ESL officially unveils its $17 million Dota Pro Tour, and it is already under fire

The reports were correct: ESL is launching its own, supplemental take on Valve’s Dota Pro Circuit and introducing three tournaments to the competitive Dota 2 scene with a total prize pool of $17 million. However, some of the finer details have stirred up confusion and concern within the wider Dota community. 

Set to begin on April 9 with the long-awaited return of the DreamLeague event series, the ESL Pro Tour will see the top players in the world flying out to Europe to compete in the first event—with a second event already scheduled for mid-June.
