Comparing Dota 2 only to League of Legends is too narrow, in my view. Several other esports have copied Dota’s compendium model, most recently Super Smash Bros.

So to only compare to LoL is to concede that LoL is the only one doing it right. (Maybe that’s too harsh, sorry, I’m a bit sleepy)

I think it’s great that Dota is more capitalist & a player’s market. My favorite moment in LCS was when Xpeke left Fnatic and created his own team, Origen. If players are doing this, I’m all for it. The established team sponsorships should float down to those players that aren’t making much money, eventually, if this behavior continues. Maybe, that is too hopeful?
