ESL announces $ 400,000 Dota 2 tournament

One of the most famous and active tournament operators of today, ESL, has announced a $ 400,000 Dota 2 event to be held in August. The final summer championship will be called ESL One Fall 2021, and the tournament itself will become a kind of esports transition from summer to autumn, as it will be held at the end of August.

The list of participants who will share the total prize pool of $ 400,000 between each other will be 12 teams. At the moment, there are no details about whether all participants will be invited directly or some of them will be selected through qualifying rounds. ESL has promised not to keep viewers in the dark for a long time and will share the details very soon.

The event will have to somehow compensate for the gap that appeared due to the transfer of The International 10. The latter was supposed to take place in August, however, due to the difficulties caused by the coronavirus and the unwillingness of the Swedish authorities to cooperate with Valve, it was decided to move the championship to the Romanian capital. Bucharest. Now The International 10 will be held there from October 7 to 17 in the national arena of the country. Stockholm was left not only without The International 10, but also without PGL Stockholm Major 2021. Stockholm Mayor Anna König Yerlmür took the side of the organizers and asked the Swedish authorities to reconsider their decision, but that was adamant.
