RodjER speaks out about issues with The International 2025 qualifiers

Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosyan believes that the community's interest in the regional qualifiers for The International 2025 is too low this year.

The player shared this opinion on Twitch.

“There's no hype around the qualifiers at all, right? Remember, when the qualifiers used to come around, everyone watched them, everyone talked about them.”

According to Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosyan, three years ago, audience interest in TI qualifiers was quite high, but now viewers are much more interested in the BetBoom Streamers Battle show tournament than in the qualifiers for the upcoming The International.

“Even three years ago, there was hype around the qualifiers. But now people are watching BetBoom Streamers Battle — there's more hype there.”

Earlier, Janne “Gorgc” Stefanovski criticized the format of The International qualifiers, suggesting changes to the rules of regional qualifiers.
