I find it mind-boggling why MOBAfire would shoot themselves in the foot.

And by that you mean use a completely valid strategy that twitch has confirmed as acceptable, and that they can perfectly explain. Yeah. Such a cluster**** am I right? Maybe if Siv had actually investigated instead of jumping to conclusions he'd have found out there is nothing wrong with what they're doing.

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.

despite what the vapid ***** jhoijhoi says

I don't care what your opinion is or how right or wrong you are, don't harass other users. If you want anyone to take you seriously, show some respect to other people.

also the streams are a great way for newer members to see that the vets that are constantly giving advice aren't just ********ting they actually know what they are talking about?

Except none of the streamers are vets *cough*
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

The fact that the viewer count is high is because the stream is embedded on the front page of Mobafire and people visiting are counted as viewers. Please note that none of these viewers are bots (as SivHD suggests).

The traffic to the website is real, Mobafire has earned that over the years and has worked hard for it. Does anyone really think Twitch would allow the stream to exist if Mobafire was using bots? :S


It's more malicious than you make it out to be.


^ actually works.

Personally I don't understand why Yannis answered. I mean, I know he's the MobaFireTV manager guy, but for something like this, it shouldn't have been an informal discussion on Skype. It should have been full sentence responses from Matt, Flash or Mowen, actual admins of this site.

If anyone read Siv's post and is a frequent MobaFire user, and actually BELIEVED Siv, I don't know what to say to you. MobaFire has never done anything "illegal". They've made bad calls before (partnership with Athene, for example), but they've never done anything wrong.

Instead of believing some uninformed hate-monger, believe in the community site that took you in, let you write your guides or participate in the forums with open arms. Unlike other sites that immediately look for your 900000000 elo badge, MobaFire never has.



Agreed, as a platinum player here, this site is where I have started it's a great resource and too many players think that need the "pro" take on everything when they aren't even close to average level from the type they start playing.

Love the site, don't worry about stuff like this killer. ;)

I'm somewhere in the middle on this one. I can see both sides of the fence.

what i dont understand is the whole "mobafire is taking views away from other streamers!" thing, if theyre on mobafire looking up a guide they probably arnt going to be looking at your stream anyways
