Compendium no skin = pro player no income? they are getting greedy

[K no H2O]

Traditionally, TI and BP worked together and a part of money from TI will be shared to pro player who win the TI. FROM NOW, they seperated it. Which I think it really mean. compendium(comp) full of trash items so no one buy it. after comp is done, they release arcana,persona, treasure after event => none a single dollars go to pro player bucket. they keep it for themselves. What a garbage developer are they.

that was exactly what my point is. money fo directly to Valve pocket, no more share for Player. it showed how greedy are they.

Exactly so we don't need to spend money for the TI prize pool. Its Valve responsibility to provide it. Its win for the us the players. And if the prize pool is bad that means the Valve name is on the line.

they saw 40 milion dollars for pro player is too much, let's steal it. boom, compendium released

750$ TI tickets is what's paying for it

in the top 50 pro players with highest earning in history of Esport. 47 of them dota2 players. 2 CS GO players and 1 Fortnite player.

The Pros had enough even without massive TI 2023 prizepool

then why not those money for pro go back to serve for dota 2 players instead of they keep it for themselve?

"after comp is done, they release arcana,persona, treasure after event => none a single dollars go to pro player bucket" looks like fair

what? But what I wonder about is that there was no complains after they announced just that but only now, a few month later when it reall happens.

I’m also puzzled by that. Why nobody complains 4 months ago.

I begin to understand why Valve is shy with announcements about their future plans because apparently nobody reads it anyway.

Valve is saving the big money pool for post TI. They are releasing the arcana and immortals after TI which means 100% of the sale proceeds will go into its own pocket. I had purchased more than 2000 levels in the past, not just for items, but to contribute towards the prize pool to support the pros who keep this game alive. This is the worst TI ever, I only bought the base compendium. There is nothing in the compendium that I wish to waste my money on!

Pro player, is the top player who join the competition. not who pay for BP.

Thats exactly the point. Thats why they don't announce things too much anymore. Nobody read anyway.

Pro teams will be compensated, Just not in hundreds of thousands, and just thousands.

I think it is time we considered that E-sports need a following and commercial backing, and when the commercial doesn't want to back it, it is not on the community to do so. What makes conventional sports effective is contract deals, sponsors and owners, people who front the buck. Multi-millionaires and the like. Swiss accounts and trade agreements. Player trading. E sports is a bunch of videogamers who want to keep playing videogames while being compensated for it. It effects just the teams involved and isnt spoken off season. Only owners are the team owners, and drafting isnt a thing. They scramble for advertisements when Professional Sports are picking who paid the best. Now they are sad the revenue is drying and the userbase cannot fund it, when 90% of dota players are free to play, beg for free things, pay nothing and watch it fault.

E sports is a playground for children and not a burst investment. Even short term. We watch as leagues spring out of nowhere to die soon after. It isnt a realistic ground for a career and makes less sense in this modern age of conditioned gamer.
