    LOL Indeed

    Asides from the pun, it seems like LoL might have spent all/a lot of it's marketing budgets with this move on improving the competitive scene

    But why pay gamers to play when you can charge them to play?

    If your popular and have money, you can have a competitive scene (just look at WoW) even if you lacking features catering for competitive matches. With an estimated 300k concurrent users across their realms, I think it definitely meets the "popular" requirement.

    Well thats 5 mil total for all the tournaments, so its going to be alot less for individual tournaments. However....dota really?
    People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
