Peter "ppd" Dager, the champion of The International 2015, shared his thoughts on X regarding the announcement of the ban on in-game advertising at The International 2024.
He expressed his support for Valve's firm stance, stating that he is entirely in favour of esports becoming more modest and Dota returning to its roots and the times of enthusiasts. He also mentioned that money from the Middle East would become even more critical but believes this trend will end relatively soon.
The International 2024 will take place from 4 to 15 September in Copenhagen, with 16 teams competing for a base prize pool of $1.6 million.
