For their fifth season, Dota Pit chose to grant only two invites to the main event while they prepare a top-notch qualifier stage featuring some of the best teams world-wide.

Set to take place January 20-22 in Split, Croatia, at the Spaladium Arena near year, Dota Pit Season 5 features only two directly invited teams, Wings Gaming and Digital Chaos, the winners and runners-up of The International 2016 respectively.
