I'm a fan of SC2 and DOTA2, but brad never presents them properly.
Like, what other game has gotten weeks and weeks of time on the podcast? basically none, since the bombcast has a pretty regular format with the 'what ya've been playing', usually you get a diverse set of stories from the gang, since they usually play a new game each week, or every other week.
Brad just talks about dota as his game of the week ... for multiple weeks. I understand why people don't like it. It's like as if there was a bombcast from when everybody played WoW all the time, and a portion of the cast was devoted solely to stuff in WoW every week, it would be pretty dull listening to a mmo talk every week.
On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed Patrick's hour long talk about Eve. In this case, he's talking more about the community and stories surrounding the game rather than the game itself. DOTA and SC2 have had some cool esports stories, i remember a cool one they talked about the illegal match-fixing in South korea a while back in SC:BW. I would be okay with cool stories like that from time to time, I would be okay with some International talk this week, but please brad don't talk about how you played techies this week or something.
