DOTA 2 Team Disqualified After Fake COVID-19 Test
European DOTA is back in the spotlight for another faux pas after a team called Burjui that was participating in a Dreamhack event was found to have submitted a fake COVID-19 test that falsely stated that one of their players had COVID, when it was in fact a forged result. In an announcement by Dreamhack, the tournament organizers revealed that the team conspired to submit a fake medical document to skirt a rule that was in place about player substitutions; the Dreamhack league play allowed for a substitute player to play in four matches throughout the year, and Burjui had already used up their four matches that the sub player was able to play. A player with COVID 19 would have constituted a “special circumstance” which is how they would have skirted that four game sub rule.
Fortnite Leaks Confirms Street Fighter Skins Coming Soon

CDL Announces Super Week Schedule Following Weather Postponements
The wild winter storms tearing through Texas have put NA esports competitions into chaos over the past two weeks, leaving many players and orgs without power or reliable internet.
