Dota 2 Singapore Major will be played without fans
PGL confirms that Singapore Major, the first Dota 2 tournament in over a year, will be played "without fans in attendance." Singapore Major will see the likes of Team Liquid, Fnatic, and Evil Geniuses fight it out for a slice of the $500,000 prize pool.
While the event is a good sign for the re-emergence of offline esports as more countries begin to recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, PGL wants to make sure Singapore Major is as safe as possible.
The tournament takes place between March 27 and April 4, and will be broadcast on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook - so fans don't have to worry about missing out on any action due to the lack of fans. "We will take all the measures needed to have a safe tournament in a healthy environment," says PGL's CEO Silviu Stroie in an official blog post.

Dota 2 fans find secret trailer for the Dragon's Blood Netflix anime
A group of keen-eyed Dota 2 fans have stumbled across a new, secret trailer for the Dragon's Blood Netflix anime. The show hits the streaming platform at the end of the month, so marketing has begun ramping up. People began to notice, though, that each of the four posters released hold part of a QR code.
If you put them together, you find an unlisted video on Netflix's YouTube channel that reveals Terrorblade is taking part in the show (below). The clip itself only lasts 15 seconds, but it does offer some teases as Terrorblade says that all we have to do is let him in.
Dota: Dragon's Blood also got a official story trailer more recently. That one follows Dragon Knight Davion on one of his hunts before everything goes awry. Mentions of newfound power pop up, and he can suddenly hear voices in his head - something to do with Terrorblade, perhaps? We also get a good look Mirana, who also has a role to play in the show.
