You're coming to study. Focus on that. Don't waste your time.
To answer your question - dota is hugely popular among the player base who play it (which is large), but general public overall is oblivious to it (counter strike, league of legends, world of warcraft are more well known).
donta scene in the us is a joke, same as it has always been
i think i failed to summon kitrak to shitpost smthng about na dota for 4-5 times in a row at this point, so im not sure why am i even commenting

Also I doubt it's big
You won't have trouble finding matches but yeah it's not like wow where literally everyone on college campus played. If you want that kind of experience get like destiny or madden or even the new zelda. Americans are obsessed with consoles for some reason.
like sent said, focus on learning not dota.
if your going to play, learn Spanish and prepare for lots of crying, upset epeens and ragers... just like any other region.
First of all, GL with your education fellow SEA-an
If you're willing to wait 30 minutes for a game, enjoy free MMR I guess? Long wait times, especially USW, but people there aren't that good, for sure. You can handle the toxicity, you're from SEA lol
> plays in SEA (3rd world)
> moves to US for studies (rare opportunity + moving to 1st world)
> first thing that comes to mind "CAN I FIND FRIENDS WHO PLAY doTA?!??!"
Stentotian answered it pretty well the fanbase is big but not comparable to those of the other games like cs go cod and pubg. Like 5 out of 100 ppl will know of it and only 1 of those 5 actually play it and is an enthusiast about it.
@FeelsBadMan I used to queue US West along with SEA, and sometimes get it. But I think it's that patch that makes games geographically-based, which is why I can no longer do so. So I get long AF queue times when I try to queue NA only, and still don't get a match. I just based my comment off of that.
Us east is far more populated. If you try to mention it to anyone they will simply laugh at you and say league of legends is better. The queue times are not bad. I hear SEA is more toxic and EU is less toxic so it's a middleground. Also I hope u speak spanish.
I know even less people who play league than dota. Quite a few dabble in hearthstone or overwatch.
^mostly overwatch, pugb, hearthstone, cod
league seems to be more popular, based on people i know who play it, but they tend to be more casual and/or not play anymore

Moving there next year to further my education, just wondering how popular dota is among the people there.
Thanks in advance.
