Game publisher Valve has announced that Dota 2’s The International 10 (TI10) will be held in October this year in Bucharest, Romania.
The rescheduling comes after the Swedish Sports Federation voted not to accept esports into its federation, thus resulting in The International not being classified as an elite sporting event in the country. This meant that any visa applications would not be automatically approved for players outside of the EU.
In the announcement, it was revealed that TI10’s group stage will run from October 7th to October 10th, with the Main Stage kicking off on October 12th.
