The competitive Dota 2 landscape has been battling with uncertainty ever since Valve pulled the plug on DPC. With the scene becoming more open to third-party organizers, ESL claimed a majority of the pro calendar with five upcoming events.
Though Dota 2 fans already knew about the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 event, the organizer revealed it had four more tournaments lined up for the 2024 season. Following the December tournament, ESL will host DreamLeague S22 at the end of February. This will be followed by a LAN event in Europe and DreamLeague S23, with the roads leading to a mystery July event. Though this July tournament is currently nameless, it’s expected to have ties with Gamers8, Riyadh Masters’ organizers.
