Following the success of our opening to the start of the year with The Plantronics Science Cup, UKDota.net is proud to announce our new collaboration with GAMDIAS to bring you the GAMDIAS UKDota.net Spring Open, which will take place on Saturday, the 8th of March. Limited to 16 teams, with a £125 cash prize on offer for the first placed team, the competition will be another opportunity for the UK's best and brightest to strut their stuff in front of an audience, with games to be casted by JoeShow and durka, kindly supported by our partners Multiplay.
