Winter is coming! Ok, maybe that's a bit too early, but more Dota is coming for sure. To freshen up the hot summer days, a Dota tournament comes from the big and cold North: the Canada Cup is back for it's third season! With prominent names as well as a decent prize pool, it will be an event you surely wouldn't want to miss!


In just about two weeks, on August 18, the open qualifiers will start, giving you and your team the opportunity to join the cup for a shot on the $4,000 prize pool. But hurry, over 100 teams have signed up so far, with the most prominent names being teams such as us Na'Vi.US, us Sneaky Nyx Assassins, pe Not Today and pe Union Gaming. Prepare for the first major American Dota 2 event since The International!



After the qualifiers are over, the tournament will go into its next stage on September 8, when a total of 16 teams will battle each other over the money and prestige. If you want to support the cup, make sure to purchase a ticket in the Dota 2 store, that will allow you to spectate the competition ingame and comes with the fluffiest thing since Fuzzy Wuzzy: Bearzky the Polar Cub courier.
The main coverage of the event will be provided by HighGroundTV in English, but there will be various other languages to choose from as well. Do you feel the breeze already?
