cause I don't want to pay to watch a tournament

This is why Riot and Blizzard don't do tournament spectating.

The international was free, and it was the biggest tournament for DOTA 2. And if this method for spectating tournaments is successful, you can bet that Blizzard and Riot will implement it as well.

I don't know about Blizzard, but with Riot, they don't have built in broadcaster system last I played so that's probably why they don't do it.

Riot have a full spectator client they just deliberately don't enable it for tournaments.

Blizzard could easily do it but their partners make a ton of money off subscription passes.

The International was 1.5 years ago and still no movement from the other two.
