GEST Dota 2 is back

 

 

GEST is back again with its first season of Dota 2. DotaTalk will be the official coverage partners of this tournament and this year. GEST will host various qualifiers for both South East Asia and non-SEA participants.

 

There will be 7 GMPGL qualifiers held throughout South East Asia: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and Myanmar/Cambodia/Laos/Brunei. On a side note, there will be a separate qualifier held for non-SEA teams in countries such as Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.

 

The total slots available for each qualifier will be 32 or 64, depending on the number of teams that register. The games will be held in private lobbies, with the format being BO1 Single Elimination. The Semi Finals and Grand Finals, however, will follow a BO3 format.
