Good day! Now we can watch only online tournaments, but it is also very interesting. Hope International will be in 2021! By the way if you want to buy dota 2 account, I can recommend Z3ddota services for this purpose! These guys are really professionals.

Sadly it might get cancelled if the virus persist after all they wouldn't risk getting players sick. If ever the virus is clear and we might expect vaccines soon. In my perspective OG and Secret are my favorites right now, as Nigma and Tnc they went downhill perhaps they're still in the mood of lossing excitement in a match after becoming champions. But hopefully the virus is cleared so we can also once again enjoy betting games and winning profits.

Yes, Valve will not allow this to happen again. They have allowed this to one CS:GO event, yes, only staffs, players and teams were inside the event and there were no fans because of the circumstances that they've faced.

With the said new mechanics about the regionals, it's okay to conduct online matches and no problem with those casters and broadcasts because there are a lot of companies that do cover it. But the championship? if you mean about major or the biggest event for Dota 2 which is TI, I think it they will just move the date.

I hope that by the time of the TI the virus epidemic will be over and VALVE will not have to choose between moving the championship and holding it without spectators.
Although I stopped playing games a long time ago, I continue to watch major gaming Championships such as TI.
If you have been a player since Dota(1) old days, you'll still a fan of it and even wanting to watch newer players and teams compete with each other. The hype that it's getting because of the yearly increase for the prize pool especially for the champions makes everyone wanting to watch the tournament.

We don't have any other wish but to see this pandemic stop and be gone as soon as possible.

I agree, especially when the bar for this year's event is incredibly high. The tournament continuing without the audience, the ambiance, the competitiveness and support of the fans will be very different and will be a disappointment. With OG having a new line up makes the tournament really exciting. We can never predict if the lineup has the connection they previously have. Dota 2 is unpredictable.

Will OG lift the aegis again? Damn it's hard to predict.
There's a chance for OG's new roster but not as high if we do compare it on older one where ana and Ceb is still there.Current OG line up is strong
but it would take for a while for them to synchronize or build that team up since new members had been add up.Yeah they have proven out their
skills on recent game but we know that games that do happen on TI is entirely different.Its true that everything is very unpredictable but having some
analysis on a teams past game performance you can really make your own choices depending on how you do view from it.

It really sucks for a main event on having no crowd and i agree on past comments that it would really be boring and no one will much preferred on that one.

We are still far away though but if isnt still get resolved on that time then they would surely move or re-schedule it.Seeing an international or main event without an audience is really a god damn boring thing to watch.

Well, I feel you, bro. I am also a player and I started at Dota All-stars. It is announced that the 4th major and minor tournaments of the DPC season will be canceled. That just means we are so close to being at The International now. Still, there is a major which is the LA Major and it was delayed because of the pandemic. Hope this stops at the end of April so we can start grinding for our Compendium after that. Really excited about the new rewards, items, sets and chat wheels for that. I hope they don't remove "Lakad Matatag" and "Ceeeeeebbb!" chat wheel in there.

TI10 would fall on Dates:Aug 18 - 23, 2020 on which we do have still 5 months before the event.This might be a little bit off topic but this recent news do give out some light for the current
Covid19 issue - https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200318_36/ . If this one would be the answer of this current pandemic issue then theres no worry about future postponement of these events.
Ive been a player of Dota for 8 years and ive been a solid fan when it comes to international.

This is really devastating especially for gamblers in Dota 2, less tournaments, less gambles.

Well, it is really sad. Not just Dota2 but other esports as well. For now, CSGO still has its ESL pro league 11 so I could still bet on that, just lost my bet I put in Complexity. Dota 2 on the other hand just finished their Summit 12 where Fnatic smashed OG. Seed, sadly I bet on OG seed. Further tournaments, as far as I know, are cancelled or postponed, so sad.

It would be better if the championship was not moved at all and arranged it without an audience in the hall. After all, most of the championship takes place online with a broadcast on YouTube. This would prevent the possibility of a virus infection and we would be able to place bets on our favorite teams.
Dead crown?

If the situation with the new flu virus develops on an increasing scale and there is a global pandemic, then you can bet whether this championship will happen at all or it will be canceled. However, as well as many other major public events.

if other popular events such as nba  ,nfl , and alike have been cancelled how much more this  ?

 i think itll also be cancelled because many people are also gathering if there are dota 2 events , we can see it when we are watching the stream or on the videos on youtube but they can always re schedule the game if ever the virus isnt really that active anymore but not these days because we all see that virus is still spreading strongly  .

almost everyday there are new cases all over the world and the death tolls also increase  .

