>>67303813Dota player here with around 2k hours. It's gotten significantly easier to get in since I got in with the beta key scramble back in 2010-2011 with indicators and ranges and such turned on by default but there's a reason it's not popular even if the prizepool until recently was one of the biggest in esports. It's hard to master with a ton of advanced mechanics and it's still not user friendly and things can break.
The last time I tried the tutorial which they had updated with the Dragon's Blood Netflix series, it was already broken as I tried it 6 months after it got updated. Unless they're playing in a practice lobby or the other people in the collab are good, she'll get destroyed even with her minimal experience and playing the tutorial. The only good thing is supports can do a whole lot of things that is fun so Bijou will probably be playing that for the most part.
>>67303678Dota for anything outside of pro play is abysmal. If you go on Twitch any random day that isn't a tournament, you'll find like 3-4 4views which are all pros and then roughly 10-20 3views. It's not that great if you compare it to other competitive games. The International, which is the yearly tournament, has view numbers that are mostly carried by third-worlders and the tournament this year was held in Seattle and didn't even break 1 million CCV when it has done that in the past in other locations like Shanghai and Romania. That being said, one of the reasons why it is this low is because you can spectate in the client and I am in that group that does that because I want to have all the stats real time I can pull up anytime instead of having someone do that in a video.
>>67303680Saudi princes have never cared about Vtubing, why would they start now with doing collabs at a small level? If they cared, it's easier for them to go straight to get a position of power to dictate some control over the company via acquiring a stake in the companies themselves since they are on the stock market. They already did that for some games companies like SNK and Capcom following the playbook of doing big moves of acquiring stock.
