ESL Pro Tour Season is set to practically replace Valve’s Dota Pro Circuit with six events announced for 2024.
ESL’ calendar for the 2024 ESL Pro Tour (EPT) is stacked with online and LAN tournaments that will each boast a one million dollars prize pool, direct invites, and regional qualifiers and will each keep the newly introduced MENA region. The upcoming ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 set to commence on December 11 is just the first competition of the 2024 EPT.
Moving into the new year, the EPT will resume in February with DreamLeague Season 22, followed by an ESL One LAN tournament hosted in Europe in the second part of the month of April. The next DreamLeague Season is scheduled for May, while for June ESL has a yet to be revealed tournament.
Moving forward into the year, the EPT will feature one more DreamLeague season followed by an end of the year LAN event held in Asia.
