We saw in the previous years, when TI was so big, that some of the qualified teams just ignored majores.
Could this happen next season ? Or will Riyadh also tone down their prize pool?
I’m really curios how will this year’s TI, affect the decision making of the teams, for future tournaments. Did any pro player comment yet?
It would be great if they were spaced out in time, well, Riyadh would be played in January-February or spring, and Int, like now September - October. Because they are very close to each other. So we would have 2 semi-annual important tournaments and teams that were good in the first part of the season (before Valve fixed their meta, lol) could claim something serious. On the question itself - if the amounts grow, as the Saudis promise, I am sure that over time the tournament will be quoted close to or equivalent to Int
