The problem is PW runs DotA in China. Running shit in China is a dumpster fire to begin with before you even add horrible mismanagement and incompetence to the works. But China is too big of a region to just ignore and say "Fuck you, you don't get a major" like you can't just snub the whole region. So you have to give them a major, but you know the major is going to be an abortion. The whole thing is a shit sandwich.


well maybe give them a little major. like let them hold the qualifiers for ti or something.

or just say fuck you to every production company in china and produce those tournaments on your own, with your own staff and everything brought by you. its much harder to pull off and much more expensive, but at least you get the chinese out of the china major which seems to be the pressing issue here.

Doubt this`ll work.

Having a tournament in China is great, but if they are incapable of actually hosting a tournament then it shouldn't even be considered going forward. The players and the fans shouldn't have to put up with this shit and it's ultimately bad for the game. This is supposed to be a premier event that grows the brand.. instead we are getting 2 hours of delay that makes the casual fan shrug their shoulders and call this what it is, a fucking joke.

I genuinely hope I'm missing something here, but this seems like utter incompetence to me.

Valve make these majors because they're greedy fuckers that want to cash in at every opportunity they can think of

What's the reason for the sack? Was it because he was told to bring to a break, but he ignored the instructions?

This tournament is falling apart at its seams, and it's a Major for Christ's sake.

He admitted on air to challenging production, sending it to the panel and not a break.
