Dota Pro Circuit is gone, but fans remain skeptical about what Valve does next
Valve announced the discontinuation of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) today, marking 2023 as the final year of the series. This news left the Dota community in a state of uncertainty, with fans voicing a mixture of skepticism and hope for what lies ahead.
The decision, detailed in a recent blog post, comes as Valve acknowledges that while the DPC successfully brought transparency to invitation criteria for The International, it stifled the creativity and diversity of competitive Dota 2.
