The changes related to the last Dota Pro Circuit 2018/2019 have been mostly positively evaluated, but not without concerns.
Two former Evil Geniuses captains – Jacob “Maelk” Toft-Andersen and Peter “ppd” Dager – said it looked good on the surface, but Valve’s announcement lacked the details needed to anticipate the effects. of this change. The distribution of points is considered the most important part.
At first glance the changes to the DPC is great news. Would like to get a better understanding of point distribution (which I hope they have made less top-heavy) and how exactly the point-deduction in case of changes works.

Still need more information on DPC point distribution at majors/minors and if DPC tournaments will have a regulated format. Happy to see change

Beyond The Summit co-founder David “LD” Gorman explains the pros and cons of eliminating in-person invites next season. While it will give the lower tier teams more opportunities, LD predicts that tournament organizers will have a harder time promoting their tournaments when they can’t start off by announcing popular teams. invitation.
No direct invites and no major teams in minor qualifiers is awesome news for T1.5/T2/T3 teams in the DPC
However, it will definitely be more challenging for TOs to sell tickets + sponsorships
Good news is there’s only 10 DPC events instead of 22!

Analyst Alan “Nahaz” Bester also delves into the problem with the current season: that tournament organizers are having a hard time scheduling the most appropriate event. With so many Majors this season having to adopt unfamiliar formats, changing systems and schedules too much will only make things worse.
While I applaud many of the ideas behind next year’s DPC, I’m also very concerned. TOs often sign multiyear deals for venues and need to plan 9+ months in advance. Totally reinventing the system and schedule every year is a huge deterrent to third party investment in the scene.

One of the big things that the first season of DPC had to sacrifice was the size of the event, especially in the regional qualifiers. With so many tournaments going on, it’s hard (and sometimes nearly impossible) to run events without overlapping, not to mention quality assurance. Hopefully with more time next season, tournament organizers and studio cast can focus more resources.
Excited to see organizations the level of coverage for qualifiers, especially for Majors, as they will have all the improve Tier 1 teams now in them.
Expect more hub-style coverage and hopefully similar focus and effort put into them, such as Dreamleague has done so in the past!!— Owen Davies (@ODPixel) June 4, 2018
I would like to challenge all @DOTA2 Minor & Major organizers. You have an allocated window for the qualifiers with nothing else on, do better coverage than what we saw this year…no grind coverage….make it an event to remember!

My biggest hope for next season is that TOs now put in effort to incorporate the broadcasting of the qualifiers into the bigger show rather than abandoning them to remote casters because they weren’t profitable. Now it’s a full package, not some necessary evil for you to delegate

There were two points of conflict that came up in the next season. On the one hand, Minors are clearly side events, so the studio cast and organizers wanted to bring in new faces (which helped expand the casters more). But on the other hand, the fact that the tournaments do not coincide, the famous casters will not be exhausted, giving them more space to work more comfortably. This means that they (reputable casters) can take over the role of new faces in both side events, leading to a shortage of talent and quality Caster in the long run.
2018-2019 should be a great year for upcoming casters, and ex-pros/new analysts wanting to make a move to panels/cocasting.
Minors will be likely to want to include different talent, and with Major qualifiers being more important, a lot of games with great viewers need covering!!— Owen Davies (@ODPixel) June 4, 2018
The biggest potential losers in the new DPC model are the talent, especially the up & comers
With all the crazy DPC schedule overlaps, there were lots of opportunities to make your mark
Now, DPC events have more leverage, & T1 talent can comfortably work the whole calendar

The most obscure idea of this 2018/2019 season is to minimize conflicts of interest between team owners and TI9 shareholders. This is the first time Valve has talked about this issue in Dota 2. With teams like Vici Gaming and LGD being among the clearest examples of an organization having multiple teams, this change is likely to make a difference. big surprises.
Great to see Valve extending the conflict of interest rules regarding ownership to Dota 2 as well. I wonder how that will impact on the scene ahead of next year’s International.https://t.co/WbgSGlAXsr
