It's more that double elim means much longer tournament, which may or may not be good. They have been super adamant about making sure a Western team gets reasonably deep, which makes sense. This leads to teh stupid byes, but if nothing else, S3 showed us that EU and to a lesser extent NA really aren't as behind as people initially thought. | ||

Unlike western countries, gaming is widely accepted among the youth and the chinese are really warming up to esports. Dota 2 and LOL are neck to neck in terms of popularity in China. A win for Royal China could have been huge for RIOT. I've seen a lot of people saying that they almost exclusively saw people playing League when they visited china, so not sure if it's really neck to neck anymore. Ofc those were just a few personal experiences. | ||

They have decent infrastructure which is one of the driving factor behind Korean success and also vast reservoir of potential talents to draw upon - theoretically they should pull ahead as time progresses. | ||

On the other hand you have Chinese players retiring because of restrictions placed on them | ||

Dota 2 just started open beta in China last month (chinese aren't allowed to have an international Dota 2 account). Basically the growth of Dota 2 in China is severely restricted by Valve/Perfect World's actions. Thats the biggest thing hurting Dota 2, not WC3 Dota, its largely the same game. Meanwhile, LOL is growing rapidly... | ||
