The 7.25 Gameplay Update has been released https://dota2.com/patches/7.25
Given the high fluidity of the state of both the pandemic and geopolitical landscape, we will keep following the situation and decide how to approach the final major and minor of the season as the weeks progress.

Today's update introduces the Treasure of the Fallen Cinder, featuring eleven new item sets — including a rare set for Phoenix and very rare set for Wraith King. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESI-C0EUwAMvC60.png

The year will be divided in 3 seasons. Each season will be composed of 6 regional leagues, leading into a Major with the best teams in the world. The Dota year will conclude, as usual, with The International.
Regional Leagues:
Each of the six leagues will feature a prize pool of USD 280,000 per season.
