The coronavirus pandemic and Valve left Dota 2 fans without the anniversary The International in 2023, but the long-awaited event, which was forced to throw out a couple of numbers from the name, will begin very soon. Taking into account the situation in the world, matches alone on stage in front of spectators would have been enough to call the tournament a success, but the Cybersport.ru editors decided to dream of an ideal TI10.

The terrible word “hype”

Valve Studio does not like to make a fuss and stir up interest in their projects in advance. Many will say that The International doesn’t need a promotional campaign, but why not give it a try? As soon as Valve resolves the issues with spectators visiting the National Arena in Bucharest, you can start pour content across all channels

Here Valve, as always, can peep into the notebook for Riot Games. First of all, why not give The International 10 its own theme song? I have nothing against music in Dota 2, but in past tournaments, these compositions were performed in a variety of ways. Find the right artist, record an inspiring, dynamic, champion song and launch it a month before the start of the event on social networks and streaming services – the audience at the opening ceremony will be ready to happily sing along and twitch to the rhythm.

As stated in the first paragraph, these are all more of a dream. It is clear that in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, Valve simply cannot pull off such a musical trick in a month. It would be great if the studio thought about this moment in advance, but the chances of the appearance of the main theme of The International 10 in the new format still remain. In the past, licensed music has already played at the Valve-sponsored event – we are talking about ELEAGUE Major 2017 and the collaboration with Metallica.

Gabe Newell at the International 2019 Opening Ceremony

It is rather difficult to offer something in this category, so from the wishes we will leave only Gabe Newell’s appearance either in traditional slippers or in the costume of any Dota 2 character – for the sake of memes at The International 2017 level. And you shouldn’t line up all the tournament participants on the stage, as in the year before last – we still have a pandemic, and it looks a little stupid.

Dota 2 Lived, Dota 2 Lived, Dota 2 Lived

Recall that the top ten in the name of the tournament is not at all just like that – the next The International will become an anniversary, and this is still a round date. It would be unforgivable for Valve to miss such an occasion and not remember the past of the discipline, or at least the TI series. Play legendary moments in Dota 2 history you can do it in a lot of different ways – you can’t do with one selection of highlights.

The grand final of such a championship should receive the most epic intro video and become the most epic match in Dota 2, and it should be preceded by the most epic show match. Ideally it would be worth collect squads from past The International champions, and in order not to interfere with the participants in the match for Aegis, you can return the retired esportsmen. Needless to say, fans from the CIS would definitely like to see a replay of any final with the participation of NAVI? Both options will surely allow you to look again at the mock dance from Dendi before Puppey and other tricks of the legendary mid-lane of the Ukrainian club. The main thing is not to arrange another All-Star with sad players who have just been eliminated from the tournament – that was already enough.

We expect from The International 10 of our legendary highlights like the time-honored Black King Bar from Dmitry LighTofHeaveN Kupriyanov or did not allow NAVI to return to the Dream Coil base from Gustav s4 Magnusson… We expect incredible performances from favorites and sudden successes from underdogs. We are waiting for a loud and bright end to two years spent online, at a tournament with a full, as far as the restrictions will allow due to the pandemic, a hall of fans.

Whether Valve will be able to meet our expectations, we will find out in less than a month. The first matches of The International 10 will start on October 7, and on October 12, battles will move to the Bucharest National Arena.
