If Dota and LoL are not in direct competition, what exactly is? Like seriously, I think there are very few matchups where the term is more appropriate.
I've never played a single game of LoL, while I've played thousands of hours of dota so please don't generalize. I think due to their release dates and due to the different groups of players enjoying them, they aren't in a deathmatch direct competition. For example if LoL releases some amazing great update tomorrow, will you quit dota2 for it? Will you expect dota 2 to make a reaction to it? Will you even know about it? The answer to all the 3 is no, so hardly a direct competition.
Did immortal 2 and 3 come out at the same time last year. I want my hats damnit
The Na'vi v Alliance hype was real. Alliance pretty much threw game 2 when they had it in the bag and it seems like they were too tilted to perform well in game 3. The viewership numbers though....

by Valve's rules both Secret and EG have to be in the Open Qualifiers for TI6
Fnatic Newbee game 2 pissed me off. They need to nerf the fuck out of creep skipping with illusions. Fnatic played so well, slowly accumulating a lead over the entire game but are never able to press the advantage because Naga Siren basically cheats and can manipulate creep waves with zero drawbacks and Song of the Siren is hilariously fucking overpowered at lvl 3.
Only game I've watched this tournament where I honestly feel like the winners won because they abused broken items/heroes rather than skill.
wtb tinker set T_T
i feel so bad for navi, well
and LMAO secret got fucking bulbo i thought reddit was just trolling smh

What a surprise! The 3 apparent best teams in the world before the tournament are in the top 3. OG, Liquid and Newbee.
I wonder how many teams knew of Wraith King against the LD bear. OG have either neutered LD or forced Valve to nerf the crit on the bear.
knew what? that you get the creep crit rating vs the bear? works the same against roshan and ancients. same thing with pa dagger
wk is a super good hero
