The third minor of the 2018-2019 DPC season is set to begin tomorrow, March 7th in Kiev, Ukraine. Here's what you need to know. 

This month's DPC events mark the halfway point of the new DPC 2018-2019 season. Two Major/Minor titles have already been claimed and points awarded. Following the StarLadder ImbaTV Kiev Minor and the subsequent DreamLeague Season 11 Stockholm Major, there will be only two more sets of DPC events for the year. 

The stakes are getting higher, the pressure is intensifying and things are heating up in Kiev, Ukraine. 

Eight teams will battle it out for the lion's share of the $300,000 prize pool, 500 DPC points and the highly coveted ticket to the DreamLeague Season 11 Stockholm Major between March 7-10th.
