+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://www.businessinsider.com/image/507455e069beddfb0a000001-608-457/sports-revenues.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_s55EvKYG0c/ULfjzxTvVmI/AAAAAAAABCM/6aVf4se7nic/s1600/tvcontractsrevenue.png) the NBA isn't dead because the NFL trumps it in every metric of ALIVE GAME. All that matters is that the game is sustainable to produce events for, something SC2 never understood as they committed Sudoku. | ||

The whole dead game discussion is only for people who think we need to "keep up with other Esports" for reasons beyond my understanding. | ||

Is that riot employs around 5 times more people. So they would have to actually report a higher number of moneys to pay more people while valve is compared to how much actual work and costumers they have very few people who needs to get payed each month. Therefore has opportunities keep more money inside of their system. Yeah I am super teird and couldnt be arsed to write proper english sorry guys i think i went semi gosi in this one. well 1) as others have said it doesnt' actually matter that LoL is bigger 2) I never read the article so i dunno if it's talking net or gross (aka profit vs revenue) 3) the dota team is sub 100 ppl, the LoL team is > 1000 so w/e. Paying their employees is the least of either companies concerns.
