Due to Philippine government regulations regarding drug testing, Galaxy Battles II had its major status rescinded from Valve.[1] Since non-Valve-sanctioned events do not reward DPC points (the point system used by Valve from 2017 until 2023 to select which team qualifies for The International), fewer Western teams are willing to travel to the Philippines due to the massive time difference.
