For the Dota 2 bettors and fans there, the bomb has been dropped by Valve already and this is about the ending of the DPC points for this season. This is going to be the last TI prior to the DPC points requirement system.
Here are the snippets about the important details about their latest blog release about it:
[...]
When it came to that one limited goal, we succeeded. The DPC demystified the invitation criteria, and made it easier for pros to understand their path to The International. Unfortunately, the DPC brought with it a set of rules and regulations, and those have come with a cost that’s become clearer to us over time: The world of competitive Dota has grown less exciting, less varied, and ultimately much less fun.
By existing as the only official league, the DPC has a stranglehold on the event calendar for the year and what it's filled with. Event organizers are innovating less, because that's effectively what we've been asking them to do: Instead of competing for viewers and players by producing compelling and inventive tournaments, organizers now compete for compliance with Valve’s long list of rigid requirements (team count, broadcast languages, event format, and more).

It would be too simplistic to say that the slow drift of the Dota competitive scene away from this focus on fun and creativity towards the sterile, near-monoculture of today is entirely the fault of the DPC, but the DPC has generated significant pressure and incentives that led us here. The Dota community has decades of grassroots experience coming up with innovative and entertaining events, and right now the DPC is getting in the way.
With that in mind, we're ending the Dota Pro Circuit: 2023 will be the final DPC season.
Competitive Dota predates the DPC by many years and will continue long after. The International will continue as well — we're already working on The International 2024, and next year we'll be talking more about how invitations to that event will work. But for now, we're going to return our focus to this year's event — which, unbelievably, is only four short weeks away.
It's like an ending era but this is also a sign for a new beginning. After the TI12, for sure that they're going to release the new format on how to get invited for the TI.

) because no matter how hard each team tries to defeat them , their fighting style and team fights are simply unstoppable. On the other matter , TSM had a splendid tournament and it was about time for them to shine again on a stage because they had 3 bad majors where they got eliminated since group stages...
