    • Introducing Regional Leagues

      Dota2.com schrieb:

      Starting after TI10, the Dota Pro Circuit will introduce a new system that presents competitive Dota in a more scheduled and consistent way during the year and features a better structure for the development of Tier 2 and Tier 3 teams.

      The year will be divided in 3 seasons. Each season will be composed of 6 regional leagues, leading into a Major with the best teams in the world. The Dota year will conclude, as usual, with The International.

      Regional Leagues:

      Each of the six leagues will feature a prize pool of USD 280,000 per season. Leagues will feature two divisions with 8 teams in the Upper Division and 8 in the Lower division, for a total of 96 teams participating across the world. After each season, the 2 bottom teams of the Upper Division will swap places with the top 2 of the Lower Division. The bottom 2 teams of the Lower Division will be eliminated from the league and replaced with 2 new teams coming from Open Qualifiers to allow for new teams and talent to be introduced into the scene over time.

      We believe the consistency and regularity of the league throughout the year, paired with a flat and deep prize pool distribution will, over time, nurture healthy and strong Tier 2/3 competition.

      The leagues will have a duration of six weeks, and each region will consist of a full Bo3 Round Robin among all teams. In order to make it easier to follow your favorite region and teams, all matches will be in consistent date and time slots throughout the year for each region.

      All Upper Division matches will be presented from studio broadcasts. All Lower Division matches will be featured on DotaTV.

      Each region will have 3 competition days a week, schedule will be as follows, All times in PST. Each slot represents a Best of 3 series:

      Schedule:

      Upper Division
      Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
      3AM China SEA SEA China SEA China
      6AM China SEA SEA China

      12PM Europe Europe Europe Europe CIS Europe
      3PM SA SA SA NA
      6PM SA SA
      9PM NA NA NA NA

      For the inaugural season, Valve will allocate the initial teams to the Upper and Lower divisions. Teams will also have to declare the region they choose to participate in (and be eligible for that region) before the season starts. Remaining slots will be filled through qualifiers after The International 2020 concludes.

      For a team to be eligible to participate in a region, 3 or more of the players need to reside in the area they are competing in. Additionally, teams will be able to use a stand-in for up to 4 of their matches as long as that stand-in is either competing in a lower division or not competing in a league at all.

      If a team decides to change regions, they will have to enter the region through open qualifiers and climb through that region’s Lower Division.

      For the duration of each season, from the beginning of the league until the end of the Major, all rosters will be locked. After the Major concludes and until the beginning of the next season, roster changes will be possible. Each player change will incur a 15% penalty on current points for that team.

    • Sage ja nicht dass das System keine deutliche Verbesserung gegenüber dem Status quo ist.
      Stand heute hat Europa mit
      Nigma
      OG
      Secret
      3 Teams, die Favoriten bei jedem Turnier sind/sein können.
      Dazu kommen mit
      Alliance
      NiP
      Liquid
      nochmal 3 Teams, die um Top 8 mitspielen können (und natürlich das Dark Horse Singularity um Starspieler HesteJoe-Rotten).

      NA hat EG als Topteam und Chaos/J.Storm?

    • Markt reguliert sich selbst.

      Glaube, dass es Teams geben wird die dann kein EU Team auf dem Papier sein wollen und in die vermeidlich einfachere Region wechseln.

      Wenn es überhaupt möglich ist.

      Die Ausbreitung in den südamerikanischen Raum zB. hat der Szene dort gut getan, persönlich würde mir aber eine Steigerung in NA definitiv wünschen, liegt es daran, dass man einfach dort eher elitär verhält und nur selten nicht so erfahrene Spieler die Chance gibt mit erfahrenden Spielern zu spielen über einen längeren Zeitraum, kenne mich da nicht so aus?

      Warum ich dieses Beispiel einbringe, so ähnlich war es früher mit CS1.6, damals als die EPS so mit noch das höchste der Gefühle war (2-3 Jahre vor Cut Cs:Go), kamen selten neue Spieler in die EPS Teams, da man keine Zeit/Lust/Mittel hatte um in vermeidlich Talente langfristig eine Chance zu geben, somit sah man sehr selten neue Spieler eher ein “Bäumchen wechsel dich“ aus neuen Kombinationen alter bekannter Spieler nach einer Saison.

    • Hört sich insgesamt sehr fair an, vermute einige Teams werden trotzdem wechseln, weil Europe+China trotzdem mit Abstand stärkste Region sind. Rate auch z.B. Liquid, Alliance höher als die besten SA teams.
      Aber dafür müsste man dann halt auch in SA leben, kp ob Teams das wollen.

    • Finde auch vieles nice.

      Die Entwicklung der non DPC tournaments wird interessant. Weil die DPC teilnehmenden Teams dann kaum in Frage kommen, weil selbst die freien zeiten für Teams nicht unbdeingt zum Reisen in Frage kommen.

      Beispiel Team Secret:

      twitter.com/Cyborgmatt/status/1232479615534284801

      Das betrift halt vor allem so klassiker wie die ESL ONE
      Preparation - Anticipation - Communication - Execution

    • Die hoffe das sich mit den Änderungen des Systems auch eine etwas klarere Spielertransfer Regelung einstellt. Aktuell finde ich es noch komisch, dass irgendwie jeder zu jeder Zeit wechseln kann. Klar gibt zwar in einigen Situationen Strafpunkte aber das ist ja kein Abschrecken, oder?
      Mit der Rückstufung in die Open Quali für Liga 2 bist du als Team halt für das TI des aktuellen Jahres nahezu raus, bei drei Majors im Jahr.

      Wie seht ihr das?
