Not familiar with the joinDOTA League? Here's a quick primer:
It's a competitive Dota 2 league for anyone and everyone that's been running since Season 1 in 2014! It doesn't matter if you're a beginner with a group of friends or a serious professional team, there's room for you in our league.
We divide teams by skill level, so you won't be playing against top teams in our highest divisions unless you can prove yourself worthy.
In preparation for the new season, we've given our rules an update and a facelift. Even if you're a joinDOTA League veteran, it's never a bad idea to give them another look - especially the sections we've marked, which have been changed more than others.
Here are some important bits of those changes. The default date for matches still exists, but a new system has been put in place to help teams reach a consensus about which date to play their match. When it comes to roster changes and stand-ins, we've laid out the number of times a player can change teams or stand in as well as how many stand-ins a team may use over the course of different parts of the season - Preseason Playoffs, groupstage and playoffs.
Finally, it's very important to note that when signing up your team, at least five members must confirm their participation. Team leaders may no longer confirm participation for their entire squad.
Don't forget, if you've never played jDL before and want to avoid the mixed-skill Starter Division or want a chance at improving your placement, make sure you sign up for the Preseason Playoffs!
