Ramzes criticizes TI 2023 as the worst tournament of the year
Russian Dota 2 player Roman “Ramzes” Kushnarev recently shared his discontent and dissatisfaction with The International (TI) 2023, calling it the worst tournament of the year. The comment was made during a stream on his personal Twitch channel.
During the stream, Ramzes expressed his disappointment with various aspects of TI 2023. He criticized the tournament format, claiming it was poorly designed and did not deliver the excitement and quality that esports fans expect from such a prestigious event. Ramzes particularly voiced his displeasure with the group stage matches, citing them as monotonous and predictable.
Ramzes also criticized the lack of transparency surrounding the tournament’s organization. He claimed that players were not adequately informed or involved in decision-making processes, leading to a disconnect between the organizers and the participants. This lack of communication and collaboration ultimately resulted in a disappointing experience for the players and, by extension, the viewers.
Additionally, Ramzes expressed concern over the prize pool distribution, asserting that it favored certain teams and created an unfair playing field. He argued that a more equitable distribution system would better reflect the participants’ efforts and contribute to a more competitive and engaging tournament.
In light of these grievances, Ramzes urged Valve, the developers of Dota 2 and organizers of TI, to take these criticisms into account and make improvements for future tournaments. He emphasized the importance of involving players in the decision-making process and creating a more transparent and fair environment for all participants.
While it is not uncommon for players to express their disappointment or frustrations with tournaments, Ramzes’ comments carry weight due to his status as a professional player and his involvement in the Dota 2 community. His words highlight the significance of addressing these concerns to ensure the continued growth and success of TI and Dota 2 as a whole.