It might not be on the likes of nba or nfl but esports is pretty big imho.Yes, it does really have also that big crowd when it comes to tournaments
like majors or minors specially on the international stuff.It would be just right if they would postponed such events and wont risk to continue
since they do know that they would really increase chances of spreading the virus if they do push through but on the image above it shows that
they do stop it for now on such event which is right.



 I think this is a hard decision for them but in doing this they are taking the safety of their players and everyone that will be present in that tournament, And yes they will surely lose money because of the cancelation but kudos to them for not thinking about the lost but the safety of everyone, COVID-19 is a serious Pandemic disease that will surely take a lot of toll of life if not taken any precautionary measures

The Tournament could be held some other time and I think it will still continue if this virus has passed, but the life that have lost because of the virus will surely not coming back at all, lets just all think of the positive things that may happen in the future.

Every sector or businesses now do really have that big loss when it comes to profit matters but nothing is more precious when we do talk human lives.
Its just right for them to stop operation or events to avoid more problems.Its just understandable that business is affect but that thing doesnt really matter
much for now.

It's kinda The International 10 is in the cliff if it will happen in this year since 4th Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) minor and major will be cancelled.
But it's still on the Valve's decision especially if there will be 5th or more minor/major DPC tournaments before the The International 10 will happen.
This is really devastating especially for gamblers in Dota 2, less tournaments, less gambles.
Another one got canceled.

See valve need to act early for the TI10 did they will continue or not, since they need preparing TI a few months before august mostly at may. What will happen if they keep continuing but went the date has come the tournament got canceled. Sure a lot people will lose money before we already buying a battle pass and valve could be losing a lot of money too since they need to pay for the stage and everything else.

With August just around the corner, I am excited with the upcoming The International 2020 in Sweden. This new meta will surely turn the table for the fights, because of the meta that was introduced at patch 7.23. Many people are rooting for OG to win again but OG.ana is out because he will pursue college. For me this is a very exciting way to do esports betting. I know that bets done in esports are sometimes done through paying item cosmetics to get much extravagant and expensive cosmetics, this window of oppurtunity is not new in this forum but I like to hear your thoughts.

What if Ana is just looking,testing and practicing for another surprising strategy again just like what he did with the IO carry last the International? it's a big one-time paycheck every TI and no need for him to participate the majors or minors because it has a bigger prize pool. And he can reason out about schools or other stuffs, so that the strategy won't be exposed? what if it's really like that the same with the past TIs?
He is out on his studies bro.
Here is the link: https://win.gg/news/3651/ana-out-of-og-for-rest-of-season-replacement-likely-coming-soon
Well then, good luck to his studies and looks like the season is stopped. Wyk has already announced on his FB page about the cancellation of the remaining major and minor tournaments for this year.

I hope that this Covid19 will be gone before the event because if you guys don't know, the ESL LA 2020 was postponed because of it.
I do hope bro that this pandemic won't cause the postponement of TI20. I hope things are going to go smooth sailing.
I guess we have to wait and see when this pandemic will end so that everything will go back to normal.

NBA already cancelled out games and other sports too due to corona virus so it isnt actually surprising that others would be affected as well.Its really sad to
think on whats currently happening out there where it do affects all sorts of things.We are already a few months ahead on upcoming TI10
and if there are no vaccine create on upcoming months then we should expect that it would happen the same when in talks of cancellation.

It would all depend on the progress, if this pandemic becomes worst as months go by then postponement is on high chance but lets not hope for the worst.

On ana, he's out for his studies which is imho right thing to be done before anything else.I do miss out their old OG roster which does really have that
high level of teamwork that cant easily be beaten up.

You should not forget that this tournament will be happening in Sweden. This tournament is returning to Europe for the first time after 2011 but what a pity that Europe is the 2nd highest place infected with Coronavirus. If the things don't become better in next couple of months, this tournament will be also postponed or cancelled just like many others.

I don't think OG would win this time due to Ana being out. But then again, Ana did the same thing twice when he prefers to be alone playing and keeps on coming back on OG right before TI. And I guess TNC had a good run recently after they achieved to be the first team to secure an invitation slot in TI, and their plays was good and even OG.n0tail predicted that they can win the major recently. But then again, it seems that I would be back on betting now that I could buy a lot of bitcoins to bet as its price were still low.

That surely is a spectacle for many fans that looking forward to watching how OG will play and there is a sure new strategy that he might show to us but unfortunately, I think this season is a hang time for ana.

Not just Ana but Jerax already called his retirement. Ceb on the other hand move to being coach again and giving way to new OG lineup. This is really amazing. 3 midlaners in OG, as I said they're like wanting to dominate each lane and supports do the roaming. It is really early for this thread but it is good since, with the pandemic on the run, we don't know what might happen. These pro players go from country to country, they are at risk with the tournaments happening.

