Maelstorm predicts challenging times for Dota 2 teams

For many Dota 2 teams, challenging times may come in the new season due to Valve's decision to cancel the DPC. In this esports discipline, only the strongest lineups may remain.

This statement was made by Vladimir 'Maelstorm' Kuzminov on his Telegram.

"Well, Boom is basically gathering a new roster for ESL. In general, South America is in complete chaos with organizations because now there is no DPC, and there is no point in having a roster if it doesn't attend tournaments. But if it does, then the organization is not so critical, and someone will sign them.

Yes, in Dota, tough times will come for many, as always happens during a system overhaul.

VALVE, I'm sure, understood that there would be complete chaos in some places. Organizations will change rosters, players, regions.

The strongest will survive in all of this; essentially, it's a return to the old times. Back in the day, if you were a Dota player from the top 16 teams in the world, you get 500-2000 dollars, and if you entered the top 8, then tens and hundreds of thousands"

In his opinion, such a situation is quite normal for viewers, but esports organizations and teams may find themselves in real chaos. It's worth noting that Maelstorm had previously announced the disbandment of BOOM Esports.
