Valve denied two more Dota Pro Circuit 2019/20 tournaments. Epicenter Major and OGA Pit Minor will not be held because of coronavirus pandemia. Epicenter was scheduled for May 2-10 in Moscow and OGA Pit Minor should have been played in Croatian Split on April 23-26. Earlier this month Valve and ESL denied the third major of the season ESL One Los Angeles. Both tournament operator and Dota 2 developer are looking for the possibility of hosting the event.
As a result, there are only two DPC tournaments still scheduled in the current season, ONE Esports Singapore Major and unannounced Minor. It is to be noticed that ONE Esports already denied their non-DPC event in Jakarta. The last standing tournament for the upcoming future is ESL One Birmingham scheduled for May 26-31.
