DotaPit have locked down the crème de la crème of Dota 2 teams for their upcoming 5th season. Matches start as early as next week.


DotaPit gets a full house for Season 5 Qualifiers
The One Game Agency (organisers of DotaPit) have done their homework and secured the participation of almost every single top team for the upcoming Season 5, just days after EG, Secret and OG withdrew from DreamLeague.

It is easily the tastiest tournament on the menu at the moment, and with both TI6 Grand Finalists cn Team Random* and world Planet Odd* receiving direct invites to the DotaPit S5 LAN Finals in January, DotaPit have covered all the bases. Also the fact the LAN finals are in January means no conflict with the Boston Major in December.

A total of 24 teams will participate in the online stage of Season 5, and are divided into 6 double elimination groups based on their region. CIS has been given its own group with the rest of Europe split into EU #1 and #2. The CIS region has been struggling of late but this format will ensure at least one CIS team will be present at the LAN finals.

The NA group sees EternalEnvy's new team get a chance to play against the likes of us Evil Geniuses and us compLexity Gaming. Given just how well us Evil Geniuses played at the MDL a fortnight ago they will be heavy favourites to win the group.







The groups will be double elimination and only the winner of the group will go to the LAN finals


Only one team from each group with qualify for the LAN finals, which means there will be a total of six groups winners joining DotaPit's direct invites (cn Team Random* and world Planet Odd*) at the LAN finals in Split, Croatia, from the 20th-22nd January 2017.

DotaPit's submissions in the Workshop this season are particularly impressive


The in-game ticket for the tournament is already on sale, and matches start from next week. The base prize pool is $125,000 which will be supplemented by the sales of the in-game ticket and DotaPit Season 5's sick chest, which we posted about a couple of weeks ago.
