The pool prize is more than 40 million USD and the 18 teams will fiercely fight for the big pot, but also the trophy: Aegis of Champions.
Bucharest was chosen by the organizers at the last minute, after Stockholm, the initial city picked up for the tournament, failed to meet the organizers’ demands. Basically, Sweden Sports Federation voted for the e-gamers not to be recognized as sports players, thus making it more difficult for the DOTA 2 community to get visas for the event.

If you go to Bucharest for the DOTA 2 games, you will also be able to discover a city full of attractions for tourists. The biggest city in Romania, also the capital of the country, hosts around 1.8 million inhabitants in the main area, but around 2.2 million if you consider the outskirts.
Bucharest was once called the Little Paris The city resembles the French Capital up to a point. Bucharest Arc of Triumph definitely reminds you of Paris, but you can also visit the largest civilian building in the world, now the Palace of Parliament, or the biggest Orthodox Cathedral in the world: The Romanian Cathedral, now in construction. Or, maybe, you just pick up your own Bucharest attractions to visit.
Anyway, if you would also like to discover Bucharest while in the city for TI10, you have to know that some enthusiastic locals thought of developing a project to help all foreign tourists in Bucharest discover the city: Visit Bucharest Today! It comes as a website or an Android app. Until October, it will be also available for the Appstore as well.
Bucharest is one of the safest cities in Europe
The criminality rate in Bucharest is among the lowest across Europe. It didn’t mean you have to be totally careless, though, but it’s good to know that Bucharest, and Romania, in general, are safe.
If anything happens, immediately call 112. This is the European emergency number and by dialing it you can access all the emergency services – health, police, or firefighters.
If you don’t have access to a phone, address any citizen on the street. Bucharest is among the top European cities when it comes to the English speaking level and you can address the majority of the locals in English. They’ll help you find your wait out of the situation, whether you’re lost or you have any sort of problem.
Romania is the country with the cheapest cost for food in Europe and the cheapest broad band internet
This is probably one of the best news for any DOTA 2 fan or e-gamer out there. The cheap food pricing and the cost for broadband internet make Romania the best possible country for a large venue of e-gamers like this event.
Also, locals developed a certain attraction for the fast-food chains, such as McDonald’s or KFC. This has changed Bucharest over the past years and you can literally find one fast-food shop at any corner.
Still, if you want to try something special, go to one of the best Pancake House in Bucharest or trying some local food at Caru’ cu Bere.
The speed of the broadband internet makes Romania an attractive country for digital nomads from all over the world.
The International 10 DOTA 2 event is hosted on National Arena – the largest stadium in the country
Actually, Bucharest hosts the second major tournament this year after this summer it organized four games in the UEFA EURO 2020 football tournament. Also postponed from 2020, the football tournament games were a success for the Romanian capital and the football fans visiting Bucharest enjoyed their stay. This also means that Bucharest definitely has the capacity to organize major international events of this kind.
The capacity of the stadium is 53,329 total attendees, but information regarding tickets available is still to be offered by the organizers. Anyway, it is the first time after the pandemic when a live audience will attend the DOTA 2 final tournament.
The International 10 DOTA 2 Tournament is definitely going to take advantage of one nice feature of the stadium: it has a retractable roof, able to cover the stadium entirely. Thus, the spectators and the players will be properly sheltered in case of bad weather.
The stadium is not in the center of the city, but the public transport in Bucharest offers lots of available options for DOTA 2 fans to get to the venue easily. One can choose between the subway, trolleybuses, buses, or even trams to get to the stadium from any point in Bucharest.
