It has been approximately 50 hours since our big surprise announcement over the livestream of Na'Vi versus DTS in Techlabs Cup. Since then, forums threads had been popping out like popcorn trying to guess what this surprise may be.


Shortly after the broadcast, your favourite shoutcaster, au Toby 'Tobi Wan' Dawson has changed the broadcast title to "It's a secret.. SSHHH". Today, it is secret no more as joinDOTA proudly presents the joinDOTA Masters.

JoinDOTA Masters will present five mini cups featuring the best teams from four corners of the world. The goal of joinDOTA Masters is to provide fair competition to teams as the cups will be separated into its respective region to minimize server and lag issues. Oh yes, it is also to calm your withdrawal symptom from listening to that audible chocolate on the airwaves.
