EPICENTER Major 2020 - Info
[COVID-19 Update] On 16 March, VALVE announced that they canceled the EPICENTER Major 2020, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19).
EPICENTER 2020 Dota 2 Major is the fourth major tournament in Dota Pro Circuit Season 2019/ 2020, and one of the last chances to earn those cherished points for the trip to the main tournament of the year - TI2020.
EPICENTER is one of the vital tournaments for CIS fans, and this is an excellent opportunity for Russians to see their favorite teams and players at their home stadium. EPICENTER 2020 is the third time that Epic Esports Events have held a Dota 2 Major tournament in Moscow. Each time since it has been a perfect show with thrilling special effects.
In previous year Vici Gaming and Team Liquid gave us a fantastic Grand Final with a dramatic ending. Vici Gaming may have been stronger and received the trophy of champions, but we still remember that Team Liquid is the only team who has been in every Grand Final of each EPICENTER and was a winner in both 2016 and 2017.
