Valve changed the rules of The International 2025 without informing the players

Luka "Lukawa" Nasuashvili, manager of BetBoom Team, noticed that Valve made changes to the rules of The International 2025, which were not announced either in the tournament announcement or in the format description.

He reported this on his Telegram channel.

"Just by chance, while reading the rulebook, I found out that the Swiss will be divided into 2 groups of 8 teams))))

The funny thing is that this was not mentioned in the tournament announcement, format, etc.)"

The manager noted that this information is indicated in the rulebook on the official website of the game. However, he is surprised that Valve did not inform the TI14 participants about this. The community is also shocked by the changes, because they can significantly affect the results of the teams.

The point is that according to the new rules, the group stage will be held with two groups within the Swiss system. Valve themselves have not made any statements on this matter yet.

Let's recall that OG previously responded to the fact that they did not get a slot for Gaimin Gladiators at TI14.
