PGL has announced the Groups for the upcoming Dota 2 Major. The first Major of the DPC season is the Kuala Lumpur Major. The event will see sixteen teams from across the globe compete against each other. The top teams in Dota 2 [ with the exception of Team Liquid ] will be playing for a prize pool of $1 million. However, the thing that is probably more important to most of the attending teams is the Dota Pro Circuit points.
The first Dota 2 Major will have a total of 15,000 Pro Circuit points on offer. Ofcourse, these points will be distributed across all sixteen teams. However, securing a top-tier finish at the event will have the lion’s share of the DPC points. These DPC points will be useful for teams to secure an invitation to The International 2019.
The Kuala Lumpur Major Groups.
PGL has announced the division of teams into four groups. Each Group has four teams each and they are distributed based on their seeding. The Kuala Lumpur Major Groups are as follows:
Group A
- Team Secret
- Pain Gaming
- Ninjas in Pyjamas
- J.Storm
Group B
- Evil Geniuses
- Vici Gaming
- TNC Predator
- Team Aster
Group C
- PSG.LGD
- Fnatic
- Gambit Esports
- Tiger
Group D
- Virtus Pro
- Forward Gaming
- Pain X
- Alliance
Tigers is the only team that did not qualify via the Major qualifiers. They won the first Dota 2 Minor, the Dreamleague Season 10. Their victory over Natus Vincere secured an invite to the major. It also allows them an opportunity to show off their ability to compete against the best teams in the world.
