Korb3n criticized Valve for The International 2025 tournament format

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov thinks that it is silly to organize The International 2025 Dota 2 tournament in the format announced by Valve. Because of that he ironically suggested that the announcement may be an April Fool's joke of the developers.

The Team Spirit manager shared his opinion on Twitch.

“I guess Valve's probably roflin'. It's an obvious rofl, forget it. It's still early April 1 in Seattle.

I don't think it's true. It's too dumb to play in that format.”

According to Valve's official announcement on Steam, The International 2025 will take place from September 4-14. At the same time, the organizers plan to hold the group stage on the Swiss system in just 4 days, from September 4 to 7. According to the announcement, the playoffs of the tournament will be held from September 11 to 14.

Recall that earlier Luca “Lukawa” Nasuashvili shared his opinion on the format of TI14.
