STATEMENT
Valve posted an update earlier this week stating, “In following how the pandemic has been developing globally, the recent increase in the unpredictability of COVID-19 count means we can’t yet commit to new dates for T|10 and the DPC. We share your eagerness and passion in returning to these events, and will announce updates as soon as we can.”
After T|10 postponed due the pandemic, there is no information that what will be the future of the International 11. If T|10 will not be conducted before next summer then there is a chance that players will not be able to get the Next year Battle Pass.
