The 2019\/20 Dota Pro Circuit season is just around the corner, but several players and a couple of teams have announced they will skip the start of the season and the MDL Chengdu Major.<\/p>\n

Some of the absentees are taking a bit more time to recover from the gruelling battles that took place at The International 2019<\/a>, while others have cited personal reasons.<\/p>\n

The first team that decided to extend their vacation was PSG.LGD, who ended their TI9 campaign in third place following a painful 1-2 defeat against the eventual champions OG in the upper bracket finals and a 1-2 defeat to Team Liquid in the lower bracket finals.<\/p>\n

The Chinese powerhouse made the announcement only a few days after TI9 finished, claiming they have decided to miss the first Dota 2 Major of the new season to give their players some more time to recover from another successful run at the world’s richest esports tournament<\/a>.<\/p>\n
