The 2013 World Cyber Games have announced that they will be replacing Dota 2 with League of Legends this year. While they haven't given any official reasoning behind the switch, there have been some rumors floating around the insider track of GosuGamers that allude to some backroom dealing...
"The official reason for the dropping of Dota 2 this year was not disclosed. However, a reliable insider who does not wish to be named told GosuGamers that the reason for the dropping of Dota 2 is due to an agreement made by Tencent (Company owning Riot) and NeoTV, host of WCG, to not have Dota 2 wherever LoL is present. "
I think this is kinda slack , why can't they just host all the games that have a large enough fan base.