Yup! Jerax has retired on 2020-01-26 but I think it is OK and to give other players the opportunity to give their shots, And I think that these are the latest teams OG had right now if this list is surely updated, and with the current situation of the virus right now players are more prone on getting infected so their safety is more important.



We will not know because the same thing was said last two years ago. The first TI they've became a champ, they also ran out of time looking for a carry and then Ana appears, the same goes last year. I remember that their carry replacement was Pajkatt and ILTW until Ana came back for the TI.

It seems that SumaiL is going to be the carry for OG right now but I still prefer Ana but because he is not available OG needs a carry and SumaiL stats seem good then there is no carry at all.  

Well, yes that should be expected for now that Ana will not be with them and that might be for real. But for the safety of all, staffs, players, coaches and fans, let's all hope together that this debacle might end as soon as possible.

I really want the outbreak to end as soon as possible myself but day by day it seems that it only getting really worse because there are some people that are stubborn to obey the rules and because of this, in my opinion, it will surely get even worse.

This year's the International will never be the same with the departure of Ceb from the active roster to Ana and JerAx's as well.  Perhaps Sumail and the gang could do something about OG's reign, and there doesn't seem to be any solid-stack team as of late since the conclusion of the recent Majors. With the threat of the COVID-19 still out and about, a few filler tournaments for DPC points might be cancelled, so there's a chance Valve might move the date, too.

Yeah, just like the other sports league I think they will be moving the date or might move on with The International so that they will be keeping the schedule in.

Some majors are still not being played and I think this is a problem since there are some players that are wanting to earn points to be invited to TI in Sweden. I hope it went well this month of April, these professional players are at risk with these games.

This corona virus/covid 19 is expected to be over for 3-5months only, since the The International 2020 is still on August, I think the only tournament will be postponed or cancelled are the Valve Major or Minor tournaments.
But even if it will not happen in August, the The International 10 will still happen for me, I'm positive on that and let's hope this corona virus will end as soon as possible.
Are you a psychic? where do you know the coronavirus would be over with 3-5months any resource can support that's estimation or its just your own speculation. The TI was held on august but for the raised prize tournament by compendium will be open by "May".

Each team also need to prepare their visa a few months before the "Main Tournament" was started, if the pandemic coronavirus still has a high case the government will be stop/extended a flight activity & visa issuance.

No more TI10 for this year's boys.

With the current condition of coronavirus, the TI Tournament would be canceled same happens like ESL Los Angeles. If they keep continue the tournament, a lot team from china will have problem with their team member since the activity of flight china & Americans stopped because of the corona.
This corona virus/covid 19 is expected to be over for 3-5months only, since the The International 2020 is still on August, I think the only tournament will be postponed or cancelled are the Valve Major or Minor tournaments.
But even if it will not happen in August, the The International 10 will still happen for me, I'm positive on that and let's hope this corona virus will end as soon as possible.

You could actually say that the roster of OG has reset, and other teams have a chance of ousting them. Remember the last two back to back TI's of OG, both of which used their roster for both years, which really dominated the scene. With the team lacking some core members, you could actually say that someone else winning is not impossible. It's like how the only thing backing up the support for OG winning again is their record for their wins in the past 2 years. Not saying that the current roster isn't good, it's just that, the story of OG was carried by those 5 after all. Without them being complete, it's like there's a lacking feeling for the team.

What if Ana is just looking,testing and practicing for another surprising strategy again just like what he did with the IO carry last the International? it's a big one-time paycheck every TI and no need for him to participate the majors or minors because it has a bigger prize pool. And he can reason out about schools or other stuffs, so that the strategy won't be exposed? what if it's really like that the same with the past TIs?

I hope that this Covid19 will be gone before the event because if you guys don't know, the ESL LA 2020 was postponed because of it.

That surely is a spectacle for many fans that looking forward to watching how OG will play and there is a sure new strategy that he might show to us but unfortunately, I think this season is a hang time for ana.
We will not know because the same thing was said last two years ago. The first TI they've became a champ, they also ran out of time looking for a carry and then Ana appears, the same goes last year. I remember that their carry replacement was Pajkatt and ILTW until Ana came back for the TI.

And with the Covid19 virus amides, let's all hope this season will not be postponed because certainly too many crowds are not really safe anymore and regard for the safety of all that is why it is have to do, but if this would surely let loose and the season will continue to expect a Team OG without Anathan.

Well, yes that should be expected for now that Ana will not be with them and that might be for real. But for the safety of all, staffs, players, coaches and fans, let's all hope together that this debacle might end as soon as possible.

When it comes to these times in terms of betting then i do only trust up some platforms when it comes to betting items or even with crypto.

https://gg.bet/en/betting
https://loot.bet/sport/esports

Haven't tried those but already heard them. We have some different threads here in forum that talks about dota 2 gamblings.
Which we also using some common sportsbook that focus on cryptocurrency for deposits in short cryptocurrency sportsbook just like sportsbet, nitrogen, playbetr, stake (which recently open their sports betting including eSports(dota2, csgo, lol, etc), etc.

