The most anticipated esports tournaments this year
The last few years were great for all of us in esports. We attended some amazing events, laughed and cried, supported our teams, and shared some unforgettable memories. We can’t wait for all the esports events in 2020!
Some time ago, people were arguing if esports is a real sport. The last few years proved that it is. Now we look forward to 2020 and what it will bring us.
Here are the most significant and the most anticipated esports events of the year!
This is 2020 in esports.
The International (Dota 2)
The International 2019 became the tournament with the biggest prize pool in the history of esports. As you know 25% of the proceeds of all Battle Pass sales go to The International prize pool. That’s one of the reasons why every year the numbers are bigger.
Where. This year The International will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, and will follow the previous year format.
When. August 18 – 23, 2020
