€550 The Evolution, first public Dota 2 tournament in the Philippines

MANILA - Following The International and The Defense, a new lofty-themed tournament in the Philippines swings up to become the Dota 2 equivalent of the well established MPGL, the event which unites the community for a national DotA-showdown for years. Over 70 teams and counting will find their first opportunity to play Dota 2 this weekend, whilst competing for hardware and converted €550.

After the much acclaimed Mineski pro team already ventured into Dota 2, attending Gamescom, WCG Asia or currently the Premier League, the event department of the Philippine gaming temple follows up with the first public LAN. Compared to Dreamhack, interested players are not in the need to bring their own computers, and can, just like the Swedes, get access to the closed beta without a key.

Starting from the check-in time 09:00 LT on the 11th of February, the tournament will go through a classic group stage and playoff brackets, which will culminate on the following Sunday. The top three await Razer hardware and cash prizes adding up to €550.

Host and highly favoured flagship team MI.PColor will attend, but have a lot of games to endure before earning hails, as over 70 semi professional and amateur teams made their ways past the registration table with many more to follow.

Although no live coverage has been announced in particular, a look at the
mineski stream hub during the tournament days lets chances to catch action from The Evolution rise.

Until then, a trailer with strong similarities to The International's has been produced, attempting to get readers in the mood for the upcoming show.
