Dawn of war 2 strategy
I’m really not sure why it hasn’t taken off as an eSport. It has matches lasting on average between 15 and 30 minutes, which isn’t terribly long (certainly shorter than League of Legends matches). It has balanced and interesting gameplay, 6 widely varied factions, clear indicators of skilled play. In short, DoW2 seems to have all the makings of an eSport (especially with the introduction of Retribution, which has a relatively low entry fee of $30 for the complete competitive game). I’m woefully watching my word count rise above the 700 point, and I despair of anyone reading this nostalgic and personal ramble. I know I still owe you all an explanation for what Dawn of War 2 is, and why I like it so much, but this isn’t the time or the place. I took a detour into Brink on the XBOX 360, and more recently into League of Legends, Age of Empires Online (what a train wreck!) and, finally, Dawn of War 2. In the past 5 months, my interest in StarCraft 2 has waned somewhat. I am a 1 woman man, but I am apparently not a 1 game man. I don’t think I can really, fully enjoy a game that is not a) competitive, b) has a large and dedicated community, and c) is an eSport. I now have pretty high expectations for my games.

99% of my YouTube watching is now StarCraft (lately, Dawn of War 2 matches) and I have discovered the beauty of watching pro replays (thanks GameReplays.Org in particular for this). While I’m only a peripheral member, I have tried my hand at streaming, and always make it a point to watch what portions of major tournaments I can.

To make a long story short, I was shortly thereafter introduced to the StarCraft 2 community. I knew that Blizzard’s games usually did very well, and felt that I had maybe found a game that I could play for a long time. I knew in an offhand way that StarCraft was a much-played game even 12 years after release, and reasoned that SC2 would have a big community because of this. I mean, I got the game because I was tired of playing games for 3 or 4 months until the community died, and then switching to another game. It’s hard to describe the change that came over me when I discovered the StarCraft 2 community.

I no longer have interest in playing a game unless it’s competitive.

Magic and Warhammer aside, of course, although these were in college after I started to become interested in competing. In high school and college, as I have mentioned, I was a huge nerd, and also dabbled in writing, art, and a myriad of other things that all had the shared attributes of a) being sedentary and b) being entirely or mostly noncompetitive. I played “sports” through Elementary school only. In my early life, I was not competitive in the slightest. Thus began my love affair with real time strategy gaming. Way back in the day, I had loved WarCraft 1 and 2, I had played Total Annihilation and TA:Kingdoms… and this game, touting itself as the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation, seemed like a good way to spend some time. This was, I believe, about 6 months or so before Frozen Throne? From there, I found a game called Supreme Commander that seemed pretty interesting. I eventually dropped WoW for reasons that don’t need to be discussed here. As a high-school and college student, the bulk of my time was spent playing Magic the Gathering, Warhammer 40K (on the tabletop), D&D, and, of course, WoW. By the time my love affair with the MMO ended (with World of WarCraft) I was really out of the whole gaming loop. I was absorbed at the time with trying to get my parents to let me play Massively Multiplayer online games… first Dark Age of Camelot, then Anarchy Online. I wasn’t paying much attention to the rise of StarCraft 1 as an eSport, to be perfectly honest.
