The ESL One Los Angeles Dota 2 Major was postponed Thursday due to the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19.
“While we were very excited to bring the first ever Dota 2 Major to Los Angeles, the safety and well-being of our players, attendees, coaches, partners and ESL staff must come first,” stated ESL’s official Twitter account.
The event had been scheduled for March 20-22.
“We are working closely with Valve to determine a new time and location for the Major,” ESL posted, adding that ticket holders will receive refunds.
