posted by Tezzeret, 310 days ago

ESWC has just released the official game titles for their 2012 series and Dota 2 will make a return to ESWC for another year.

With Dota 2 gaining popularity day by day, it comes as no surprise that ESWC has decided to continue their support for the game. Not much have been revealed so far aside from the official game titles and the date for ESWC which will be held from the 1st to 4th of November in conjunction with the Paris Games week at Porte de Versailles in Paris, France

Qualifiers will be held from July to October and it is currently unknown as to how many seeds there will be for Dota 2 and which countries will hold qualifiers.

ESWC Official titles:
Starcraft 2 (1v1)
Dota 2 (5v5)
ShootMania Storm (3v3)
TrackMania Nations (1v3)
FIFA 13 © EA Sports (1v1)
Tekken™ Tag Tournament 2 (1v1)

LoL was me brainfart. Trackmania is listed as 1v3 on ESWC site and it technically is 1v3. You're racing against 3 other opponents.
