Introduction to Dota 2 - DreamLeague Betting
The DreamLeague is a Dota 2 tournament which is part of the ESL Pro Tour (EPT). It’s open to teams from around the world, which earn a place to compete through closed qualifiers. The tournament offers a $1 million prize pool, with the winners receiving a top prize of $250,000, along with a club reward prize money worth $40,000. In addition, teams receive ESL Pro Tour points based on their final standings in the DreamLeague.
All DreamLeague matches are available to bet on here at Stake Sportsbook, including matches for the upcoming Season 27.
History of Dota 2 - DreamLeague
DreamLeague was created in 2013 by DreamHack, an Esports event organiser based in Sweden. The tournament was originally partnered with 6 Esports teams from Europe and North America. However, as the tournament has grown, it’s increased the number of teams and regions involved.
In 2017, DreamLeague Season 8 was included as part of the Dota Pro Circuit, with the DreamLeague Major giving teams a chance to earn points towards qualifying for The International.
Then, in 2023, Dream League Season 19 became part of the ESL Pro Tour, increasing the prestige of the tournament and meaning teams could earn EPT points depending on their final standings.
