Following the announcements from PGL and BLAST, ESL has unveiled its Dota 2 tournament roadmap for 2025, comprising five planned events.
The unveiling of ESL's 2025 tournament plans took place at the X event today. Despite 2024 not reaching its midpoint yet, this renowned tournament organizer has already mapped out five premier events for Dota 2 in 2025.
ESL Pro Tour for Dota 2 in 2025H2
ESL's agenda outlines five Dota 2 tournaments for 2025, spanning from February to December. Similar to 2024, they intend to host two LAN tournaments in Europe and Asia, with the remaining three being online DreamLeague tournaments.
Notably, the announcement doesn't touch upon the Riyadh Masters 2025 schedule, perhaps because it falls outside the ESL Pro Tour series. We await further updates on this matter.
The ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 calendar is detailed below:
Event Date;
DreamLeague S25 Feb. 16 - Mar. 2;
ESL One Europe April;
DreamLeague S26 May 12 - May 25;
