Earlier this year, our friends over at joinDOTA announced a new project of running a professional Dota 2 league for both; pro's and amateurs alike. Receiving great response from teams across the globe, today, the league is all set to go live.
joinDOTA League is divided on regional basis, namely Asia, America and Europe, comprising a total of 2572 registered teams. The highest number of registered teams hail from Europe followed by America and Asia, respectively. Furthermore, teams have also been allotted to various divisions and groups accordingly.
Moving onto the interesting part, a Premier Division has also been established wherein teams playing on a professional level have been invited. Top ten teams from every region have been chosen to battle against each other. The duration of the first season is said to last about two months.
You can find the list of invited teams below:
| Europe | America | Asia |
|---|---|---|
 Fnatic |  Denial eSports |  Execration |
| Mousesports | eHug |  First Departure |
 Next.kz |  For Sweet Revenge |  Lowyat.net Esports |
 Power Rangers | S A D B O Y S | Mineski |
 rox.KIS |  Swagenteiger |  MiTH.Trust |

| Team Empire | The House is Down |  Rex Regum Qeon |
| Virtus.Pro | Top 5 | Scythe Gaming |
| Sigma.int | Union Gaming |  Spirit Gaming |

The cash prize will be determined through the sale of Dota 2 in-game tickets out of which 100% earnings will be invested into the entire prize-pool. Given the ticket sales don't suffice, a minimum of $5,000 in cash prize is guaranteed. Addtional information about teams and schedule can be found here.
