Streamer Ilya "ALOHADANCE" Korobkin shared his thoughts on the development of Dota 2, suggesting that Valve should involve professional esports players in the process of creating updates. He believes this would provide valuable insights and bring interesting mechanics into the game.
"How can people create updates that make you want to quit playing as soon as you log in? They must be crazy. Sitting there in their office... A month ago, RAMZES said, 'Give me two weeks, and I'll make an awesome patch.' I believe him. I know it would be that way. Let RAMZES make a patch. It would be a proper update," asserted Ilya "ALOHADANCE" Korobkin.
"In the past, they consulted with pro players about patches. At least a little. During the first TI, they consulted with players like Dendi. Why can't good players be given a test patch? They should be brought into the offices, introduced to the nuances, and asked for fantastic ideas. I just don't get it. It's a really cool idea. It’s not hard to come up with," he added.
Previously, streamer Alexander "VooDooSh" Shalchinov explained why ALOHADANCE couldn't attend the BetBoom poker tournament. According to him, it was financially unfeasible. Korobkin requested a large fee, and the business-class flight from Canada to Cyprus would have been too expensive.
