For the first time in forever, instead of an indoor stadium, this major will take place in the Ayana Estate. It is not every day that you see a major tournament in esports being hosted in a closed estate. While the entirety of the scenario is still unknown, fans are wondering how fan engagement will take place during matches.

Surely Valve has thought of some alternative or say better option. Because if there is one thing you cannot take away from esports professionals, that is the crowd. A  hearing crowd can turn the tide of games at a moment’s notice.
