Dota Auto Chess is one of the biggest phenomena of the year. More than 9.1 million people on Steam subscribe to the mod. No wonder, then, that various developer studios quickly rushed to create commercial projects of this type.

The fight for leadership in this category will take place between Dota Underlords and two other projects. The authors of the modifications, the people from Drogd studio, are working on Auto Chess. Initially, the production was intended for mobile devices only, but during E3 the PC version was announced, which will be released only in Epic Games Store.

Valve's second rival in the battle for the throne is Teamfight Tactics, the new Dota Auto Chess-like game mode for League of Legends. A few days ago its test version debuted and it arouses great interest. It is currently the most popular production streamed on Twitch, and the success of the project is so big, that the test servers cant's handle the gigantic queues.
