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.

Curious about how it works? Check out our transparent explanation on the Dota 2 EPT 'How it Works' page.

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. 

Here's how it breaks down:

The Tournament

  • Two round-robin groups featuring eight teams each
  • Matches are best-of-two
  • 1st-4th place teams in each group advance to Group Stage 2
  • 5th-8th are eliminated from the tournament
  • One round-robin group featuring eight teams total
  • Matches are best-of-three
  • 1st and 2nd place move to Playoff Upper Bracket
  • 3rd and 4th move to Playoff Lower Bracket
  • 5th-8th are eliminated from the tournament
  • Four team double elimination bracket
  • Two teams start upper bracket, two teams lower
  • Matches are best-of-three, except Grand Finals, which is best-of-five

the Prize Pool

  • Total - $1,000,000
  • 1st - $300,000 — Qualified to Riyadh Masters
  • 2nd - $175,000
  • 3rd - $120,000
  • 4th - $85,000
  • 5th - $52,500
  • 6th - $47,500
  • 7th - $42,500
  • 8th - $37,500
  • 9th & 10th - $25,000
  • 11th & 12th - $20,000
  • 13th & 14th - $15,000
  • 15th & 16th - $10,000

FAQs

With the ESL Pro Tour for Dota 2 we want to complement Valve’s DPC ecosystem while supporting the Dota 2 scene and helping it grow.

You can find our Community Streaming Guidelines here.

Although it's something we would have liked to include, there will be no qualifiers for events in the first EPT Season.

There are no plans currently to have live audiences at DreamLeague events, as they will be entirely online events with teams flown in to various countries in Europe to compete.
