jDL does not stop. Ever! While the third season is in its final moment, the next one is already around the corner. For the fourth time we welcome all teams from everywhere around the globe and all skill levels to sign up and be part of the world's biggest Dota league with over 2500 teams in each edition so far. The registration is now open!


If you didn't know about our league yet, read the following: joinDOTA League is divided into three regions: Europe (including the Middle East and Africa), America (North and South America), Asia (including Australia). All of which have multiple divisions that roughly express the skill levels of the teams in them. The ten best teams from each region are part of Division 1 with the next best ones fighting in Division 2. Any team that is participating for the first time will be put into the starter division and can battle their way up the ranking with some good results. Promotion and relegation occurs at the end of each season, letting teams find their way to an appropriately skilled division.

All teams within one division are randomly assigned to a group of usually 10 teams, to compete in a round robin format (you play a different team each playday in a two-game matchup). One match (sometimes two) is played every week, with the teams choosing the date and time themselves based on some ground rules. After the group stage, some teams proceed to the playoffs before the season concludes. After the season ends, everyone gets assigned to a new (or the same) division for the next season, and the whole thing starts again. The amount of slots in jDL is unlimited.
