Justin Bieber cancels The International 2022
Ihor MatusRecently it became known about the plans of the famous music artist Justin Bieber to perform in Singapore at the same venue where The International 2022 will be held.
Dota 2 fans and Justin Bieber will have the best week in October, as it will include the playoff stage of the Dota 2 main tournament and the performance of the pop star.
Bieber's "Justice" concert will take place at Singapore's National Stadium on October 25.
The Singapore National Stadium staff will have to take several as before the concert they will need to dismantle the stage for The International 2022, then assemble the stage for Justin Bieber, and then dismantle it and assemble the venue for The International 2022. This complicates the process of hosting a Dota 2 tournament and spends additional resources and time. Due to the circumstances, the playoffs at The International 2022 will have a break between October 24 and 28.
The top 4 teams will continue their journey for The International 2022 title on October 29th. Such an experience will be quite unusual and new in the field of competitive Dota 2. Usually, no one takes such long breaks.
For those who are interested in the question regarding the likelihood of Justin Bieber appearing at The International 2022, there is an answer. Pop stars should not be in this Dota 2 championship. The events will take place in the same place, but at different times.
However, there is a possibility that Valve will suddenly invite Bieber to a Dota 2 event. The developers of Dota 2 have repeatedly invited various musical artists in the likeness of what Riot Games do in their League of Legends tournaments.
Earlier, The International was visited by famous violinist Lindsey Stirling and DJ Deadmau5.
