Maybe the below 15 year olds will prefer these "my little pony" games where everything is sparkly and pretty, because RTS/FPS-games are too hard for them. For the rest of us, I don't think it'll cause much of a ripple.

These posts remind me of the "if u don't get hit it's not a real sport" type of people, except 40x nerdier LOL

As people have pointed out - if we are judging by prize pools or playerbase, LOL is actually ahead. You have to use a metric where you argue that DOTA is just a better game, which is obviously hard to prove.
But either way, I think it's great for both DOTA and LOL to have such competition. It means both companies will constantly be making their games better, bringing out new features, and providing a great experience for us. I'll be very happy to play both.

Imagine how great it would be if Blizzard had a competitor with a vaguely similar game to Starcraft 2. You'd definitely have LAN mode and chat channels, that's for sure.

SC2 was supposed to be wonderful. Instead, keep the game as possible you left to itself. gg blizz

dota2 will definitely lead as the king of esports in the future. valve is a company who listens to the community, and the sooner blizzard realizes this, they can dig themselves out of the shithole

Even if BW is going trough some rough times, it still makes all other games look like Mario Kart in terms of professionalism. Oh, and LAN isn’t a big plus. That feature has been around for a while you know. Any “eSport” not having LAN is a joke.

Only time will tell to be honest. It's got a lot going for it though.

Money and interface doesn't mean it's going to the king of esports. You need that and gameplay and watchability. I still think sc2 will be a better e-sport and will have longer staying power.

It's easier to watch, has more to talk about, better build up and it's just very simple for new viewers. There's the red guy and the blue guy and they try to kill each other. DOTA has creeping, laning, and 10 heros, 5 on 5. It makes the game more confusing and there's nothing interesting about creeping.

Although the interface for DOTA2 is definately superior I still believe the gameplay and community behind sc2 will ensure its place in esports in the future.
