Master Moltar 03/30/20 6:13:04 PM #299:	Round 1 Minecraft vs. Dota 2 Moltars Analysis Minecraft is one of those games thats a mainstream hit. Its not going to be on the level of a Sonic or Mario though, because GameFAQs doesnt hold it in high regard. Unlike Pac-Man and Tetris, which are also mainstream and widely-known, its not an iconic and respected game either, so itll be weaker than those. I mean it lost to Halo 5 years ago so we know its not worth much. Dota 2 though? That should be no problem for it. The site pretty much hates MOBAs if you look at any past poll that has run on this site. If anything is getting the apathy vote here, its Minecraft, and I wouldnt be surprised if it was very one-sided since youre forcing people to vote in all of the matches running. Moltars Bracket: Minecraft Moltars Prediction: Minecraft 72% ____________________________________________________________________________ transiences Analysis Man, what? What is this match? How do you think it through? Neither game has the favor of this website. Minecraft is perceived as this baby game that the kids play and DOTA 2 is this free to play PC only multiplayer griefing game with a questionable community. Neither game really appeals here, so how do you judge what they dislike less? Minecraft is the more proven entrant as it got a similar kind of match back in 2015 vs. Halo. Minecraft lost easily, but it wasn't a killing and Halo 1 would probably do pretty darn well in this contest. DOTA has.. a 2013 PC poll where I guess it got some votes, but it lost clean to the Stanley Parable. DOTA 2 has a higher upside, but that's mostly because we haven't seen it in a contest. I don't know. I'm going with Minecraft. I'd rather pick the disaster that I know. Also, I trust this site to side with what is at least sort of single player, vs. a dedicated multiplayer MOBA. No matter what happens here, it probably won't be close. transience's prediction: Minecraft with 61.44% ____________________________________________________________________________ Leonharts Analysis I really dont know what to make of this match. I guess Minecraft should win this, but I have no confidence in either game to be worth anything. We saw Minecraft in 2015, and while 43% on Halo seems decent, the series hasnt been worth anything in quite a while (as we saw the other day with Reach looking mediocre against Life is Strange). I dont think its as bad as Fortnite in this regard, but were generally too old for Minecraft. Half the site has never even played it based on the most recent poll. That being said, Id wager even fewer of us have played Dota 2. Half the site hasnt tried playing any MOBA at all (which means the number for Dota 2 itself is probably a good deal lower) and 75% of the site doesnt watch streams of them either. I feel like this might be the contest match we as a whole care about the least. Ill take Minecraft, but I honestly have no clue if it wins by a little or a lot! I guess Ill go somewhere in the middle. Leonharts Vote: Minecraft Leonharts Prediction: Minecraft with 60.51% ____________________________________________________________________________ Kleenexs Analysis Every contest we get a match where everyone gets to make the joke about how neither games will get any votes so itll be a tie. This year, this is that match. Make no mistake - Minecraft will win this match, and probably handily at that. But holy cow you might have a harder time picking two games that GameFAQs could care less about. And dont come at me with that match from 2015 where Halo got embarrassed by Minecraft (embarrassed in the sense that it wasnt a blowout). Half the site hasnt even played Minecraft. Even among the circles that did care about the game, it seems way less popular that it was a few years ago. Not being part of those circles, I cannot confirm or deny this, but thats my impression. Meanwhile, Dota 2 hasnt even been uttered in the text of a GameFAQs poll in almost 4 years. This site just does not give a shit about MOBAs. Possibly even less so because of Draven, although I dont know if thats just confined to League. So yeah, zero votes LOL! Kleenexs Prediction: Minecraft with 70% ____________________________________________________________________________ Guests Analysis - spooky96 Neither of these genres are particularly liked by GameFAQs. Its strange though, because both of these games are popular beyond belief. Still, Dota 2 should be the clear winner here, because GameFAQs would prefer to die then play/vote for a game like Minecraft, it simply doesn't have that kind of appeal. On any other, normal gaming site this would probably be a debated match, but here, Minecraft simply doesn't have any chance whatsoever. Also, I'm not a fan of Draven's run in 2013, but still, you guys should give MOBAs a chance, they're extremely fun and addictive. A simplified version of the League of Legend is the only game I've played in the last 2 years and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. So yeah, go ahead and try LoL or Dota 2, who knows, maybe you might enjoy them!
