Biggest DOTA 2 Tournament to be held in Manila

Catch the Biggest DOTA 2 Tournament to be held in Manila this coming June. You can watch the live streaming via Steam official Website.

According to Valve blog post:



Upon the crowning of The Shanghai Major Champions, the eyes of the Dota community will turn to the next Major, to be held in Manila, Philippines in early June. As before, established teams and upstarts alike will battle for the chance to join the rolls of The Manila Major to compete on the main stage in front of a sea of passionate fans.



This will be the final opportunity to prove they belong amongst the best in the world before The International 2016 kicks off beneath the mid-August Seattle sun.

Each DOTA 2 Major is a double-elimination tournament featuring sixteen teams playing in one venue. The “Fall” (Frankfurt), “Winter” (Shanghai), and “Spring” (Manila) Majors feature a prize pool of $3 million. They all lead up to The International (now known as the “Summer” Major), an already established annual tournament that set the eSports prize pool record at $ 18.4 million in August 2015, funded mainly by the purchase of virtual in-game cosmetic items by active DOTA 2 players.
