The 2021 Dota 2 pro circuit kicks off later this month - here are the details
The 2021 edition of the Dota 2 pro circuit is just around the corner, and the multiplayer game's developer Valve has dropped a whole bunch of info on what to expect when its first season kicks off. The studio has now announced the format will be broken down into two seasons in the run-up to the MOBA game's International 2021 event later this year, with the first starting in a fortnight's time.
According to Valve, the 2021 Dota 2 pro circuit's first season launches on January 18, running through to February 28 ("March 14 for China with a break in the middle"), followed by the second in spring, which runs April 13 to May 23. As the studio's outlined before, each season will see six-week-long leagues followed by a major at the end, with majors one and two held March 25 to April 4 and June 2 to June 13, respectively.
Once these seasons are up, there'll be some qualifiers held to fill The International 2021's remaining slots ahead of the event, which will be held in Stockholm in August this time around.
