Team Aster was the first team to record a positive COVID test while training in Bucharest ahead of The International 10.  All 10 members of Aster, including the players, coach, manager, and their accompanying video team tested positive last week. Valve and tournament organizer PGL did implement a workable solution to allow players to compete even while in self-quarantine, but Aster decided to play things safe.  Even though the symptoms for the entire team have been steadily improving, management made the decision to play the group stage for TI10 with

NICKMERCS will remain on Twitch as part of his new streaming contract with the platform, the 30-year-old announced today.  NICKMERCS’ hiatus from streaming and ominous tweet regarding a “big announcement” caused rumors to swirl around his return.

VALORANT Patch 3.07 is set to join the game, and while it’s not as significant as Patch 3.06, it will still introduce a few interesting changes. Players will be able to “drop-in-drop-out” of VALORANT’s Deathmatch mode without penalty, Viper’s wall will apply instant decay to “high-flying” agents, and several issues causing the game to crash will be resolved.  One of the biggest changes in Patch 3.07 is the removal of the penalty for leaving Deathmatch early. Many players use this mode to warm up before games and committing to a full

Valve was facing potential disaster just days ahead of The International 10, with multiple teams recording positive COVID tests and Romania cracking down on the disease with new local regulations.  The company and tournament organizer PGL already canceled in-person audience attendance for the event, but they have found a workable solution to allow players to compete even when needing to self-quarantine.  According to posts from Team Aster and Dota 2 community everyman Wykrhm Reddy, teams that have players who record positive COVID tests will still be allowed to play in

Though most games have that one esports event where the most talented individuals clash for glory, not many of them can compete with the prize pool of Dota 2’s The International (TI).

With the tournament approaching, news started
