SMM reverts back to DotA
Posted by Terrence "MrBlue" Wong 6 months ago
There was much outcry from the DotA community after SMM opted to use Dota 2 for their Grand Final event. But, after much discussion among the administration team as well as many opinions voiced from various parties, SMM have decided to go back to their roots and use DotA instead.A lot of reasons were given by fans of DotA for why the original should be used instead of its sequel, Dota 2. Some of them include the limited hero pool, accessibility of the game, being an incomplete game and many more. All arguments can be put to rest now that SMM have decided to go back to WC3 DotA.
The Grand Final event will be held in Midvalley Exhibition Center from the 2nd to 4th December.
This means that SMM will end the year with DotA before Dota 2 takes over.

| Perhaps it will be a GOOD news & BAD news for the fan's out there. Anyway,i surely will not miss my opportunities going there & watch as the match taken place in MID-Valley.  |
| Feeling kinda neutral about this. Happy that the year will end with a final DotA event, other than that. No special feeling. |
| so happy ^^ |
| looks to be a good call. Thank you SMM =) |
| Once again the whiners get their way. -.- |

| YES! thank you SMM for not ruining yourself GJ  #2 ngazi (Trainee GosuBets DotA) 30 minutes ago Sad for Ehome. WHY?! |
| "SMM will end the year with DotA before Dota 2 takes over" yeah w/e SMM forgot that their success came from DotA |
| Glad to hear! |
| We Did It! #1 Steak Sauce Indeed. |
| ROFL!!!! |
| hahaha go community |
| Finaly |
| Yay now smm will be sucess :P Glad that they decided to go back to the good dota and not some incomplete shit thats not even out for open beta, therefore no right to be in official competitions!  |
| We are the 99%! |
| YES!!! this event will definitely become successful!!!! |
| #34, because Ehome have been focusing on Dota 2. Or so goes the rumor. |
| DOTA DOTA DOTA 1 1 1 |
| The game is not even accessible to everyone, there is no reason to run major events on Dota 2 yet. |
#44 4saken.infinity 1 minute ago #34, because Ehome have been focusing on Dota 2. Or so goes the rumor. last time i checked ESWC is on DotA 2 and EHOME will attend it ... |
| I can not begin to express how good of a move this is. I am all for supporting DotA 2, but SMM was not quite the place for that. Truly a good move. |
| (Y) now more teams coming to smm! |
| hmmm...actually i have mixed feeling with this decision..sad for some teams have been training dota like some eu teams and chinese teams.. But it is best to play a complete hero pool and no bugs whatsoever.. |
