ESL One Fall 2021: When and where to watch?

ESL One Fall 2021 is set to kick off tomorrow. It is one of the only Dota 2 tournaments taking place between the rescheduled TI10 and its open qualifiers which ended last month.

This is also the first tournament where the leading Dota 2 teams will be playing in patch 7.30. Dota 2 fans are eager to check out how the metagame evolves with the new balance changes brought forth by the new patch as TI10 will be played on this patch most likely, although some sub-patches are expected.
