Dota 2’s TI12 looks to be keeping a universally-hated change from last year’s event
Valve doesn’t shy away from experimenting with different competitive formats and gameplay elements. However, Dota 2 fans tend to not like most of these tweaks and changes, especially the ones rolled out for The International 2021. Despite that backlash, Valve looks to be considering re-using the format again for TI12 this year.
Dota 2 fans did the math after Valve revealed the schedule for The International 2023 in Seattle. Based on the dates Valve shared, Dota 2’s prime event will once again be splitted into three parts with quite a few breaks in between.
