Valve ends Dota Pro Circuit’s 6-year event ‘stranglehold’ after TI12
Just a few short days after rumors of a new Dota 2 event structure started getting louder ahead of The International 12, Valve has now confirmed the Dota Pro Circuit is being shut down after six years at the end of this season.
In a blog post, Valve officially announced the death of the DPC and explained that this move comes because the team can see how it has become “a stranglehold on the event calendar” for a number of reasons.
