the biggest personality that actually likes dota is xQc
so if your goal was to show viewers how cool dota is, you might want to start with convincing xQc it would be cool to have a dota arc and turn that into some kind of tournament with other streamers
it's what grubby did with his two warcraft 3 tft tournies earlier this year and they were about as successful as you could expect them to be. last i checked tyler1 even began to play warcraft 3 more on his own than even chess (but i don't know if that's changed recently since obviously chess is more relevant now).
the biggest risk is that if you don't have good, personable personalities working with the amateurs then it will be like when western fgc tried and failed to emulate what the japanese did or like when the weaker gamers struggled with warcraft 3 in grubby's events, it'll either be boring to watch or they'll hate the game and themselves for playing it and that'll affect how their viewers perceive it.
the other huge obstacle dota has against it is the serious time commitment. when singsing was practicing for grubby's event, he literally played and watched his replays for maybe 6 hours a day nearly every day for 3 weeks. it would take a similar level of dedication for dota, and the overlap of people who are open to having that kind of dota arc while being a successful influencer is not that big.
so both the amateurs and the pros need to understand the obligation and lock in.
