Virus (France) Replaces LGD (China) on the International

Virus from France

Valve has just made a changes regarding to the International participants since LGD won’t be able to attend this very first DOTA 2 tournament. Even though IceFrog said that it was because of visa problem, but i think it also has something to do with the recent LGD internal dispute. And the lucky team who got that precious slot is Virus from France.

Quoting what IceFrog said this morning:

We reached out to LGD this morning to see if they would still be able to field a team at The International in 9 days. Given that a visa from China to Germany is measured in weeks and not days, they informed us that they cannot make it.
Virus, from France, has accepted our invitation to attend.

Well, they sure are lucky! And here are the latest confirmed teams.

- Europe: GGnet, OK.Nirvana.int