@everyone, do you think the upcoming 2020 Dota 2 International will be affected because of this novel corona virus (covid19) problems?

This year's the International will never be the same with the departure of Ceb from the active roster to Ana and JerAx's as well.  Perhaps Sumail and the gang could do something about OG's reign, and there doesn't seem to be any solid-stack team as of late since the conclusion of the recent Majors. With the threat of the COVID-19 still out and about, a few filler tournaments for DPC points might be cancelled, so there's a chance Valve might move the date, too.

Sumail
Topson   
MidOne
Saksa   
N0tail

I cant deny that this roster is good but nothing can replace the original roster
where Ana,Ceb and Jerax is still on the team.Well, time flies by and good things comes to an end.

Not just Ana but Jerax already called his retirement. Ceb on the other hand move to being coach again and giving way to new OG lineup. This is really amazing. 3 midlaners in OG, as I said they're like wanting to dominate each lane and supports do the roaming. It is really early for this thread but it is good since, with the pandemic on the run, we don't know what might happen. These pro players go from country to country, they are at risk with the tournaments happening.

Is it too early to make a thread about TI 2020?
Also, due to the global spread of covid-19 the possibility of eSports event in the future might get cancelled if the virus wasn't condemned.

Anyways, me is rooting to OG with Sumail, it really makes the team OP. The aggressiveness of the team will definitely bring them again to a 3x TI champion. There are changes on the other team that I'm also looking forward. I like how they constantly change their strategy to each other just to gain the title of being a champion.

Im not really rooting that much for OG now but having Sumail on Pos1 is badass.

They are the defending champion, obviously, people would be looking at them right now how would they defend their title with a different lineup. I love Saksa's gameplay since it really fits OG's strat, being aggressive. And with these laners they have, they can leave one hero at the lane and dominate other lanes with the supports they have. Ana will not be back at TI10 so I know some fans are disappointed about it. Right now, I will be looking at TNC since they won back to back major titles and they are the one for sure being the invited team. Nigma will be also going with revenge on the development they had after TI9. PSGLGD also made their changes with the lineup so they are also to look out too. Other teams? Maybe EG, VG and Team Secret but I am not really expecting that much.

The next TI is still months away, in the the third quarter of the year. We are still in the first quarter right now. There may still be changes to the rosters of the teams. OG is of course the favorite this early even if Ana is out. That is because they have been the defending champion and the only team that grabbed the championship a couple of times. But, again, there are still so many things that could happen in between now and the next TI. In fact, we still cannot be sure which teams will make it to the TI 10. But this Sweden-held TI is definitely more exciting than the last one held in China.

This are good betting sites but if understood the OP correctly. Does any betting facilitate cryptocurrency as a means of payment instead of dota2 skins or what they call cosmetics. I am also a fan but I think esports betting with cryptocurrency do have a potential.
There are several sportsbook that offers cryptocurrency betting on esports some of them are betcoin, fairlay, nitrogensports, sportsbet, stake. You can also use lootbet afaik they accept bitcoin but if you're looking to bet with altcoins you have betcoin, sportsbet and stake.

I still don't have any clear favorite for this years TI since a lot of teams are somewhat struggling in the current patch and things could shift in the future once new updates come out after the major.

One of the largest events happens into the world of defense of the ancients 2 is the international and it is the annual event that the valve is making to gather to all of the top players came from a different country and also they are making a huge price pool by buying a lot of compendium levels or battle pass level so the player has an advantage or opportunity to have an exclusive item like immortals and sets of the heroes some of the higher levels they have a not tradable item like arcana that only for 250 levels above and by the changing of roosters and team for this season we are waiting for the epic comeback of the team nigma vs og but still ana will not play on this t.i so we are hoping that sumail and midone can carry again the team og, also the team secret are waiting for a good opportunity the king of majors.

This upcoming TI would really be not the same compared on previous years yet lots of players do changed up teams or simply have to see some new
rosters.Ive been following them on few minors and majors and i can say that those new teams is much more better.Im not
really rooting that much for OG now but having Sumail on Pos1 is badass.

With August just around the corner, I am excited with the upcoming The International 2020 in Sweden. This new meta will surely turn the table for the fights, because of the meta that was introduced at patch 7.23. Many people are rooting for OG to win again but OG.ana is out because he will pursue college. For me this is a very exciting way to do esports betting. I know that bets done in esports are sometimes done through paying item cosmetics to get much extravagant and expensive cosmetics, this window of oppurtunity is not new in this forum but I like to hear your thoughts.
