I wouldnt say that. LoL gets over 100k on their weekly LCS matches in both EU and NA, and at this seasons finals they will be over 200k for the most part of that I am sure.
TI3 all streams combined (all languages) were peaking at 700K yesterday. I'm not saying it's bigger than LoL (because I've no idea) but it's big anyway.
Don't get me wrong I think Dota 2 is on the up-and-up which I am thrilled about as I try to learn what the hell is happening when I watch. But I think The season 3 finals for LoL will beat pretty much every mark set by TI3

One random place on a stream sums up all of america.
It's true. They all look like this. There's not even one that is a pretty close replica of Nuketown. Nor any that are in heavily wooded areas, like around here.
Also - I still always smile when Rotterdam does the backstab.
I actually played paintball in a heavily wooded area this past weekend and had a ton of fun. Southern New Jersey

If by worst you mean best, and by not funny you mean funny, and by extremely cringeworthy you mean extremely awesome, then I totally agree with you and well said.
You think asking people to state what pet they would have of a SC2 Unit is the best thing about this tournament? OK. He just seems terrible at interviewing and his questions are juvenile and add nothing. I guess different people have different standards for what is awesome and what is actually not.
The man used "Isengard army of orcs" as a metric unit. In what universe is that not awesome?
In this universe, when the word awesome actually is used correctly. Some people are impressed very easily, it seems.
you might be a little uptight bro, just saying.
All I said, was I thought he was the worst part of WCS NA.
Someday you might realise that people are allowed to have different opinions to you, just saying.
you literally said he can't be good because the person who called him awesome did not use the term in a 19th century aesthetics sense of the word
No I didn't. Also maybe you need to look up what literally means as well.

Dota2's current scene is based around one gigantic event.
SC2 and LoL are centered around various seasons/tournaments across the world, leading to a gigantic event at the end of the year.

LoL Season 2 Finals peaked at 1.1 million concurrents. And it just became bigger since then..
(and when we are on topic of LoL - anyone knows when does the LCS superweek(end) start?)
For more context, Dota 2 just reached 5 million unique monthly players. Lol reached 32 million unique monthly players 9 months ago.
