Well Dota 2 is the world's largest e-sport. Last year's "The International", the tournament organized by Valve, had a prizepool over 10 million dollars !!
Dota Asian championship is beginning in a few days, with the prizepool of just over 2 mil $
I hate to admit it, but with the current state of Milan I often find myself watching Dota pro's playing competitive games, even when Milan games are on.
The game itself is very hard to learn. Over 100 heroes, each with at least 4 spells... gazillion rules, even more exceptions.
I've played Warcraft 3 dota vs bots for over a year before I dared to play online vs. other players
One thing I love about it, once you've mastered it you can just find a match, play it and forget about it, and then play the next one when you find time.
As I've grown older I've lost patience for games in which you have to remember the story and the relations between characters. For example I've tried to play Mass Effect because everyone was telling me how great it is. I've logged 6-7 hours in it, then I had a busy period on work and I couldnt play at all for about a month or so. When I tried to play it again I had to restart because I could remember a damn thing about characters, who, what, with whom, blah blah.
Best of all, Dota 2 is a FREE game
