The event is ESL One’s first return to Southeast Asia since ESL One Genting 2018 and the first Dota 2 competition with a live audience in the region since late 2019. It will be separate from the Dota Pro Circuit and will allow teams to hone their skills before competing in The International 11 for a share of the USD400,000 (RM1,757,600) total prize pool.

The group stage, which begins on August 23, will feature 12 of the world’s best Dota 2 teams competing in a best-of-two round-robin format. They will compete for one of the eight available playoff spots while playing in a LAN environment.

The playoff stage will then take place in front of a live audience at Resorts World Genting’s Arena of Stars in a best of three double-elimination format, with the grand final decided in a best of five format.
