Capitalist: Valve held a meeting with teams
Dota 2 caster and analyst Austin "Capitalist" Walsh revealed on the Side Pull podcast that Valve talked with teams and discussed cancelling the Major.
Valve representatives talked with teams. The caster doesn't know the details, but it went well. They finally started communicating and really talked to the teams. It is a lot better than it was before. His guess is that Valve is deciding what to do with the Major, whether to cancel the tournament or hold it online. The main thing is that Valve has really talked to the teams. He was very happy to hear about this because the main complaint of the community was the lack of communication.
Last week Valve announced the cancellation of the Winter Major, citing the difficult situation with the new strain of the coronavirus, Omicron. After the community reacted negatively to the news, the developer promised to come up with a way to hold the winter major.
Initially, the Winter Major was to take place on February 17-27, 2022. The tournament's prize pool was $500,000 and 690 DPC points.
