The Busiest Season in Dota? – DOTABUFF

There is nothing like a lot of dota, right? The beginning of the year 2025 is unprecedented in the extent of its mobilization with the third party championships and the qualifications associated with it, so we would like today to take a look at the next two months to help you move through countless competitions and what it means to the scene.

the first Al -Shqa Stadium It is already running, but this is only the first in the championship planned this year with the fissure. Previously known for organizing a balloon championship, this year is expanding with At least 13 The championships planned by the end of 2026.

From our understanding, the stadium will be its championships, $ 1,000,000, while the universe chain will only be smaller online. Previously, in particular, only five regions and five holes have included through its qualifiers, giving North and South America one common place.

The first championship in the planned series is shown 16 teams, 11 of which were invited. The Swiss system has also been used, although we hope that in the recent repetitions of the championship, the organizer will consider the full format of BO3 throughout the group stage.

Blast is the relative new expatriate for the DOTA scene, with a rich history of counter -strike. Their second championship is scheduled to start at the beginning of February again in the invitation only, which uses a round seed group stage in a single separate chip.

In our opinion, the BO1 group stage, followed by one qualifiers, can lead to some very interesting disorders, making an excellent offer. However, given more volatile coordination, we would like to see a less invitation difference with qualifiers instead, to increase the possibility of unique and unexpected stories.

It is also a heroism with no NA or SA actors this time, which is unfortunate. However, we are sure that it will produce some very interesting games, and given the dates, there is an opportunity to come out of the correction at some point during the qualifiers, which increases things.

There are already two $ 1,000,000 championships announced by PGL: Season 3 and 4 of Weshaya for the beginning of March and mid -April, respectively. These championships also use a Swiss group system, with a dual jamming qualifiers for eight teams.

Last Wallachia was impressive, both in terms of the quality of the match and the stories it created. It was the first international victory because South America was with some of the most powerful individual offers that we have ever seen, although it should be noted that some prominent teams were absent from the championship.

We can only speculate about this now, but given that PGL is the one that has been contracted from the subcontractor with Ti, there is a chance of the results of Wallachia in a great way when it comes to direct invitations to the largest Dota Championship for this year, and then. The best team will want to be there. However, we already know that Betboom team and Parivision He will not participate in the third season of Pgl Wallachia, which is surprising, but they are the only absences in the tournament.

Finally, there are ESL Pro Tour championships, which all lead to Masters RIYADH – are likely to be the largest of this year in terms of prizes. It includes Ept Dreamleague and ESL Ones Series.

One of the specific characteristics of these tournaments is that they are used EPT points For direct calls. There are only four teams invited in these tournaments, and the wide qualifications in seven areas to determine the rest of the participants.

This, in our opinion, is the most competitive invitation coordination throughout the scene, because it gives better opportunities for a newer team to prove themselves. It also results in a higher level of competition within the championships, as it consists primarily one of the most relevant teams at that time.

The nearest EPT is the Dreamleague Season 25, which will include 16 teams and will have a dual group stage, with a very short separate match. ESL ONE RALEIGH is scheduled for early April, and it will be a 12 -team championship with a double match. Later this year, the last EPT championship will end, season 26.

The professional dota was not packed, as at the beginning of this year. However, there are several points that we would like to raise.

First of all, while we see a lot of championships, some of which have no qualifications, or that the rehabilitation openings are limited. We feel that the latter’s presence is what allows the new talent to grow in the scene.

Second, there is a possibility of spectators and athletic fatigue. The championships are great, but we had a similar year before, with nine specializations followed via 2017/2078 and sometimes I felt it was too much.

Finally, outside the EPT system, there are not many incentives for the teams to not replace their lists. This creates a higher level of competition, perhaps, but it is likely to destabilize the scene.
