And then there were 12.
After six teams were eliminated after the Lima Major group stage, the remaining 12 teams are primed for a shot at the championship. Eight teams begin their run in the upper bracket, while four teams will need to start their journey with an uphill battle in the lower bracket.
What is the Lima Major?
The Lima Major is the first Major of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit.
18 teams from six different regions compete for the crown in the City of Kings. A substantial prize pool and DPC points are up for grabs.
The latter will likely prove essential for any team’s chances to qualify directly for The International 2023 since only 12 teams will be directly invited to Dota 2’s premier event.
