from LOLs

medium

it's medium graphics settings

that tiny sure is greedy

seriously... don't you think they should have taken... i dunno.... and extra 50k out of the prize money to get everything right?! i mean.... they could have at LEAST had the spectator computer at a high enough spec to stream at 100% max graphics. Not a good look imho

i hate this match,no axe in it,just other stupid heroes

my stream keeps stuttering :((

i really hope they get everything right for the finals.

Valve should get more bandwidth

tidehunter looks cooler tho

I expected more from Valve, lol you wouldn't believe how much flaming about how many people's hopes were thrown off is in my forum(s) chatrooms and well, it's just lagging me real bad. Well, back to wc3 DotA for me and some other forums.

If you go back to dota don't forget:ALWAYS BLAME IT ON THE LAGG

is there any viewer left on the live stream?

stop-go-stop-go-stop-go

And I thought we were going to overshadow the LOL stream

Whatever Dude. I can tell it from the video. Even if you run that on a high Spec Computer with Highest graphic options, it will just look like LoL and suck Lame. Was expecting a lot but, this turned me off, Sigh

vacant jobs at Valve tomorrow

haha fk i wanna like that comment vacant jobs at valve looool

server crashed again

........getting sleepy as ****

valve shud rlly fix the lagg until the finals!

haha

only russia's commentary is up?

move screen plx

darn, no commentary, and bad spectater...

haaaaaaaa wtf we dont care about the fountain

LOL is the cameraman sure is taking a long shit.

not the courrier!

need to switch commentary

wow only won due to respawning so gay

ok over now xD bad game not bad match but i do nor realy like dota2 i think i will play dota allstars

think ur weird if u continue playing dota 1....this is some amazing graphics that dota 2 has....looks awesome game

It's good to know the good ole Dota community is with us.

VALVE I AM DISAPOINT

tough it looks awsome in comparison to dota 1, they fucked up real bad with the whole life stream big tournament thingy ect

The goal is to make sure that people with older computers and the PCs at LAN centers will be able to support the game, while also allowing for newer computers to scale well.

which part u do not understand ?

Graphicwise - HoN >> Dota2 HoN is way more polished at this stage. Though I think Dota 2 graphics will improve.

HoN graphics own Dota 2 graphics

uhm, is this shit starting soon? sgc vs iG ? expected it to start 12:30.

When will this start :/

when is it gonna start??

Is that it 1 game? or will there be another soon? They probably wanna fix the lag issue and get the commentators actually commenting.

Next game hasn't started yet

Philippines vs China

same here.. i think they better be fixing the lag issue

Did mineski vs iG even strt?

it strtred

post here if the next game starts thanks!

yeah it started china vs philippines!! but i hope it will not lag like before:(

Omg.. all complainers need to take into consideration that this is a beta. Sure it sux that the live stream is lagging and the commentator "fell asleep", but they'll work it out. Besides that, the grapichs aren't that bad. This is first time we see dota 2, it's gonna be better. If u don't like what u see go play League of fucking noob legends - Out.

its lagging liek hell again:@:@

its kinda just like hon.,and hon sucks,,its to confusing wheter if i gonna play this game tha the old dota., o.O

lagging probably bcuz of million of people watching it .Lol
I demand their replays! :DD

Match Paused by Referee. WTF!! HAHAHAHAHA..

Why don't they use a P2P system?

all the phillipine dudes that said philipine is the best dota country this is for you : XD

gg na.

oh yeah mwahahaha gg na men

lol the best teams in the world??:)))) they are so bad lol

they are getting on with the new game engine...it's hard to do that.

i guess it is but look at mirana lol

talo tayo...bawi nalang next game.....

philippine team owned... louy

pamayot nalang mu oi kay madala pa siguro...
nganu wala gi banned si magina nga hasol kaayo na...

think about it... HoN and LoL were made for giving ideas for a IDEAL DOTA GAME..it`s normal to find identical stuff. I think it`s an improvement of old DOTA, and a very good one in my opinion. you don`t know anything about the platform yet, so DOTA FTW!

GGNET FTW!! HOPE THEY DO GOOD! ESPECIALLY THE LEGENDARY KuroKy "!! " ! " "! :D

mao man gud na ang naka sanayan nga hero sa mga taga pilinas...bahin sa akong mga tournament nga gi apihan...dili lang pansinon na si magina...^^,

GG Pinoys!

i like wat fjust said
agreed, this game looks sweet and i cant wait till play it

wow they are the best teams in the world, whoever said they arent are just plain stupid and doesnt know anything. New interface and everything so with all that crap going on, i think they're algs

i really wanna see a techies...:((

wtf is this pause shit graphics are half assed and to much like lOl its a joke was expecting a mix between hon and dota 1 i got lol 2 meh cud of spent this time beating of back 2 honcast and a retarded caster named breaky 1600 pro caster goes wirl wirl

awww taking so long to play now... T_T
