Dota 2 The Lima Major Teams

  Eighteen teams from six different regions will have a chance in the first major of the year, and the first major ever to be hosted in South America. Here are the squads:  

 

Format

 

• The tournament is divided into two phases: Group Stage and Playoffs.
• Group Stage takes place between the 22nd and the 26th of February. The eighteen teams are split into two groups of nine.
• Matches are Bo2 in a single round-robin, with six teams from each group qualifying for playoffs. The bottom three teams from each group are eliminated.
• The top four teams from each group automatically advance to the upper bracket of the playoffs, and 5th and 6th place teams will go to the lower bracket.
• Playoffs will take place between the 28th of February and the 5th of March. It is a double-elimination bracket with BO3s for every match except the Grand Finals, which is BO5.
