The first edition of National Dota 2 Cup to begin next week

National Dota 2 Cup is a brand new tournament that will bring together sixteen National teams to fight for a share of the $10.000 starting prize pool in an online format starting next week, September 21st.

After three successful editions of Battle of Central Europe, dota2leagues put together all the experienced gained and the resources they have to create a next level competition that will be held in an online format.

National Dota 2 features 16 teams form 16 different countries. From each participating country one player was selected by the organizers and invited to create a National team for the event.

Not all the countries finished their line-up yet but they will have to do it before Friday, September 18th, 23:59PM CEST.

Among the confirmed squads are Finland with their 4 Anchors and Sea Captain team, Greece featuring a mix of the old London Conspiracy and the new Golden Boys players and probably the strong contender to win it all, Russia with a tier one line-up, yoky, Silent, SoNNeikO, god and Sqreen.
