Team Aster have announced that they will begin competing at The International 10 without their midlaner Liu "White Album" Yuhao, who feels unwell due to COVID-19. The player will be back to the active roster as soon as he starts feeling better. Meanwhile, the team will compete with the team’s assistant Chen "86" Yuxuan, who played Dota 2 competitively between 2015 and 2017.
