Event Background
As we’ll reiterate, the Dota Pro Circuit is the highest level of competitive Dota 2 as organized by Valve. Bearing this in mind, the best teams in the region are given the chance to compete and earn spots in international events through consistent performances.
Split into Divisions, Division I involves the very best 8 teams in the region. Split into multiple Tours, Tour 1 is the first seasonal event for Eastern Europe.
Taking place online, the event will take place between 8th January and 29th January. Apart from the prize pool of $250,000, there are also lots of previous Dota Pro Circuit points on the line. Here are the competing teams below:

- Natus Vincere – Division I
- Team Spirit – Division I
- Darkside – Division I
- One Move – Division I
- BetBoom Team – Division I
- HellRaisers – Division II
- Nemiga Gaming – Division II
Here’s a look at how the DPC Points are going to be split:
- 1st @ 300 DPC points

- 4th @ 60 DPC points

Read on as we dive deeper into the event below.
Format
With regards to the competition, the event will be split into one standard stage. Specifically, the single round-robin event will separate the competition. For those unaware, this means that all 8 teams will compete against one another once in BO3 matches before the competition ends.
Once completed, the teams will seed forward as follows:
- 1-3rd place – qualified to the Major
- 1-6th place – remain in the current division for the next tour
- 7-8th place – relegated to Division II for the next tour
A simple format is backed up with a simple format – however, not everyone will make it to the top 3 and these are the best teams in Eastern Europe.
