A minor event in DOTA Pro Circuit (DPC), the competition's 2019 edition featured an impressive prize pool of $300,000 and was hosted at Spaladium Arena in Split. Ninjas in Pyjamas won that edition. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, OGA shifted to an all-online format, with the inaugural tournament held back in May. For the purse of $60,000, nine teams participated in the event, which was won by Vici Gaming. Season 2 brought along an improved $170,000 prize pool and featured eight teams. Team Nigma took the top prize of $70,000 as the winner of OGA DOTA PIT Eu/CIS Season 2. 

DOTA 2's flagship event of the year, The International broke several records as it raised more than $36 million in the prize pool. The event was supposed to take place in the month of August at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. It was, however, postponed to 2021 due to the impact of the pandemic.
