True, but the only events the (major) teams attend are Riot's LCS events. Revenue flows from that. So Riot has a pretty serious stranglehold over the conduct of teams and players. They aren't alone in this; look at how much the chance of participating in The International affects the behavior of Dota 2 teams. Riot just takes it further than their competitors. | ||

Which is just another marketing plan and they get a lot of love through that plan, which translates to sweet steam sales. | ||

Or the almighty Demigod. That's the thing, the only practically affected game on that list is Hearthstone. There's like a grand total of one LCS player that I've ever seen streaming DotA 2. | ||
