Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov believes that Valve broke their own records for a long time by increasing the prize pool of The International every year, but this situation could not last forever.

The Team Spirit manager shared his opinion on twitch .

“So Valve back when they stopped releasing Battle Pass said that in general, Int is Int, and they're happy with everything now. I mean, they overheated in the moment. There was a theme that they were breaking their own record for prize money every year - that can't go on indefinitely.”

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov believes that Valve did the right thing in general, but the developers should not have changed the trend too drastically, letting the situation take its course. Team Spirit manager believes that the company should have approached the change of the TI format more rationally.

“There have already been a million discussions on this topic. And I've already answered that Valve's only problem is that they did it too abruptly, too quickly, and without much consideration. It should have been done differently.”

Recall that earlier Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov commented on the refusal of a number of teams to participate in the upcoming DreamLeague 26 tournament.
