Though not quite The International, international Dota is back on the menu after major changes made to the DPC. There’s nothing like a global pandemic to shatter long-held perceptions, and by now even the bigwigs at Bellevue must be thinking TI is too big for its own good rather than simply just too big to fail.

However, with vaccines rolling out gradually across many countries, including the United States, we are slowly but steadily regaining the normal pace.
