Fans demand the Last Chance
The Dota 2 fan community has become concerned about the lack of information regarding Last Chance qualification for The International 2023. User chenwasraped on Reddit posted his appeal to Valve, demanding an additional qualifying round for the championship. Thousands of users have already joined the demand.
In his post, he notes that the additional qualification will allow promising teams to qualify for The International. In his opinion, many don't get to the year's main tournament due to the unfair distribution of slots to the majors between the regions. The post also recalled that The International 2022 saw 2 teams qualify at the Top-3 at once after the Last Chance qualification. In addition, the author noted that this stage could fill the gap between the last major season and The International itself.
Recall that Valve announced The International 2023 during the last day of the ESL One Berlin Major 2023. The championship takes place from October 14 to 29 in Seattle, USA.
