Delays looming over The International 2021 on opening day

After more than a year of missing in action due to the Coronavirus pandemic, The International is finally back for its 10th rendition and is perhaps the most hyped one.

Fans were eagerly waiting since the last The International in 2019 which ended in August 2019. But it was a rather unusual start as the opening day games have been delayed by more than an hour.

Fans tuned in to watch the cast at the announced time but due to technical issues, the games could not be started at the said time.

Earlier this week it was announced that The International 10 would be held without a crowd and all the tickets had been refunded. This wasn’t received well by the fans as they had already traveled and booked hotels which couldn’t be refunded on such short notice.

The games were able to start after nearly two hours of the announced time with OG playing Alliance. The games are now live on DotA 2’s official YouTube channel.
