$100,000 Dota 2 tournament in Bangkok sponsored by beer and airlines industry

The Dota2 Battle Arena is an international LAN that will be hosted in Bangkok, Thailand at the end of the year with a $100,000 prize pool. The tournament is sponsored by Singha Corp and will most likely work with Thai Airways as well.

The Dota2 Battle Arena is an international LAN to be hosted in Bangkok, Thailand at the end of this year. Currently, it is scheduled for the 13th to 15th of November; the date is still subject to change.

There will be a total of eight teams taking part in this LAN, two teams from Europe, one team from China, one team from the Americas and four SEA teams; these eight teams will be battling for the prize pool of $100,000. The qualifiers are expected to take place after TI5 as it would make the most sense given the fact that after every TI there will be major reshuffles.

The tournament organizers have confirmed Singha Corporations, a Thai beer company, as their main sponsor and they are currently working on a deal with airline company Thai Airways. Our source told us that the organizers are in talks with Thai Airways and it is likely the deal will go through. Assuming it all works out well, Thai Airways will be the second airlines to sponsor an esports event after Korean Airlines during the Starcraft Brood Wars days.

The tournament is the first major tournament to be held in Thailand and also the third major tournament to be hosted in South East Asia this year. Head organizer Piyatat 'Toy' Bunnag, also the former manager of MiTH.Trust told us, "I am hoping that this tournament would set the precedent to all other tournaments organizers in SEA to step up their game. We are currently lacking compared to the rest of the world in South East Asia and we would have a lot to catch up."
