Ever since major eSports events, such as The International, were suspended this year, the DOTA 2 eSports scene has been watching its slow demise. With no proper response from Valve regarding lacking events, many professional teams and loyal fans have been left feeling frustrated and uncertain about their futures. Epic Esports hopes that with this top-tier tournament, fans’ excitement will be ignited once again, and they come to enjoy yet another event as the ESL One Germany draw to a close.
