Offering a record $34 million in prizing, Valve officials announced that The International 2020 would take place in Stockholm, to mark the first European TI since the first International that was held in Cologne. This year’s event saw Team OG walk away the winners with over $15 million in winnings and marking the first time that The International has been won back to back. The Washington Post reports that some partners of the Echo Fox franchise lost their bid for a temporary restraining order against Rick Fox in a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday with the court filing claiming that Fox had gone against the wishes of his partners in the actions he took with the esports organization. The Washington Post said eight partners sent a letter to Fox on Thursday night and accused him of "willful, wanton, and intentionally destructive efforts towards the Partnership" and said Fox was responsible for the organization's fall from a so-called valuation of $150 million 10 months ago to $31 million today. "These are all lies, and this is collusion on the part of [business partners] Amit and Stratton to create the narrative they need to remove me from the control of the company that we started," Fox said in a phone interview with the Post on Thursday evening.
