Dota 2 world up in arms after Valve lets B8 compete despite travel rulings
Ukrainian Dota 2 team B8 found themselves stranded in Europe due to travel restrictions, unable to return to North America to compete in the Dota Pro Circuit. However, due to “unforeseen circumstances,” Valve granted B8 an exception, allowing the team to participate in the NA DPC from their current location in Europe.
This decision has divided the Dota 2 community since it contradicted a longstanding rule that prohibits teams from playing in a region other than the one they’re competing in.
