Nix criticized the setup for The International 2024

Streamer and content maker Aleksandr Nix Levin shared his thoughts and frustrations about the upcoming The International 2024 during a personal broadcast. He also noted that he doesn't feel any celebration before the upcoming event.

Generally for me there is no celebration before TI. For me, TI is just like any other online tournament. I think there was even more hype before Riyadh. If we've come to the point where Streamers Battle is more hype than TI, that's sad

To all, Nix discussed the group stage of the tournament and added that viewers might find it boring because no teams will be eliminated during this phase

I just don’t understand the logic behind creating groups where no teams are eliminated. Why would anyone want to watch that? To put it in perspective, these are best-of-2 groups where no teams get eliminated. Why not use the Swiss system instead? It’s not about the prize money

Earlier, CyberScore.live reported that NS was surprised by Valve's approach to The International 2024.
