It's the season; Midas Mode teams give to charity

All eight of the participating teams in the Midas Mode tournament hosted by MoonduckTV will be donating their winnings to charity.

This holiday season, Dota 2 teams will be among those who will generously contribute to various charities. Midas Mode boasts a $60,000 prize pool which be entirely donated by the top three team's designated charity of choice.

In the spirit of the holidays, the players of all eight teams have pledged to donate all of their prize winnings from Midas Mode to a charity of their team’s choice listed below. We believe that giving back to our communities is a responsibility we all share in life, and we are inspired by other gaming communities who have long been supporting charity and uplifting others. Having the bright lights of Dota upon us, the time is long overdue that we as a Dota community come together to set an example. Gamers can be a positive force in our communities and this is one small step in the right direction.

We ask that all of our fans join with us and support these and many other great causes this holiday season. Please donate a bit of whatever you have to give to help lift someone else up: money, time, canned goods, or a beloved game gathering dust because you spend twelve hours a day grinding for badges now!

Happy holidays,

The Teams”
