Ppd: "I see a chance for Dota communities to unite and create unique crowdfunded tournaments. I'd love to help organize and contribute"
2023-09-15 18:20:00The International 2015 champion Peter "ppd" Dager shared his expectations about the future of the pro scene after the cancellation of the Dota 2 Pro Circuit. He thinks this situation provides an opportunity for the community to organize itself and create crowdfunding events.
We've always looked to Valve for direction, I hope the ESL Pro Tour isn't just a repetition of that phase. I truly see a chance for Dota communities to unite and create unique crowdfunded tournaments of their own. I'd love to help organize and contribute towards that future.
In the comments, the former professional player Dominik "Black^" Reitmeier stated he would join such an initiative, willing to help build events like this.
On the evening of September 14, Valve announced that DPC would no longer be used for issuing invites to TI but did not reveal what would replace the system. At the same time, the company noted that it is already working on organizing The International 2024.
