Valve Corporation announced Wednesday that The International 10 – Dota 2 Championships will be held this October in Bucharest, Romania. T10 was set to take place in Sweden in August, but Valve announced last month that it would not be hosting the event in the country because the Swedish Sports Federation voted not to accept esports making players ineligible for waivers on visas.
The International was originally planned to take place in Sweden in 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are grateful for the partnership we have formed with Romania and the city of Bucharest, and very much look forward to gathering with the global Dota 2 community, both in-person and virtually, to celebrate the elite players and amazing fandom at The International. Prepare yourselves,” Valve said in a statement At long last, the battle begins.”
