GEST Dota 2 to continue



After a successful run of the GEST Dota 2 last year, DotaTalk is proud to announce the tournament's return. The event will be participated by teams who advance through various qualifiers.

The Gigabyte E-Sports Tournament (GEST), one of the biggest SEA tournaments, is having its continuation from last year's dry run. The tournament will have 8 different qualifiers, 7 of which are only open for SEA countries.

This year's GEST will be merged with the Gigabyte Mineski Professional Gaming League (GMPGL), on which the format for the tournament will be adapted from.

Gigabyte Mineski Professional Gaming League Qualifiers

The amount of slots allocated for every qualifier will depend on the amount of teams that register, which can be either on the 32-team or 64-team category. If there are 32 teams that participate in the qualifier, only 1 team will advance to the main event to represent their region. If there are 64 teams that participate though, it is possible that the top 2 teams will advance to the main event. This is still, however, up to the discretion of the organizers.

In all SEA qualifiers, teams who made it into the top few places will be granted a portion of the prize pool. However, the 'Non-SEA' qualifier will have no prize pool.
