Would you watch the Dota 2 Grand Finals at a cinema?

11 $1 million majors will take place over the next Dota 2 competitive season. Tournament hosts who are willing to participate in the program will need to put up $500,000 for a Major, or $150,000 for a Minor and Valve will put in the remaining pool for each respective tournament.

EGE played host to the VS Gaming Dota 2 Masters, and in front of a packed audience White Rabbit Gaming took their second consecutive win.

I know it's not the size of the prize pool that counts, it's how players compete for it. But it's always great to see players competing for big prizes - it's a great sign for our local esports community.

Want some merchandise to celebrate this year's Dota 2 International? So do many other fans, which has prompted Valve to make a change to how they do their traditional Secret Store sales.

ELEAUGE will offer a behind the scenes look at a number of teams and players in a build up to the International 2017.

With 30 days to go, the Dota 2 prize pool has already surpassed the $20 million record set in 2016.

Dota 2 is going back to its roots, and this may just save the esport.
