Insomnia Dota 2 - All The Facts

One week to go until the biggest event of the year! There’s a £2,000 prize pool on the cards for Dota 2 at the moment, rising to £2,500 if a few more teams sign up, and a whole host of other cool stuff going on at the festival, so I thought I’d better fill you in on all the important stuff.
