My previous point is that League, DOTA 2 and Dota All-Stars (which is where Icefrog comes from, and not from DOTA 2 as the guy maybe believe) are basically the same thing and they all stem from his legacy.

So saying this game is "basically DOTA 2" is, well, a much bigger deal than he seem to realyze.

My point about baseball and polo, was about his distinguishing between the number of watchers and the number of players, which is not relevant because MOBAs are huge no matter how you look at them (like baseball in comparison to polo).

Yes but baseball is bigger than polo no matter how you look at it.

It's arguably the game that brought e-sports into a new era. Unless you think League would have ever been a thing without dota being invented.

I guess it can be read both ways. Also, no need to be sorry, your media literacy is not as bad as you think.

As a fan, 20$ is surely the wrong pricepoint for it, unless it's one of those strategies that I'm seeing popping up more and more about having the dyiehard price followed quickly by a 50% cut (that's just the reasonalbe expected price).
