Apr 9 - Apr 23, 2023
Dreamleague is back.
Starting on April 09, right after the 2nd Tour of the Dota Pro Circuit's Division 1 ends, the best teams from around the world will be flown into Europe to compete online for a $1,000,000 prize pool, and a chance to qualify directly to the groupstage of Riyadh Masters at Gamers8.
Our Teams
Only the very best teams from around the world will be invited to compete in DreamLeague.
To select the teams we invite, we've invested in renovating the previous ESL World Rankings system for Dota to the new and improved EPT Ranking System, and we'll be using this for future events to ensure we're bringing only the highest quality competition to Dota fans.

Format
Here's the deal: We're all a bit exhausted from long, drawn out formats. So we made it compact. 2 weeks, 2 group stages, 1 playoffs.
And because we have some dope teams from all around the world, we want to see NA take on SEA, China vs. SA and more cross regional match-ups. So we have a LOT of games.
