The International 10 is finally happening and not even additional delays or moving countries are going to keep players from stepping onto Dota 2’s biggest stage.  Instead of taking place in Stockholm, Sweden in early August. TI10 will now be held at the Arena Nationala in Bucharest, Romania from Oct. 7 to 17.  This change in scenery and subsequent two-month delay for the event came several weeks after Valve said it was looking for “possible alternatives elsewhere in Europe” to host the event following a vote by the Swedish government

The destiny of the final direct invite to The International 10 sits squarely on Nigma’s shoulders after both TNC Predator and Team Spirit were eliminated from the WePlay Esports AniMajor.  Nigma is now the only team that can still earn a ticket to TI10, but in order to do so they will need to bounce back from a tight 2-1 loss to PSG.LGD that sent the final European team to the lower bracket.  The 12 teams at the end of the AniMajor that have the most Dota Pro Circuit points
