Three regions are taking part in the joinDOTA Turbo Masters — Asia, Europe and the Americas. In each region, two teams will do battle in a best-of-seven, winner-takes-all match worth $1,000.
As the name suggests, the game mode is Turbo, meaning we’re in for some fast and frantic Dota 2 action. Expect crazy picks, wild plays and more deaths than you can reasonably count using your limbs alone!

In the last best-of-seven showmatch, two teams from Southeast Asia met in the Turbo Masters to battle for glory and $1,000. A thrilling series saw Clutch Gamers defeat Yoshimoto.Detonator by a 4-3 scoreline, taking the crown as champions of the first Turbo Masters.
We're staying in the South, but moving to another continent for the next battle — Thunder Predator and Gorillaz - Pride will face off in the second edition of the joinDOTA Turbo Masters.
Major team against jDL kings
Neither of the two Peruvian teams are no-names to attentive readers — especially Thunder Predator, who have been extremely successful lately. They were the beneficiaries of the disqualification of paiN X in The Chongqing Major: South America Qualifier, and will therefore attend the Major in China. They surprisingly beat Infamous, South America's top team, twice in the qualifier and initially finished third.
Thunder Predator — full line-up:
Juan 'AtunnN' Ochoa Leonardo 'Leostyle-' Sifuentes Frank 'Frank' Arias Farith 'Matthew-' Puente Sergio 'shccD' ToribioGorillaz - Pride also attended the South American qualifier for the Major. However, they didn't make it out of the Group Stage — Infamous and test123 were too strong for the up-and-coming Peruvian line-up. On the other hand, they put in an incredible performance in the joinDOTA League Season 14, which they won by defeating Team South in the Grand Finals thanks to a 3-0 clean sweep.
