Valve cancels 4th Minor and Major

Valve
Cancels Next Minor and Major


The writing was on the wall. Last week, Valve and ESL announced that they would postpone the Los Angeles Major, originally scheduled to start today, March 15th. Before, and after, that announcement a myriad of other esports events havea been canceled. With two DPC tournaments set to take place during what, in the west, could very well be the peak of COVID-19 infection rates cancelation was definintely in the back of everyones mind.

Today Valve posted two tweets, acknowledging the problematic nature of holding an international tournament during a pandemic and officially announcing the cancelation of (Wiki)OGA Dota PIT Minor 2020 and the (Wiki)EPICENTER Major.



In the tweets, Valve also confirms that there is a possibility that the last Minor and Major of the season, both scheduled to take place in June, could be canceled.

While the possible cancelation of the June Minor and Major is only mentioned in passing, that could very well be the biggest part of the update. If the rest of this DPC season were to be canceled, teams like PSG.LGD, Newbee, OG and Team Nigma would be outside of the current top 12, meaning they would have to compete in their individual regions for the one spot. All four of those teams have a huge fanbase and are good enough to make it to the main tournament but without action from Valve, some of them could be forced to stay at home.

It's not officially canceled. The official statement said that it's postponed for now and there hasn't been any movement on that front, afaik.

We just have to say it: There's a better-than-even chance that TI is dusted.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

The fear of the virus has killed more people than the virus itself, as there is no greater fear than fear itself. One may say, that the virus never won the day, as people decided to kill their own spirit before the virus could. They once said, "The show must go on...", but the curtain was lowered and the fat Lady sang her last tune.

There goes the whole point system. If there will be a TI, valve will have to change the way teams qualify you cant make a ranking system out of two events.
