ACE's sponsor forces D2L to reschedule
Dota2League suffers some schedule changes close to the start of the season. Instead of two matches a day, five days a week there will be three matches a day, two days a week. The reason is a demand given by ACE's largest sponsor.

The fourth season of D2L, which is by far their biggest season as of yet, is set to start in just a few hours. Their original plan was to broadcast two matches each day, five days a week. Now, due to the largest sponsor of WPC-ACE not approving of D2L having matches on the same days as ACE League, they are forced to rework the schedule. Luckily, the new schedule is live already and the first matches will still go up at the same time as earlier. Only now, there will be three matches a day, but only two days a week. Matches are broadcasted by Ayesee.
The schedule was previously known and agreed to by all involved parts and ACE did not express any problems with Dota2League, the concern surfaced within the last days from ACE's sponsor as mentioned above. The D2L organisation are working to fill out the week with other content when there are not any live matches played but no details are announced as of yet.
Dota2League admin Gianni Rosheuvel confirms that the changes in the East Division will not impact the West Division which is scheduled to roll out November 4th. Neither the Pre-Playoffs (December 6 to 8) will be affected.
