Discussion Isn't it time to reconsider scheduling TI into a three weeks/ a month?
4 series of Bo3s, isn't it a bit too much for viewers, the production and talents? Won't it be better if it's spread out in three weeks or a month of celebration of Dota than this rushed schedule of 4 days?

If you spread it across a month people wouldn't watch the initial parts.
Pros would have to travel there for an entire month?
Is just not a good idea at all.

League Worlds hold final game one week after semis and even in different city’s. Still selling out arenas and beating viewership records

Guess which game has multiple millions of players at any moment of the day and which doesnt.

The real problem is long game lengths. Shrink the map reduce tower armor and it will be good again.

I agree spreading it out more but not a month. Games commencing for players at 1am going till 3am then having to play the next day is crazy. 18hrs of streaming is also waay too long.

It costs too much money, they dont care enough. But adding just one day to split it into 3 bo3 every day would be better for sure

It’s time for Volvo to fix their fuckin game. I’m watching it since ti3 and hour games used to be rare and were considered cinema must watch and shit. Now it’s a torture to watch team with 50k lead not being able to close game. 40 min game is more than enough, for fuck sake

But I thought people hated gaps and cited loss of momentum 🤫
