The Dota Pro Circuit came to a faster end with the revamped system for 2023. All was said and done within three weeks.
While some teams witnessed their demise, as many others shocked the world, a handful of teams secured their seats at the Lima Major 2023.

The Lima Major is currently scheduled to take place between Feb. 22 and March 5, featuring a total of 18 teams from around the world. Here are all the teams that have qualified for the event so far.
