The first joinDOTA League season of 2015 is near at hand and MLG Season 1 Championship this weekend will crown the victor. Meanwhile, as we head into the second quarter, it's time to unleash a new season of the joinDOTA League, giving all of you a chance to join more than 10,000 players in our league circuit! Sign-ups are open to all skill-levels and all regions, and will remain open until the April 20th!


Get involved in Season #6, or re-submit your team from last season!



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.
