Alan 'Nahaz' Bester announced that he will not be invited to The International 6, despite his participation at all major tournaments this year.
Nahaz began making statistics about Dota since 2012 but he found himself in the spotlight as a Dota 2 statistician, host and panelist only recently. He provided statistics and analysis for ESL One Frankfurt, The International 5, The Manila Major and The Frankfurt Major, showing his talent and energy to engage the audience with comprehensive information. Also, Nahaz is well known for his popular series on Youtube, Stats Don't Lie in which he presents the tournaments and his prediction (which every compendium owner is waiting for). Besides being one of the most important Dota 2 statisticians, Alan is a Professor of Economics at the University of Western Ontario, in Canada.
Despite the professionalism he displayed during all the events he attended, Valve seems to have decided to not include him on the talent list this year to cover the grand event that will take place in August, from the 8th to 13th. Even though he's not invited, he specifies in his tweet that he will still be in Seattle, enjoying the show in KeyArena.
The list of invited talents has not been officially released yet, so it remains to be seen who Valve is thinking about.
