Valve disappointed millions of Dota 2 fans in the grand final of The International 2025

Valve never announced a new hero in the grand final of The International 2025, as it did at previous championships, which disappointed fans of the game.

Many hoped that a new character, which could have been Bard-Frog, would be presented in the traditional show before the start of the decisive match of TI14, but this never happened. Users note that every year a piece of tradition disappears from the game: it all started with the abandonment of the Battle Pass, then Valve canceled True Sight, and later the Major disappeared.

Now fans believe that The International will no longer introduce new heroes, and it is unknown when Valve will reveal details about the next character.
