If I won't be watching the Major (Maybe catch a few games after it's over) is the Battle Pass worth it on a content point of view?

if you play a lot of dota and like doing quests yes.

As a league of legends player how can I quickly pick up what the teams are doing? The game of Dota2 seems so slow compared to League.

It's worth it if you play Dota regularly, kinda hard to recommend if you are just playing a couple of times a month. I play a few times a week and it's already paid for itself.

When players stand in front of creeps and try to block the path, that is called creep blocking

Dota2 has that bug as well? Man that is the Achilles Heel of MOBAS.

I think James is a really good contrast to the rest of the Dota scene (and a great deal of E-Sports as a whole).

You wouldn't have him for every event but he's still good.
