Analyst Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov speculated on when Valve might release Ringmaster in Dota 2. He suggested that the hero would appear in the game along with the compendium for The International 2024.
"My theory is that Valve will release Ringmaster when they add the compendium. They will probably embed some Immortal set in the compendium to collect the dough, and everyone will be happy."
"Right now, our timing is such that the third act of 'The Fallen Crown' has been released, and the fourth will likely come out after TI13. There's a big gap since the third act has been going on since June 39. So they need to fill that gap with something. The compendium and hero fit perfectly in this interval, a month before TI," expressed Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov.
Valve announced Ringmaster on the final day of The International 2023. The developers promised to release the hero in 2024. They did not comment on why the character had not yet appeared in the game.
Earlier, NS evaluated the BetBoom Team's play at the Riyadh Masters 2024. He believes the team should have kept Ivan "Pure~" Moskalenko.
