Organization and strong rules are part of any ESL tournaments. Some people think it's too much, others think it's necessary to make a fair event but whatever is your opinion, all of their events are good to follow: top teams, high-quality replays and some money to help the teams focus on the victory.
On its fifth edition, the ESL Major Series brings DotA once again. Just to refresh your memory, on the last season the winners and the prizemoney ended this way:
ESM IV | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1st |  Ravens | 750€ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2nd |  diamondZ | 450€ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3rd |  Evil Geniuses | 300€ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
For this season, there is a little change on the prizemoney: they lowered from 750€/450€/300€ to 500€/300€/200€; every other aspect stands the same. The national qualifiers will be played until 12th October and the international qualifier, on 18th of the same month. Signups are about to be announced.
If you lost or didn't watch replays from the last season, just check this page where all matches available will be listed. And, of course, stay tunned for GosuGamers coverage.
