fng valve should keep working on the game
In an interview for RuHub studio, Artem «Fng» Barshak - Alliance support spoke about the impact of COVID-19 on Dota 2 and the lack of innovations from Valve.Artem highlighted that the absence of LAN tournaments and The International is too significant problem:
It's completely boring without LAN, because it's different sensations at least. LAN has always been some kind of celebration, especially if it's a major with strong teams. We don't have The International, which is also frustrating, because The International is too significant an event for Dota.

In addition, Barshak believes that, unlike other projects, Valve devotes less effort to Dota 2 and releases noticeably fewer innovations and updates:
Due to the fact that the lockdown has gone, the borders are closed, the coronavirus and so on, a lot of esports problems have been revealed, which are the easiest to work on at this particular time in order to avoid them in the future. It was clear that the Dota community was strongly attached to Valve, because times are hard for everyone, many are sitting at home, and in other games online raised, there are some events, something is happening. And in Dota, nothing: they gave a compendium, the Aghanim's event was quite good, and there was nothing at all.

Fng also added that after criticizing Valve, the company still pays little attention to improving the situation in the game:
Valve released out Diretide - not bad, I can't say it's a terrible event, but I think Valve can still work and by the end of the event release the boss for five days to finish it off. But this happened after people started to force Valve “let's talk, talk about what is happening, tell us about the plans”. Even now, it is not entirely clear what happened with the last DPC season, whether it will somehow be taken into account in the next year. It is silly that it will be taken into account, but this question is still open. Valve should keep working on the game, because this is the time when it needs to strengthen itself as much as possible.
