Nix claimed that Dota 2 has lost its main advantage over other games: what happened

Alexander "Nix" Levin believes that Dota 2 has lost its main advantage over other esports disciplines, which was the huge prize pool of The International.

Such a statement was made during the stream of the streamer and former esports player on Twitch.

"If you take away the prize pool from TI, then CS and Valorant will become the coolest games. What has always distinguished Dota 2? Even those who didn't know about it would watch thinking that crazy money was at stake there. Someone could go a whole year without watching Dota but still follow TI. That was the main advertisement for Dota 2. How do we attract players now?"

According to him, the huge prize pool, which even in 2021 amounted to $40 million, was the main advantage of the game. Nix noted that even those who were not interested in Dota 2 still watched the world championship in this esports discipline thanks to such advertising.

In addition, the streamer called on Valve to acknowledge its mistakes and release the Compendium again to have a significant prize pool for The International 2024, which will attract players.

It is worth mentioning that earlier Nix commented on the serious problems of Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi in Nigma Galaxy, which affects his performance.
