Valve has changed the format of the Dota Pro Circuit, introducing six regional leagues and three majors.
The changes will be implemented following The International 10, which takes place in August.
Following TI10, the annual Dota Pro Circuit will be split into three seasons – each of which will wrap up with a Major. Each season will comprise of regional leagues for China, Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, South America, and CIS.
Each regional league will have a prize pool of $280,000 (£216,213.20) for each season and is split into two divisions.
