How come dota2 has a middle eastern server and league doesn't?

I mean really, I know that geographical problems can be the main obstacle. To be transparent, the biggest challenge for the Middle East region is to find a server spot that improve latency for the whole region and to make sure there are enough CCU (concurrent players) at a given time to ensure reasonable matchmaking. But have you ever thought of Dubai? For example, if you put servers in Egypt, players in Saudi Arabia may have a worse ping because of Internet infrastructure: most connections from Saudi would through europe first before going back to Egypt. And vice versa.

But really can't you just see what dota2 did and do like them?
