The year may be winding down, but an exciting wave of high-profile Dota 2 action is still on the way. Although we are used to a longer off-season post-The International, 2024 has a different roadmap. We'll see four big tournaments in the following months with an exciting LAN event to close the curtains of the year. Find out all the major upcoming Dota 2 tournaments below!
Tournament Date Teams Prize Pool Setting | PGL Wallachia Season 2 Oct 4 - 14 16 $1 million LAN | BetBoom Dacha Belgrade Oct 19 - 26 12 $1 million LAN | DreamLeague Season 24 Oct 27 - Nov 10 16 $1 million Online | ESL One Bangkok Dec 9 - 15 12 $1 million LAN |
PGL Wallachia Season 2
The second edition of PGL Wallachia will start on Oct 4th until the 14th! It is the first tier 1 tournament after The International 2024 (TI13) concluded. This event will host 16 teams total teams, featuring those who also competed at TI. Interestingly, this event will welcome the return of Alliance and Nigma Galaxy in a tier one competition!
However, due to a lack of time for teams to form new rosters properly, many teams will compete in PGL Wallachia S2 with stand-ins. These fragmented team rosters on top of the post-TI vibes will make this second PGL Wallachia event a spicy one.
BetBoom Dacha Belgrade
BetBoom Dacha will also have its follow-up event, taking place in Belgrade this time around. This event will take place only four days after the conclusion of PGL Wallachia S2, from Oct 19 to 26. Considering the tight schedule, most teams likely remain with their current rosters and stand-ins.
