The 2021 Dota Pro Circuit Season 2 is Set to Begin
The second season of the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit is about to start, with regional leagues starting again with slightly changed teams and players aiming to secure a spot in the next Major.
Matches will take place from April 12 to May 23, and this time there will be no mid-season break for China. This means that every region will follow the same six-week rotation.
In each region, the top two teams from the lower division have been promoted to the upper division. Similarly, the bottom two teams from the upper division will now play in the lower division during season two, having been relegated at the end of season one.
Additionally, two completely new teams will join the battle, replacing the bottom finishers from the lower division in season two. In total, the lower division will have two brand new teams, while the bottom and top two from the upper and lower divisions respectively will have swapped places.
At the end of season two, the top four seeds from China and Europe, the top three teams from Southeast Asia and CIS, and the top two teams from North and South America will qualify for the Major.
