What do we know currently about the DPC Winter Tour Regional Finals?
Currently, DreamHack has confirmed the following details regarding the tourney:
- The tournament is played between the top 4 Winter Tour Qualifiers from each region.
- The prize pool is confirmed to be $100000 and 380 Dota 2 Pro Circuit points are on the line for each of the six regions. Also, the breakdown of the rewards has already been released.
- The tournament is short and will be played over 3 days online. Currently, the date has been fixed from February 11th to February 13th.
Place | $ USD | DPC Points | Team |
---|---|---|---|
1st | $50,000 | 250 | TBD |
2nd | $25,000 | 130 | TBD |
Place 3rd and 4th | |||
3rd | $15,000 | – | TBD |
4th | $10,000 | – | TBD |
At the moment, only DreamHack has mentioned this as of now. there is confirmation coming in from other organisers too.
Consequently, that makes DreamHack the one to break news. After a short rebellion from Dota 2 pros, an event is finally happening.
But, there is a concern. The Major was supposed to have 1900 points on the line. But, now the total stands at 380 x 6 = 2280.
Though, the total prize pool has been increased to $100000 x 6 =$600000. Hence, the points might be balanced later as the Tour progresses.
