Well, maybe dota won't be dead by then, but I think it will be starting to shrink by then, unless something major changes from overlords (valve or gga)
Or maybe custom games will save the day... semi doubt it though

unlike blizzard, i feel like valve is willing to learn from their mistakes. blizz fucked up despite everyone telling them they were fucking up. valve seems to listen.
So 1.5 years will be around TI6. Unless Valve just stops throwing TI, I don't think that will happen. I will agree that one of the major broadcasting groups might go under during that time.
I want to hear more about this MLG thing, but that will likely happen soon.
We understand that League right now is the biggest game with the largest player base. But this isn't purely a business or numbers decision for TL. At this moment, taking into account our existing core audience (StarCraft fans), we believe that Dota 2 should be the game we add to our coverage. It "fits" TL's style, and it's very popular among our staff, who play and watch the game as well as visit sites like r/dota2
