You guy might be totally looking in the wrong place and pointing the finger at the wrong person. You should consider why Icefrog would go to such a big effort to create a brand new website over a falling out. I think he didn’t get something he wanted from PD, or he wanted control over the largest DotA’s websites population. Why else create a new site, there has to be a reason. I’d even suggest that IceFrog might have a conflict of interest. As PD has said, he’s recieved million dollar offers for his website. Maybe. Who wouldn’t want to create a website that could make that sort of cash?

All I’m saying is to keep an open mind. As much as we’d like to think so, Icefrog is not a god. Also before you start calling me a troll, wait 3 months. See if Icefrog is doing anything self serving with his new website. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Just don’t go accusing PD of doing it when IceFrog does it 3 months later. Because if its not ok for PD, then its totally ok for Icefrog???

BTW, I happen to know where those rumors started and they are all untrue (well at least the league of legends one and the P2P one). Now think of PD and Icefrog, one of them is being the bigger man by not sharing the details.

ic frog is working with dotapickup now and this is old news. The reason they split up is because of league of legends. Pendragon, guinsoo and shit want to make cash out of it while icefrog wants to keep it free and for fun…

So now icefrog is working with dotapickup while the others are working on league of legends.

Hmmm…
“I am just thanking that their so-called and rumored feud doesn’t affect the DoTA maps….” Hoothoot

There is another situation here that could arise. Somebody from dota-allstars.com could take charge there and dota could develop from there, and IceFrog could continue on with his awesome skillz. Two different paths of the evolution of DotA… could it happen?

If I shouldn’t be studying for my exam tomorrow you could have read about this in my blog… but exams suck like that.

lol. anyway IceFrog can continue his awesomeness!

If DotA becomes p2p, most people, if not all, will probably keep playing the latest map on bnet anyway. The “pr0″s might pay for it, but I certainly won’t.

nothing official in the non-beta forums of the LoL site about P2P yet.
I continue to hope it wont be.
