There will be no true sight this year. This is heartbreaking when the best part of Dota 2 International is the team's real emotions.
In their podcast, OG broke the news about no true sight this year, which breaks Dota 2 community's heart and Ceb's and Notail's. They explained how Dota 2 is the best game, yet Valve is not caring for its community. "I think Valve Doesn't care about Dota," OG
At this rate, players will start shifting towards other MOBA games, which has happened in the past.
The international 2022 Dota 2 Price Pool
The International is perhaps the world's most significant annual esports event, and the big reason behind it is the massive prize pool to boast. For instance, TI10 maintains the record for having the largest prize pool in esports history, with a stunning $40,000,000 in cash and prizes.
We can observe prize fund for International 2022 is now a little over $13,000,000, which is frighteningly close to TI6 and less than the prize funds for all TIs from TI7 to TI10.
However, the TI11 prize pool's current situation seems very low compared to previous TIs for several reasons. Let's find out why.
What are the reasons behind TI11 has a lower prize pool?
Several reasons contribute to the significantly lower prize pool of TI11. Still, the most obvious reason is that this year's Battle Pass seems somewhat underwhelming, and many fans agree.
The second reason is that a sizable portion of this year's Battle Pass content is behind Part 2, which won't be released until roughly November 3, 2022. However, no money from Part 2's Battle Pass sales will go toward supporting TI11.
The third reason could be a result of public resentment of Valve for a combination of the first two reasons mentioned above. Many Dota 2 players have given their opinion on social media. They have chosen not to buy this year's BP because it is of worse quality than previous years or in protest against Valve locking the excellent portion of content behind Part 2.
The fourth factor that could have a significant impact on the prize pool is that this year's Battle Pass will have considerably less time to crowdfund the prize pool of TI11. The TI10 Battle Pass had 139 days to raise money for The International 2021, compared to 110 days for each of the TI8 and TI9 Battle Passes to fund their respective tournaments. The prize pool for The International 2022 will, however, most likely only be financed by the TI11 Battle Pass for a total of 59 days.
In this conclusion, it is safe to say that most Battle Pass-related purchases will be made during Part 1 of the Battle Pass, and a quarter of it will still be funding the prize pool of TI11. However, from the current situation, it doesn't seem that this year's TI will be able to reach anywhere near the world record-setting prize pool of $40,018,195 by TI10. Suppose it doesn't come close to the TI10 Prize pool or cross the TI10 prize pool. In that case, most of the professional players or players who want to become professional will likely lose their motivation towards The International.
