Dota 2 developer Valve has asked tournament organiser Epic Esports Events to change the logo it created for the Eastern Europe Dota Pro Circuit due to it containing some communist symbolism.
The original logo created for the top competition in Eastern Europe featured Dota 2 hero Pudge in a red star and some red flames in the background. It was very similar to imagery used by Vladimir Lenin in the USSR, where his silhouette was featured in a similar design, as the logo for The All-Union Pioneer Organization.
