A Dota 2 promo advertisement was shown on GOMTV's live broadcast stating that the company will be making an announcement on the 3rd of April. Not much is known about the announcement although a weekly cup is most likely the case
In the light of GOMTV's new studio teaser, many fans across the globe noticed that Dota 2 scenes were being used in the background which indicate that the massive Starcraft 2 streaming company may be considering to take a step into Dota 2.
Today, a picture of GOMTV's intention to venture into Dota 2 was broadcasted live and a screenshot of the picture has been posted up on Imgur by fellow Reddit users.
The translation for the text below the image is, "It's going to be 3rd of April at 9:00pm Korean Time and every Wednesday following". Credits to Marz2292 for translation.
GOMTV is a massive streaming service company in South Korea and they ventured into Esports in 2010 hosting various Starcraft: Brood War tournaments. Now, GOMTV have a big foothold in South Korea hosting the biggest Starcraft 2 tournaments, the GOMTV Global Starcraft II League and the GOMTV Global Starcraft II Team League (GSL).

Not much can be made out of the text below the picture but considering it will be announced every Wednesday following, it may be a sign of a weekly tournament. The recent findings of South Korean's Dota 2 servers can probably be linked to this announcement.
On a side note, Dota 2 caster, Aaron 'Ayesee' Chambers recently announced on his stream that he will be moving somewhere to cast Dota 2 although he was forbidden from saying where. Has GOMTV hired Ayesee? Nothing can be confirmed until the official announcement on the 3rd of April.
