In fact, in April and May, Dr.Xiao (CEO of PerfectWorld.) applied to Valve to host this year's TI in Shanghai. And the Shanghai government also stated that it would fully support it. But Valve refused.
Pan «Ruru» Jie - CEO of LGD, confirmed this information:
Yes, the Shanghai government is willing to support the same level of LOL World Championship Series, but Valve said no to the proposal.
TI10 was originally scheduled to take place in Stockholm, Sweden in August 2020. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Valve to postpone the tournament. The DPC season is likely to resume in January/February 2021 with TI10 taking place in August 2021 in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, Valve also mentioned that they also have backup countries if the tournament cannot take place in Sweden.
