Why would they screw the teams over by changing the rules of the game when the TI in in a few months?
To change the game and make it so it's about pure skill, not exploiting stale, tiresome and formulaic forms of victory which keeps happening in this current iteration of dota 2 (PL + KotL, Naix + LD, Mag + Gyro/whatever).
It will also make it really interesting when teams pull out pocket strats to counter what will most likely be popular at that time of the game (TI2 had clutch jugger+enigma by na'vi to counter really bullshit wombo combo that was tide ds naga). There will most likely be similar underdog heros who become, well, the hero of the tournament. Of course, there will also be an OP hero that the teams will most likely exploit (i'm thinking Silencer core will become very popular and annoying as shit to play against).
