“BEAT will be putting on a great show for the 9th season of our DOTA 2 event and the team is really excited.

So far we've raised around $3,100 and we expect to get to our additional $5,000 goal. We expect to reach at least 1 million people around the world during the lead-up and event conclusion. We hope you tune in and enjoy the show.” – added Anthony Truong, co-founder of BEAT.

Amuka Esports who operates esports venues, leagues and tournaments across Canada will be joining as a community and media partner.
"In DOTA 2, players compete with different 'heroes' (in-game characters) and it's fitting that they'll also be raising money for the real heroes which are the front-line service workers. We are thrilled to be supporting BEAT Gaming and YDX Innovation and harnessing the passion of gaming to do good." - according to Ben Feferman, CEO of Amuka Esports.

The 9th season of the DOTA 2 event also brings the fundraiser campaign Dota 2 Beat COVID-19, which is raising funds for the Canadian Red Cross and two food banks. https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/dota-2-beat-covid-19/
