NS criticized Valve, giving an honest assessment of Frostivus 2024

Former esports player and streamer Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov said that in 2024, Valve will not expand on its activities but at least did commend the company’s efforts on the treasure chest.

The opinion of NS was shared in a stream on Twitch.

“In “Frostivus” on the other hand, things become bleak. Valve has more-in-less created an event that allows playing only Dota. We have had the CrownFall for like forever and we are still expected to simply play Dota with the mini-games . So here comes another event where relatively there is no ***** nothinh but a chance to once again enjoy playing Dota”

Such events last year were termed as Crownfall, due to which a number of people had predicted that there was close to zero percent chance of seeing Frostivus even NS however opined that it’s just a slight change in what’s around the game and nothing more.

"Well this is absolute nothing to be proud of. This year back again, that is the treasure energizing the act token's earning capability and some soviet discount capsules8767 or so and that's about it. Quite frankly i think nobody expects anything much from this event. I sure didn't. I have to confess, I didn't expect it to exist at all. All I knew was that they would definitely find a way to make an event based on Dota 2 were roshan would have a hat - yes a hat on his head as it has become cultura. This is something that Valve surely had to do but rather went about fitting him with a hat and did nothing else"

In addition, he mentioned that players were given discounts on the last year’s chests and a few bonuses in the shop which in total quite summarizes the festive event again making the streamer unhappy.

Of course, let's not forget the last time some articles appeared mentioning that the new Arcana for Windranger would go up for sale at out of touch prices, being around $130 and with said price the drop rate would be ridiculously low.
