The GAMDIAS UKDota.net Spring Open #2

After a great turn-out and a very successful event in the first GAMDIAS Open, UKDota.net is delighted to be organising the GAMDIAS UKDota.net Spring Open #2, in coordination with Gamdias Esports, which will take place this Saturday, on the 29th of March. As was the case in the first GAMDIAS Open, the competition is limited to 16 teams, with a £125 cash prize on offer for the first placed team.

For those attracted by the lure of being a public spectacle, the games will be cast by Joe “JoeShow” Styrka and Gareth “durka” Bateson, over on Multiplay’s TwitchTV channel.

Comprising of a series of double elimination BO1s, with a BO3 grand final, the GAMDIAS UKDota.net Spring Open #2 registration is now open, with registrations taking place here. With a limit of 16 teams and a cash prize, we anticipate sign-ups will be filled quickly, so if you want to make sure you get a spot, register soon!

Any teams that register after the 16 slots are filled will be considered reserve teams and will be contacted if a slot opens up. The registrations will be officially closed once the brackets are released and no further replacement teams will be accepted after that point.

The check-ins will start at 10:00 and the first rounds taking place at 11:00. Check-ins will take place over on #gamdiasdota IRC channel on Quakenet.
