Stray228: “I really [don’t care] who wins TI. I’m just going to be at the arena, watch Dotka and do some shopping.”

Streamer Oleg stray228 Bocharov said that he does not follow The International Dota 2 as closely as before, but will still attend the tournament in Shanghai. According to him, the main reason for the trip will be the atmosphere of the championship, and not the fight for the title.

[In the chat: “Oleg, you said that you don’t watch TI, and it has ceased to interest you.”] This is true, but there will be an atmosphere in Shanghai. I [don’t] care about TI, I’m just going for the atmosphere of Shanghai TI, because I was at TI in 2019 in Shanghai. I don't really care who wins it. I'm just going to be at the arena, watch Dotka and do some shopping. That is, I'm going there just to relax.

The International 2026 will take place from August 13 to 23 in Shanghai, China. 16 teams will participate in the tournament, the starting prize pool is set at $1.6 million. It can be increased through sales of the Battle Pass if Valve releases it.
