oldR 🇧🇷 says Dota 2 team costs are no longer financially viable
"The competitive scene is still alive, but I believe that, given the current global economic situation, the entertainment industry as a whole is experiencing a downturn."
"Nowadays, it's no longer financially viable to cover the high costs of running a team, unlike, say, five years ago."
"On top of that, the growing influence of betting companies has hurt organizations that weren't dependent on their sponsorships."

The end of the Battle Pass and other big events has significantly distanced the Dota community.
The competitive scene is still alive, but I believe that, given the current global economic situation, the entertainment industry as a whole is experiencing a downturn.
Nowadays, it's no longer financially viable to cover the high costs of running a team, unlike, say, five years ago.
On top of that, the growing influence of betting companies has hurt organizations that weren't dependent on their sponsorships.
Meanwhile, Valve seems to be focused on Deadlock...
It's a combination of factors.
Team Spirit the kings of the lower bracket. Congratulations on another tournament win.
These guys are experts in bo5 series. Batyuk filled in for Collapse perfectly and Yatoro added yet another way to play Dota 2 to his repertoire with that carry OD.

OldR on the PGL Wallachia Season 9 playoffs: "I see Team Yandex 🌍 and Xtreme Gaming 🇨🇳 above the others"
"The best teams advanced.
Conventus was a bit disappointing.
I see Yandex and Xtreme (returned to playing their Dota and applying their good macro game) above the others but anything can happen in the playoffs.
Congratulations to Arthur 🇲🇾, even with standins he managed to advance to the playoffs with Nemesis 🇵🇭."

OldR 🇧🇷 on the ESIC bans:
"I just want people to know that there are still people working hard in the SA region. Terrible conduct and choices will take historic and incredible careers straight to the trash. Talent and hard work will always pay off and will take you to the top. You don't need shortcuts."
Só quero que as pessoas saibam que ainda existem pessoas trabalhando duro na região SA.
Com a conclusão da ESIC fica a lição que péssimas condutas e escolhas vão levar carreiras históricas e incríveis diretamente ao lixo.
O talento e o trabalho árduo sempre vão compensar e vão te levar ao topo. Você não precisa de atalhos.

Que ritmo do Ben Shelton. Diferença da long run do ATP que Alcaraz não teve. #USOpenNaESPN

Team Falcons and this roster have made their mark on Dota 2 history. It was great following the Falcons era of 2024–2025. Aui_2000 is a genius.

What a final, my friends. Anything can happen in Game 5. Let's see the drafts and who manages their emotions better ingame. I have so many thoughts on this The International. #TI2026
