More teams will be announced in the near future, according to Ramón “glSwadow” Beltrán, chief marketing officer of 4D.

The $75,000 prize pool represents a marked improvement from season one of Realms Collide, which offered $10,000 to a total of eight teams. Season two will run from Nov. 9 to Dec. 6, providing nearly a month of top quality SA Dota 2 in a welcome competitive boost for the region.

4D Esports, a coordinated effort between casters and tournament organizers from the Spanish Dota 2 scene, is promising “the biggest tournament in the history of South America.”

Another South America-based esports league, Movistar Liga Pro Gaming, previously announced that Valve was backing two of its tournaments with a prize pool of $45,000.
