Get ready for ProDotA’s first National DotA 2 Cup

National DotA 2 Cup is a new online tournament introduced by ProDotA. The tournament boasts 16 teams from 16 different countries that will battle for a share of $10,000.

While National Dota 2 Cup doesn’t offer a huge prize pool, the DotA 2 community seems to like the idea. This is not just a battle for prize pool but also for the pride of their own country.

However we had high numbers on the viewerships with Hitbox EU Championship, where we had 3 seasons so far and on ProDotA Cup which was sponsored by Twitch.
