Never played the game nor do I care about it but I walk by Key Arena everyday when I walk to work and everything was all set up today for the event.
Never in my life have I seen so many skinny fats(and just plain fat) in one place in my life. So many greasy neckbeards wearing oversized baggy clothes who look like they haven't showered in 2 weeks.
E-Sports will never gain any traction until these gamers get in better shape, and practice better grooming/hygiene/fashion habits. Why? Because skinny fat neckbeard types aren't marketable. Tough to market E-Sports to the masses when the "E-Athletes" are skinny fats.

ESPN paid around $500 million for the rights to LoL so obviously they think they can market it.

Riot just wiped their arse with another million dollars and said "frick off."
Also Valve could make almost nothing off of Dota and it wouldn't matter. Steam is a cash cow.

The tournament you're referencing has a 20 million dollar prize pool. Try again.
Take a look at this list. The top 5 players are worth nearly 2 million dollars each, and all 5 of those players are on the same team and acquired 95% of that wealth by winning 2 tournaments in well under a year's time frame

Probably well more than 2 million. That doesn't include salary, sponsorships, or streaming.

The only thing I know about this game is what I saw during a tournament on ESPN and in a short documentary on Netflix I believe. The best teams were normal looking people/kids.

A skinny fat is someone who has more fat than muscle mass, but isn't "obese".
Below are some examples of skinny fats:
Skinny fats still take on all the health risks of obesity, without being obese. They still are at major risk for cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and sleep apnea.
I have pity for obese people, but skinny fats I have zero respect for. Skinny fats think because they aren't some 600 pound land whale like the mom on Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, that they are in great shape and can eat whatever they want and not work out.

You mean the tournament that has a 20 million prize pool that was basically fundraised and the company valve got 60 million from it? Not including the tickets for the even that sold out in ten minutes?
Ya, they are in hard times.

They just announced Monday that Valve signed the contract on 9 floors of a new building to expand their offices. Move in May 2017.
Back on topic though : This TI has been amazing to watch. Some of the most incredible dota2 games ive ever seen in 6 years of playing. Im rooting for DEMON to actual win it all. Ive watched him throw and be classic Jimmy for year on twitch. Id be stoaked for him to actually win.

I used to be skinny fat, but thanks to Tren and Mastoron I'll happily drag you through the streets.
