This is awesome. My brother and I play Dota almost daily, but my parents never really showed much interest in it. Usually just being upset when they ask us to do something 20 minutes into a game and we tell them we'd get to it later.



With Valve's handling of the event, I was able to show them the opening ceremony, the videos of the players, the daily recaps, and the "what is dota" video.



After seeing the article on ESPN, even my dad was interested in it. He'd ask me questions not unlike the manner in which I'd ask him questions about sports I don't watch often.



Here's hoping this will be a good episode. I couldn't be happier with how TI5's exposure has been.
