The DFC Intelligence PC Game Meter service has reported that Valve’s DOTA 2 has surpassed League of Legends as the most played “core” PC game in North America and Europe. This information has been compiled from multiple sources, including stats from Xfire which has 23 million users. It doesn’t include browser-based or social games, however.
DFC analyst Jeremy Miller stated that, “Usage of League of Legends has been steady the past year and surprisingly the huge success of DOTA 2 did not seem to cut into its popularity as much as would be expected.”
