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

LoL... it has a 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?
