MarsTV Dota 2 League: groups and schedule

The Battle Fury trophy is ready to be claimed by the second season of MDL winners. Teams have arrived in Wuxi, China and groups have been drawn with Team Secret finding themselves the only European team in group B.

The team cast for the second season of MDL is quite extraordinary which marks the tournament as the last big rehearsal for some of the participants, before the Shanghai Major.  From all ten teams attending the LAN event, OG are the only ones to make their 6.86 patch debut in competitive matches after six weeks of silence since their Summit 4 appearance.

Eight teams will advance from the group stage into the double elimination playoff bracket, last team from each group leaving the competition.

The group stage is played in a round robin, two games series format and will also count for teams upper/lower bracket seeding. 

Get ready for a twelve hours Dota 2 marathon, because the group stage will be fully decided across one day with four series played at the same time and four streams to cover all the games.
