they were trying to keep it out of america for the time being i thought
What is the negative impact this particular decision has on you?
Just the realization that corporate America strikes again and that local taxes are paying for something useless instead of the local economy. Yes, this has a potential to have a little boom, but it's a gamble.
Yeah, and unfortunately there's at least 2 cities out there to start bidding and offering the moon at tax payer's expense, all so a big company can save some money.
TI8 drew in 52.8 million viewers, so TI9 would have easily eclipsed that

Sounds like bullshit. But yeah I was looking at the peak viewers during the finals, much like the Super Bowl and the ESC. Even then if you take the complete tournament with questionable methodology and compare it to just the finals, it's not even (close to) half.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do with either of these posts

As world's best Dota 2 players duke it out at The International championships here businesses are also fighting for share of tourism dollars
I was about to point it outIn recent years there have actually been a lot fewer cities making bids for the Olympics because hosting the games often results in a net loss. Rio lost $2 billion on the last Summer games. Sochi made a profit, but it was only a 0.1% return on investment. That's worse than what I get in my checking account.

Kinda surprised that people usually forget that the first International was held in Cologne, Germany during the 2011 Gamescom.
I know they were never included but this just cements that they will never be.
Let me try a different angle: why do you think they were never included?
