The joint dream of all DotA fans and players alike came true when the organizers of ESWC announced DotA as one of the games for 2010.
The Electronic Sports World Cup 2010 will be held in Disneyland, Paris and will boast a prize pool of $213,500, which will be divided by the World Champions and their challengers in seven different tournaments.
As with other games, the DotA division of ESWC will comprise of regional qualifiers from 32 different countries, with the winners of each participating in the grand final. The winners will earn themselves $14 000 as well being named the official DotA World Cup holders. The only division with a bigger prize pool is the Counter Strike 1.6 Men's competition.
It has not been said how the tournament will be structured, but it is probably safe to assume that it will follow a similar structure to games such as Counter Strike 1.6.
It is implied that the addition of DotA to ESWC is primarily due to the major push and support shown by the community around the world. Fans will be glad to hear that all their hours spent posting, writing letters and vouching for DotA have not been in vain.
This is a big step for DotA as a profession, as well as the community as a whole. A much needed thumbs up must go to all the DotA fans out there, for they have stuck it out and supported DotA through thick and thin, allowing it to reclaim its spot at this prestigious tournament.
Others games added include Quake Live and Guitar Hero replaces DJ Hero.

| nice |
| Woop! |
| awesome. |
probably an asean team will take it  |
| hell yeah! its a suicide by not including it ofc, so they did include it ;) |
| F*** Yeah =) |
| nice.. |
| Hell its about time! |
I just wanna know if the russias put togehter rox.kis again :) if they do that, they will win:)  |
Asians will take this again. TOP 10 all asian teams no doubt.  |
| Let the Eu>Asia flamewar begin! |
| yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssss |
| #12 dream on! |
| Well done this is surely needed and a big step for dota! |
| IN disneyland? lol |
| "the Electronic Sports World Cup 2010 will be held in Disneyland, Paris" Im not really good at geography, but Disneyland isnt in USA? XD Anyways, great news ! Looking foward! |
| Well im only hoping that the teams will actually be top teams and not plagued by low level scrubs.
To witness a battle comprised of FTD, Ehome, Ch, Aeon.cgc, Ks.my, Xfy, BFB, and The Retry will be epic, and the prizepool and honor given are finally befitting what the Dota Elite players deserve. Hopefully this time our powerhouse teams like BFB will be able to reach the top 8, and put up a good run against the invincible Asians. |
| Excelent, but... which country is Blight.int going to play for? Will they have to go through roster changes? The same goes for Sick, for example. And we'll have some play-offs to define which team is going to represent China. That alone, will be awesome already. Hopefully, Brazil will get a strong team to play there, as the best players get together again and take CNB out of the top here. That sure is good news! Looking forward to it. |
| #18 there's loads of Disneyland parks all over the world. Anyways great news and i bet we will see some epic clashes between the (gay) Asians and (pro) Europeans |
| Stop this Europe > Asia and vice versa crap! We all very damn well know it America > Europe+Asia. LOL. JK. Hope no sponsor problems. Want to see all teams go. |
| who said HoN is getting bigger than dota?? hahaha :D |
| Where's VIGOSS? Insane, Round 2 can commence... |
| #18 There is a DisneyLand near Paris too. DisneyWorld is in USA. Btw, I wonder where it will be held in the park, cauz there isnt a big room there, at least from what I saw. There is a pre qualif tournament held in a cybercafé, but I don't know if it's only for the french part or if it is for everyone. |
| #18 There's a disneyland in Paris also. #19 Loda will show you who's boss |
| @18 First one was built in Paris, than in USA Florida and LA and i think there is one in Tokyo ... Ops USA one was first Paris was second built in 1992 and there are also in Hong Kong and Shanghai http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Parks_and_Resorts |
| cool |
| niceeeeee wcg could follow ESWC example x) |
| Dear slickdragon. We understand that you fap to those guys ever night before you go to sleep, but do you undestand how fucking silly your comments sounds? Have you ever read one of your own comments without frowning with embarassment? I havent anyway. And whats your problem with swedish teams? dips is just a random swedish team, when did they claim to be best in the world? GTFO, was much nicer when you werent around |
| hope that most top team from east and west can join.. gl for all team.. |
| nice，I think Ehome will attend |
| Poor DreamHack. Go go ESWC!!!!!!  |
| TAKE THAT IN YOUR FAT FACE HON ! |
| Thats the spirit, GOGO , time for WCG to add DOTA too. |
| It's gonna be hard for blight as they'll need to send puppey/kuroky to usa for qualies and to pay them the trip once again to usa since they will have the trip payed from the place where the qualification were held up, hopefully they won't dissapoint with their sponsorship |
Extreme!!!! :-) and WCG? Why not?? >_< |
| GG |
| A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I'm so looking forward to seeing some great 0 delay games between the best teams out there! |
| no date?? |
| #40 1 to 4 July |
| #19 Every time you post its pack of crap and insults. What are you trying to do? Start flame-wars? ESWC is a great thing for the whole dota community (EU/US/Asia). AT LEAST here DO NOT start Asia/EU crap. Please. |
GG  |
| very nice! don't let us down.. |
| i am one of those signing petitions to let dota in. PROUD  |
| Hope atleast 5 Asian top teams can attend. |
| omg! Finally the organizers made a right decision! GL to all teams |
| just WOW!!good job guys for supporting dota :) |
| Lets hope that asian teams will find the sponsors to attend the tournament .If they do i believe that this is gona be th ebigest turnament of the last 2 years after mym prime defending.I mean it is the mundial of dota.The winner is simply the best.I dodnt believe we have all understood how important this is,. P.S this is a huge chance for dota to take the place it deserves.lets hope that teams and players will show a profesional attitude and will not ruine it. |
| WOW! SO GREAT! THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR DOTA!!!! |
