NS said how many more years Dota 2 will exist

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov said that Dota 2 will exist for about 9 more years, and even after that MOBA from Valve will still have fans who will continue to play.

The streamer and former cybersportsman said this during a broadcast on Twitch.

“In my opinion, Dota has about 9 years left. I take a long time because it's not done in a month or even years. To kill a game with such an online and such a fanbase is something you have to try. In 9 years with this trend, Dota will be a local game. Not like Deadlock, of course, but still”

NS believes that the game has a huge fanbase, and that's why it won't disappear very quickly. The streamer also emphasized that the game will not disappear in 9 years, but will just have a small online following. He also reacted to the fact that Dota 2 has had a stable number of players for 12 years, calling the situation a statistical fallacy that will negatively affect the game.

“A game doesn't die if the online hasn't changed in 12 years. No, it's a bad trend. It's a statistical fallacy when we say that stagnation is not degradation because online is in the same place. On the one hand - that's true. But it's degradation, just slowed down. Like a time bomb”

According to him, stable stats, on the one hand is not bad for Dota 2, but in fact it is a degradation of the game, just slowed down. NS even compared this situation with online in the game with a time bomb, which will have a negative impact in the future.

Recall that earlier it became known that players fear for the fate of Dota 2, because such a situation has not been since 2021.
