ESL adds another $1 million Dota 2 tournament ahead of TI12—and fans are feeling euphoric

The two months leading up to Dota 2’s The International were often known to be dry in terms of content. With no major tournaments scheduled, teams grew used to using the time to boot camp for TI. But a seismic shift is underway in 2023 as ESL is defying tradition with a $1 million tournament that will be held a month before TI12.
DreamLeague Season 21 will host 12 of the best teams in the Dota 2 world, 10 of which are already decided.
