    • The 2017 – 2018 Competitive Season

      Dota2.com schrieb:

      In just six weeks, a new world champion will emerge from Seattle, and for the Aegis bearers and fallen challengers alike, resurgent dreams of success in the upcoming year will already begin to take hold. But the road to The International 2018 will chart a different course through the coming competitive season.

      In the past year, we’ve had two Valve Majors shape the competitive landscape leading to The International. However, for the next year we will be taking a more organic approach to growing the competitive ecosystem, working more closely with third-party tournaments. Instead of the previous Major system, we will be selecting many third-party tournaments to directly sponsor. Additionally, players competing in these tournaments will earn Qualifying Points which will be the sole factor in determining invites to The International 2018.

      There will be two tiers of tournaments that we sponsor: Majors and Minors. Majors must have a minimum prize pool of $500k, and will receive an additional $500k towards the prize pool from us. Minors must have a minimum prize pool of $150k, and will receive an additional $150k towards their prize pool. In order to ensure a baseline level of competitiveness, and to support teams from different regions around the world, both Majors and Minors will be required to have at least one qualifier from each of the six primary regions (NA, SA, SEA, CN, EU, and CIS). In addition, Majors and Minors must have a LAN finals component to their tournament in order to accommodate teams from the different regions. We will directly manage the schedule of Majors and Minors to help avoid collisions during the year.

      Qualifying Points will be awarded based on the total prize pool of a tournament, and whether the tournament is a Major or a Minor, with Majors giving more points per prize pool dollar. The total points per tournament will also partially scale based on the time of year, with tournaments closer to The International awarding additional points. Qualifying Points will be granted based on placing high in Majors and Minors and will accumulate on individual players. Roster lock seasons will still exist, and players switching teams during the approved periods will retain their Qualifying Points. In order to allow for teams recruiting new entrants to the competitive landscape and to facilitate sometimes necessary roster changes between lock periods, only the top 3 point earners on a team will contribute towards a team’s effective total Qualifying Points.

      To help teams and fans keep track of standings throughout the year, a leaderboard of individual player Qualifying Points and team Qualifying Point Rankings will be available for everyone to follow along with as teams fight their way towards next year’s International. Best of luck to the teams competing in August, and we look forward to the upcoming season once a champion is crowned.

    • >>>>>>> arguably <<<<<<< war not today mal (war SmAsH mal drin, der name sollte recht fame sein) recht weit oben, die haben sich allerdings mit einem matchfixing skandal selbst aus der szene geschossen.

      davon abgesehen: nein. ich nehme an, valve haben die spielerzahlen vor sich und denken, die anzahl an competitive teams steht dazu in keinem verhältnis und wollen es ein bisschen pushen.
      (könnte aber auch sein dass valve eine region wollen neben der NA-teams gut aussehen LUL)

    • Muss es erst einmal ganz durchlesen, aber ich bin sehr froh, dass Valve endlich mal auf die Turnierausrichter hört und nicht nur auf die Spieler. Man hat ja gesehen wie schwierig es wurde, ein Turnier auszurichten und Spieler zu motivieren zu kommen.
      Es macht mich sehr optimistisch für die Zukunft. Dadurch, dass Valve die Majors organisierte, hat es eben private Anbieter zerdrückt. Deshalb gab es immer weniger Turniere, weniger Prizepool insgesamt (abseits der Majors) und auch immer weniger Teams die interessiert an Dota waren. Typisches "Staatseingreifen" vs offener Markt wenn man so will.
      'Maturity,' father had slowly begun,'
      Is knowing you're wrong and accepting it, son.
      There's prudence in pausing with patience and joy -
      And hearing the wisdom in others, my boy.
      'A person's perspective,' he said with a smile,
      'Is plain if you walk in their shoes for a while.
      And if you can do it - if maybe you do -
      You might understand, and agree that it's true.'
      I followed his reasons, and nodded, polite;
      Perhaps that was logic - perhaps he was right.
      Perhaps there was truth in his claim all along...
      'I'm twenty,' I countered: 'I'm right, and you're wrong.'
    • Werden für die Invites dann einfach die Wertungen der einzelnen Spieler addiert? Ist halt für neue Spieler eventuell ein Problem wenn es kurz vor dem TI nochmal zu nem kleinen Shuffle kommt und man nicht genug Punkte geholt hat das Jahr über
      till the end
