Vacation plans become complicated as Dota 2 fans are looking ahead to The International and now at the Bali Major, which seems the perfect pretext for a weekend break.
Malaysian tournament organiser IO Esports and Epulze are partnering up for the last Major of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit. Bali Major will run from June 30th – July 9th with the playoffs stage opened for live audience 7th to 9th July at AYANA Estate.
With Bali carrying the reputation of one of the world’s most coveted tourism destinations, this is a Major fans don’t want to miss. However, information on ticketing is to be released at a later date.
A total of 18 teams qualified via Division I Regional Leagues in the Summer Tour will make the trip to Bali Major, which will be their last chance to secure a direct invite at The International 2023.
