The Dota 2 esports calendar keeps on giving. Right after BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, it’s DreamLeague Season 24’s turn to pit the best teams against each other. And with ESL Pro Tour Ranking at stake (which qualifies teams directly into next year’s Riyadh Masters), we can expect to witness some amazing competition. Besides, this online tournament has a prize pool of $1 million. That’s no joke, either.
All eyes will be on HEROIC, who will return after their dream run in PGL Wallachia Season 2. It’ll be interesting to see how they’ll fare against teams like Falcons and Tundra. Fan-favorite Nigma Galaxy, too, will be getting screentime in a premier Dota 2 tournament after a long while.
