At the time of this writing, DOTA 2 is still very popular although it has recently slid down to the third spot behind Lost Ark and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the Steam’s list of most played online games.  While the number of those playing DOTA 2 have shrunk slightly compared to the years past, the game has continued to retain its faithful following of millions of players and its most popular tournament, The International, has been quite successful over the years.
