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.

would you not want a company that owns your game to shower its competitive scene with more and more money? I've never understood why people use it as some hollow insult.

It's not that they're throwing money at the esports side of their game, it's that they're doing it in such a shitty and disgusting way. If Valve honestly cared enough about esports, DOTA2 would probably be 5 times more popular than LoL, but the thing is valve probably doesn't want to stoop so low as to bribe tourneys to only host DOTA2 tournaments with no LoL.

wcg is shit anyway, even the lol community doesn't want them.

this isn't what riot does. they bribe other tourneys with support and lots of money if they don't have any other competing game there. they do this to teams to, if you have a dota 2 or hon team you can compete in their big tournament but you can't finish in the finals (something like that). they're afraid of dota 2 and they'll do anything to kill it. scummy company, hope it dies a swift death.

To put it into perspective Riot is trying to "monopolize" eSports as we know it; as at the beginning of season three for League of Legends when the contracts were being given out (including their salaries) any MGO or sponsoring organization could only support League of Legends and not any other MOBAs (Dota 2, HoN, etc). But like any stupid move like that it was exposed to the world and eventually dropped before the opening of season three.
