>>18926120well valve love to just deconstruct whatever good stuff they've built over the years for some reason so i guess they should at least have a plan for the next year because obviously if the things will remain this dry and uneventful dota will literally die out and become another valve's terminal patient running solely on copium like tf2, there are thousands of sleeping agents in the dota community who interact with dota only during the international because of battlepass and the huge hype those billions of dollars in prize pool brings but if you deprive them of all these things they'll sequentially stop launching dota and stop bringing the money which is absolutely unacceptable for any big company but apparently not for valve, theoretically speaking of course if they won't just roll back these significant changes and give the next international a prize pool of like 50 million out of their own pocket
