While many of the world's teams have shifted to Dota 2, the Philippines will not have any shortage of DotA teams anytime soon. In fact, this current invitational will feature 20 teams.
All participants will receive a small cash incentive upon joining, and of course, a decent amount of pot will be shared by the podium finishers.
The tournament will initially have a Group-Stage, and will shift to single-elimination playoffs afterwards.
