ASUS ROG DreamLeague is back with Season 2 after a fantastic Season 1 where Swedish Alliance ended up defeating Cloud 9 in the final at DreamHack Summer 2014 to become the ASUS ROG DreamLeague Season 1 Champions.



The League Format

Coming into Season 2 the focus has been to improve the league so it will be even more interesting and compelling for the players/teams, viewers/fans and the whole DOTA 2 community. The largest change will be that we are opening up and Asian Division to make ASUS ROG DreamLeague even more competitive. At the same time we are introducing a whole new part of the league where the best teams from each division will play against each other live in the Monster Energy DreamHack Studios. In this way we can guaranteed perfect competitive condition and at the same time produce a DOTA 2 broadcast of a much higher level as all viewers and fans can see how each and every player react and get a lot of great moments that only occurs in a live environment

ASUS ROG DreamLeague Season 2 will feature a prize pool of $100,000 with 16 teams spread across 4 divisions, Europe East, Asia, Europe West and North America. There will be 3 phases, the first one being a online part where the 4 teams from the same division will fight for 2 spots in the phase 2 that will take place live at the Monster Energy DreamHack Studio.
