2cwould 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.
