Fans declared the beginning of a new era in Dota 2: The International 2024 will be special

The Dota 2 community believes that the "Golden Era" of the game has ended, and new players are now emerging on the pro scene. More than a dozen Dota 2 legends will not compete at The International 2024.

This topic is gaining popularity on Reddit.

A collage was posted featuring true legends of this esports discipline who will miss this year's world championship in Dota 2. They not only failed to receive direct invitations but also couldn't qualify for TI13 through the qualifiers.

The list of pro players who will miss The International 2024 includes:

• Syed "SumaiL" Hassan

• Amer "Miracle" Al-Barkawi

• Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi

• Maroun "GH" Merhej

• Ivan "Mind_Control" Ivanov

Fans noted in the comments that the "Golden Age" of Dota 2 has ended, and the pro scene now belongs to the younger players. This is evidenced by the fact that more than a dozen famous personalities will miss the competition this year.

It's worth noting that some players from the list will be missing The International for the first time in their careers. This includes Arteezy, who, for the first time since joining the Dota 2 pro scene, will not be able to play at the world championship.
