COVID-infected players are allowed to play at The International 10. This was announced by influencer and community man Wykrhm Reddy in his Twitter.
According to Wykrhm, Valve decided to allow infected players to play from their isolated rooms using the Internet connection. Also Wykrhm noted that Valve will create all conditions for the convenience of players, providing all the necessary equipment for the game. It means that the views can see the situation, when one team will be playing on the main arena stage, while the other will be sitting in their isolated practice rooms.
Team Aster and others that tested positive for COVID will be allowed to play TI10 over the internet from their isolation rooms that will be setup with the required equipment. #TI10 #Dota2
