Does anyone here have any experience regarding legal or copyright issues with Dota 2? My Android app got removed from the Google Play store yesterday for "Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy".
I've posted a thread on /r/androiddev, but I'm still not sure what I did to get my app banned. Some info from that thread:

I still had the page open on my tablet and made some screenshots of the store page. http://imgur.com/exFtL1E,KHxJnEg#0
There have been Dota 2 apps on the store for years, so I can't imagine the game's developer suddenly having a problem with those. There's two other apps on the store that do a similar thing as mine, but those are still available.

The first one was submitted more than a year ago and the second one a couple of weeks after mine.
I can't really see any differences between my app and the hundreds of other Dota 2 apps on the store, so I'm confused as to why mine was removed.
