PGL CEO Silviu Stroie spoke about their organization’s role as the host of the event. His statement reads as:
“DOTA 2 has a lot of fans in the US, and Arlington has a perfect location for tournaments of this caliber: Esports Stadium. We are fortunate to be back in North America with another Major after Boston. We love to run events in the USA, and we have wonderful memories from 2016: it was a great tournament, and the fans were fantastic. Having a tremendous tournament with DOTA 2 enthusiasts in the stands after a long time will be great!”
North American fans last saw a Major event way back in 2016. It was the Boston Major where TI8 and TI9 champions OG won the tournament.
