The Dota 2 scene is very much alive and kicking. It’s all about the Dota Pro Circuit and competing in The International. The DPC season lasts the full 12 months of the year. Within the season you’ll also find three ‘Tours’ per season, which offer Dota 2 teams much-needed opportunities to build DPC points for qualification at The International. 

European Dota 2 teams have dominated the scene in recent years, with the last five winners of The International coming from these shores.

The Dota 2 tournaments don’t come any bigger than the following events, all of which are covered by our Esports traders at talkSPORT BET:
