One thing to keep in mind with comparisons like that are that it's an average game against a weekend full of above-average games.

Still impressive numbers, but it's too easy to glance at them and think (and I'm not saying you were doing this) "esports getting more viewers than baseball!"

cough I think you mean DotA 2 cough ;)

But in all seriousness, I think the MOBA genre may be just what it needs, whether that be LoL, DotA, HoN, or otherwise.
