One of the most eSports tournament was expected to happen in August 2020 in Stockholm, Sweden. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The International was canceled and no dates are chosen to have the event yet. With a difficult 2020 with social distancing, it would be impossible to have this big eSports championship live open for the public.

While many other esports tournaments are moving online, Valve Corporation - the management group behind "The International" didn't show any interest in this option. The problem is that there is no way to have a date for the event now, and move "The International" online is the best option.
This esports competition is taking the money prizes to the next level. In the 2019 edition, in China, the prize was over $34 million dollars. A share of the cash prize is crowdfunded - the players' community contributes through in-play buy-ins.
While the tournament is on hold, many other eSports in India are happening normally online. We can see hundreds of competitions of any size with different video games: 8 ball pool, Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL, and the most popular video game in India: Pugb Mobile. India is innovating the eSports scene by adopting the gameplay in mobile devices. Different than the rest of the world, competitions using desktop computers are going down in popularity.
Analyzing all these new trends in esports tournaments, we can conclude that all events must move online from now on. It will be difficult to have a live event open for the public in a near future.
