Bali Dota 2 Major 2023 Main Stage: Schedule, Results, Participants and Format
Yuriy SheremetThe highly top-heavy group stage of The Bali Major 2023 is now over. The group games provided us with some memorable moments, like the Blacklist comeback with a 48,000 gold gap, or the two hour long battle between Quest and Gladiators. We can only imagine what the main stage of the Bali Major 2023 will bring us!
The 12 play-offs will be decided after the groups. The battle for 500,000 dollars and 3,500 DPC points continues, but without the home teams Blacklist, Bleed Esports and Execration as well as Evil Geniuses, nouns and Invictus Gaming.
The most resilient teams, in good Majors tradition, are spread into two baskets: the bottom and the top of the play-offs. The Bali Major 2023 will begin on July 5 and run until July 9 inclusive, with all matches taking place on the Ayana Estate.
Here are all the important things to know about The Bali Major 2023: Main Stage.

An additional motivation for the teams to win should be a record number of DPC points. The Bali Major 2023 is the last chance to get a direct invite to The International 2023 and past the hurdle of online qualification.
Where to watch the Bali Dota 2 Major 2023 Main Stage
After a frenetic group stage with 4 parallel streams of broadcasts, the Major is now moving to a more relaxed main stage with a single line-up. All games will be streamed on the official Epulze Gaming channel on Twitch and also on YouTube. Don't forget that you can also watch the games in the Dota 2 client.
The Dota 2 Major 2023 Main Stage is a real treat for Dota 2 fans. No more parallel bo2 matches, but concentrated, high-quality Dota 2. We will see if Gaimin Gladiators will secure their third Cup of the season, if PSG.LGD and Aster can justify their place in the top play-offs, and how they will do as BB are making their first trip to the main event and to the top draw at the same time.
