Valve’s TI12 battle pass replacement is disrespectful to Dota 2 players

Valve has managed to disappoint even those with no expectations. The developer has always been quick to remind fans that Dota 2 is a passion project for them whenever its back is against the wall, but it feels more like a chore at this point, especially after the brutal gutting of the battle pass.

In June 2023, it was revealed that there would be no battle pass for Dota 2 in 2023, a major red flag after TI11’s prize pool fumbled and failed to surpass 2016 levels of $20 million. The problem in 2022 was the late release of the battle pass, though it still offered substantial content in terms of cosmetics and events.
