1win Series features the best Dota 2 teams and a $100K prize pool

The 1win Series is one of the last tournaments of the year, with Tier 1 teams like Liquid, GG and Spirit. Check all the details and live updates here!

Not every prize-pool in Dota 2 is a million dollars, but that doesn't mean there's not going to be action. The 1win Series Dota 2 Fall is an invitational tournament happening just after the ESL One Bangkok qualifiers. This event will include some names that we will be missing on this last competitive season.

The tournament will also see the comeback of the 1win Esports team. The organization made a small change to compete in this event, changing their midlaner Ilya "CHIRA_JUNIOR" Chirtsov for Ilya "squad1x" Kuvaldin. Also, this is not a definitive adjustment, since CHIRA_JUNIOR is still part of the roster as an inactive player.

1win Series Dota 2 Fall format, dates, and where to watch

The 1win Series invitational is an online tournament that starts on Nov. 19, and the Grand Finals day is set to Nov. 22. It has a Swiss format for the Group Stages, which means that the team that loses two series during the first and second day of the tournament is directly eliminated. All the matches are BO1, except the Deciders Match, which will be BO3.

Since it's a flash-format tournament, the Playoffs are also single elimination BO3 with a BO5 Grand Final. However, the brackets include a Third Place match to determine the prize pool cut, distributed as follows:

  • First place: $50,000 USD
  • Second place: $30,000 USD
  • Third place: $15,000 USD
  • Fourth place: $5,000 USD
