I'm actually a little surprised by this. LoL still seems far more popular on streaming sites like twitch.tv. Typically LoL doubles Dota 2 viewership on a regular basis.



I seriously doubt their data.

Dota 2 is clearly harder, less friendly, not even released (you have to really want it to seek out a key), and is identical to Dota 1, which was also free (WC3 is free). Their streams on Twitch usually have 1/2 - 1/3 of the viewers. Dota's main market, China, has not really switched over yet.



I doubt it, the dota 2 scene is not even half of the LOL scene right now



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

USA + Europe = west

Oh... ok.

PLEASE, that article is completely false and has absolutely ZERO credibility. Don't fall for it. Another fake article like this one was popping up today.


LoL has an average on 5 MILLION users on at once- Dota2 has an average of 300,000- it doesn't even come close.

and yet we couldn't even get together 5 people for a VGchartz ranked team...



Laughable report by DFC (the article on Gamesindustrybiz btw is now updated disputing these claims).

Last time I was at my local internet gaming café in February, over 20 out of 30 people there were playing LOL. Nobody was playing Dota 2.

I'd be willing to play, when was this happening?!

Also, this report is can't be right.
