No Dota and they invited fucking syndicate back?

Damn, now good. Looks like any non-A-tier tournament is now even more sidelined than they used to be. Still, seems the sort of thing which was the case last year, that Blink people pretty much ran the tournament and insomnia just made noise about it, remains the case, but with a bit less focus still (no stage notably). Hard to predict what kind of quality will come out of this:
Community Prize tournaments are for our games that have a core community who attend every Insomnia, but don’t have the numbers to reach headline status. Rather than remove tournaments, as we’ve done in the past, we wanted to continue supporting these communities in a way that also opened them up for the UK esports community to get more involved than ever before. These will not have stage finals, or official Multiplay streams, but instead are open to you to stream! We’ll be opening an application form where we’ll give you an official Insomnia asset pack, access to our tournament admins for easy updates, a special tag in the event Discord so players know who you are, links to your stream from our tournament page, and scheduled social media announcements driving new viewers directly to your stream.
I am, at any rate, rather disappointed
