It seems like the Dota 2 community might face another disappointing decision by Valve according to this latest rumor. In the recent OG’s Monkey Business podcast, JMR Luna and the Sébastien “Ceb” Debs-Johan “N0tail” Sundstein duo talked some Dota 2 as usual. However, the CEO of OG then dropped a bombshell, revealing that there might not be a True Sight for TI11.
The trio firstly talked about the recently released TI10 True Sight and commented on the documentary and its amazing SFMs. But in the middle of the 50-minute long podcast, JMR Luna suddenly revealed what would be a heartbreaking fact for the community: “I have something that I want to put in the universe and I don’t know if we should talk about it right now but I heard there’s no True Sight this year.” [Minute mark – 25:20]
“It is like changing a ritual.” – N0tail
The podcast continued to discuss in-depth the state of Dota 2 and how Valve is handling it. They gave high praises for the game itself, calling it the best game there ever is – but they followed up with criticism on how Valve is promoting the game.
N0tail calls True Sight and TI11 the main attraction for Dota 2 fans and the only form of “advertisement” the game ever gets. It is true that the player base spikes up during these moments of the year. He then comments that if Valve stops True Sight “it is like changing a ritual and I don’t see a reason why you want to change this right now.”
“Maybe they don’t care anymore, maybe they don’t have the energy or the passion to go through these things. Or maybe there’s a very legit reason, something to do with still growing Dota 2. But I’m sad hearing it, very sad.” said N0tail. [Minute mark – 33:24]
Dota 2 Player count spikes after True Sight & Battle pass release
True Sight continues to be one of the best esports documentaries.
If there is no True Sight for TI11, it is the biggest loss the community has to suffer. True Sight is one of the biggest, most celebrated Dota 2 content in history, and to pull the plugs on this project -without a very valid reason- is uncalled for.
However, this is merely a rumor and there is no official announcement on the topic. And hopefully, it stays a rumor.
