Because of the Pandemic that is the Covid-19, many major events, including Dota 2 Tournaments, have been postponed. This was a bold move but a right one because the safety of the players, coaches, attendees, and ESL staff must come first. The developments have been a concern to many fans on what would be the future of this year’s DPC tournaments.
Today, ESL announced that ESL One Los Angeles will still push through and will be fully transformed into online tournaments. ESL has vowed to cater to the fans the best possible Dota 2 action amidst this difficult time. They have yet to post the final tournament schedules and how the ticket refund method would work.
This is a good move for ESL following the successful WePlay Charity Event, which is also an online tournament which is dedicated to raising funds that will be used to help aid efforts to Battle Covid-19. This is a testament that a tournament can be successful even if it is held online considering the number of fans Dota 2 has. To quote Toby Dawson, “LAN turns online – Nothing can stop the DOTA2”.
