Dota Underlords’ average player count is decreasing month by month.

Dota Auto Chess is a widespread phenomenon in the early days of launch, this is a unique game mode built by the Chinese development team in Dota. In just 3 months, Dota Auto Chess has attracted up to 7 million players. With that success, of course Valve has an eye on this game mode, the publisher met with the “father” of Dota Auto Chess, Drodo Studio, to discuss the potential exploitation of this game mode. but no consensus was reached.
