The Dota 2 league Organizers booked their fifth season for the month of May 2017, giving a more than comfortable six months notice to everyone interested in their event.
Mars Dota 2 League kickstarted the Fall 2016 competitive season with the MDL Autumn event in September this year, and are now one of the first tournament organizers to confirm the dates for their 2017 Spring event. MDL 2017 will take place from the 10th of May to 14th of the same month, with eight of the best teams world-wide competing in China.
No other details were given regarding the tournament format, exact location or the prize pool for the fifth edition of MDL, but taking a look back at the previous seasons, this 2017 one will be much likely very similar to the 2015 Spring edition. From all four MDL events only the 2015 Spring one featured a five day main event, Season 2, 3 and 4 having all been played over a weekend.
