WeSave! Charity Play: Dota 2 teams unite for online charity tournament
The WeSave! Charity Play tournament has been organized in response to the postponement of the ESL One Los Angeles Major and other canceled events in the gaming community. The tournament aims to raise awareness and fight against the coronavirus by bringing together almost every top Dota 2 team to compete.
With a total prize pool of $120,000, the tournament will feature 24 teams representing the six Dota regions. Each region will have four teams competing for a $20,000 prize pool. The entire event will be held online, with live broadcasts available in English and Russian on Twitch.
Multi-bracket format for a tighter schedule and better match experience
Due to the online nature of the tournament, it will be divided into six separate brackets, one for each region. This format ensures a more efficient schedule and provides the best match experience for players, broadcasters, and viewers.
