Rod «Slasher» Breslau shared his opinion on Twitter that Valve show bad attitude towards the Dota 2 community and inattention to its own games:
Valve always seems to escape major scrutiny for their historically non-existent support of esports and inattention to its own games (CSGO, TF2, even Dota now) because Blizzard, Riot, Epic are easier targets. Valve game communities deserve so much better.
Tyler «FionnOnFire» Erzberger, an ESPN journalist, also spoke about Valve's attitude. In his opinion, the company ignores community issues and does not help the competitive scene during a pandemic:
It's actually crazy that the Dota 2 community invested $100 million+ with the TI Compendium and Valve is just ignoring the entire esports scene. No online leagues. No poll partnering with third-party orgs. No concrete plans for when TI will even take place or how.That S***S. it's actually incredible about how Valve gets its fans to pay for the gigantic prizepool of the one tourney it really promotes a year, effectively forcing a majority of top esports orgs to stay away from dota.
