It's been a strange ride for The International 2021. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:total prize pool of $40 million has been the largest one to date. It was earlier set to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, however 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:permission was later denied by the Swedish Sports Federation who v🧸oted not to accept esports into the sports federation.
It was later announced that The International would be held in front of a live audience in Bucharest's Arena Nationala. But only days before the tournament, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Valve halted ticket purchase🎃s and issued refunds due to a spike in the city's Covid cases. To mitigate the awkwardness of a silent arena Valve gave online viewers the option of "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spectator Cheering",⛄ however the feature was removed after rec🤪eiving criticism from fans.
