I remember seeing these on american channels as a kid , but I ' m pretty sure I can ' t buy it in Canada <| sep |> The peruvians playing dota outnumber the americans playing on the east coast . A lot of the problem actually boils down to the fact that Americans have two servers . Basically an entire south american country is playing on us east because their servers are deadyou can be in the queue for 100 minutes and never get a game . , and only those on the east coast play on us east , so half of an already small percentage of players . No this game is not big in the US , it is much bigger in Europe and China . Only recently , as Europeans have begun to join American teams , have the American organizations in the professiona scene stood a chance .
