We are two weeks into the second season of joinDOTA League and almost 200 games have been broadcasted via DotaTV. Time to shed some light on how exactly the ticket sales affect the competition. Find all the information about the jDL DotaTV tickets as well as the prize pool and distribution in here.


What does the ticket cost? Where can I buy it?



The joinDOTA League Season 2 DotaTV ticket costs 3,99 USD (or 2,89 EUR). You can find it in the Dota 2 Store, the category is Pro Shop => Tournaments. You can either access the store in Dota 2 itself or on the website. Here is the direct url to the ticket.

What exactly do I get for buying this ticket?



You'll be able to watch the best joinDOTA League matches comfortably via the WATCH tab in DotaTV. By doing so you have multiple choices of how to watch the games: Free Camera, Directed Mode, Player Perspective, or (if available) follow a caster.

Of course we will also broadcats a few matches via videostream for free. But the amount of games you can watch in DotaTV is way higher, since they don't require a caster to be available. Due to an admin being required to host the match,, it is won't be possible for us to include all matches though. Instead we focus on the best ones. That includes:
  • All division 1 matches of Europe, America and Asia
  • Most, if not all of the division 2 matches
  • Matches from lower divisions in exceptional cases
This applies for matches in season 2 of jDL. For future seasons, there will be new tickets. In joinDOTA League #1 we provided a total of 508 games on the ticket. It's going to be even more this time.



How do the tickets influence the prizepool?



This season, joinDOTA League has a base prize pool of 4,500 USD, sponsored by Anuxi. On top of that, 100% of our share gets added in. By buying a ticket, you raise the pool by 1,00 USD. So far the community has contributed 2,362 USD.

How are the prizes distributed?



Unlike in season one, the money will be shared to all three leagues equally this time around. The champions from Europe, America, and Asia will all have the same winnings. Here is the distribution.

jDL Europe:
  • 1st Place: 3/18 of the total prizepool (~16.7%)
  • 2nd Place: 2/18 of the total prizepool (~11.1%)
  • 3rd Place: 1/18% of the total prizepool (~5.6%)
jDL America:
