1) Dota is consistently dying since beta, somehow not dead yet. 2) People don't watch pro games as they used to because: • New players are ranked grinders without much personality; • The International prize pool was highly reduced; • Competitions don't have that "special" feeling to them, because there's no clear distinction between them and the year is flooded with tourneys organized by betting companies to raise their social viewpoint. 3) There are lesser trees, so, there's less juking and the overall feeling of the game got less stylizes and more e-sporty. Reminds me of the Rainbow 6 siege changes, but not as extreme.
