MinD_ContRoL: Well I hope it grows and becomes competitive like other regions and we can see some new style of Dota.
KuroKy: We would love if they would add that in the DPC and we are gonna push for it too. Because it helped South America a lot. It’s what we believe. Now they have top tier teams. I think the same can happen in the MENA region.
In addition, members of the TI7 champion squad also mentioned what they would do after they retired.
Miracle-: I'll become a water bottle man. I’ll start giving water to the players, like a coach, but giving water bottles.
KuroKy: I am hopefully going to continue working on Nigma and do some other business, pretty much.
MinD_ContRoL: I want to make chocolate.
W33: I’ll probably just, I don’t know, go into real estate, I guess.
