Dota 2 play surpasses League of Legends in the West, report says

Dota 2 is the most-played PC game in the West, according to a report by DFC Intelligence (via ). The multiplayer online battle arena surpassed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:League of Legends for North American and European hours played for the first time in 2013's first quarter, acco🐷rding to DF⛦C's PC Game Meter service.

Keep in mind that the metric does not cover Asia--with just China added to the equation, League of Legends trounces Dota 2 as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:core-PC-gaming champion. Fortunately, the MOBA m🧜arket appears to be growing instead of cannibalizing itself෴:

"Usage of League of Legends has been꧅ steady the past year and surprisingly the huge success of Dota 2 did not seem to cut into its popularity as much as would be expected," DFC analyst Jeremy Miller said.

Dota 2 is still technically in closed beta (though most Steam users could paper their profiles with spare invites). We can't wait to♌ꦯ see the sparks fly between these MOBA powerhouses once it releases in full.
