Hard truth, this game ain’t topping the charts and overtaking games like CSGO if it weren’t for the money of the players, have you seen LoL Worlds? That’s what happens when the game gets little funding (compared to what dota actually gets). Actually besides from games, TI 2023 is on par with this year’s Worlds because the celebration of dota 2 fans that is supposed to be The International is lackluster. If you truly don’t care about hats or anything then why aren’t you back on the frozen throne map mod that made dota today? Do you think people will still pay for TI if they made them sit on the floor and watch lan party-esque setup games? No, you don’t understand because you’re a freeloader and we don’t complain about your existence at all. People have jobs and families and want to enjoy TI without grinding the hats, while savoring the best presentation there is.

So quit whining about our whining because we want more, if you enjoy low standards then that’s on you, because for us dota 2 is the child that we want to see on top of every rank and headlines every year.

In all honesty, this game wouldn’t last long like so many “FREE” games without the money of the players, get that in your head.
