18 of the best Dota 2 teams in the world gather once more. And yet, several more sit at home, hoping what they’ve done so far is enough.

The Bali Major is the last chance for many teams to secure direct qualifications for The International 12 in October. Five teams have confirmed their attendance for Dota 2’s premier event — leaving seven up for grabs. Not every team competing are attending the Major, however, but the ones at Indonesia’s first-ever Major have their fate in their own hands.

Here is everything you need to know about the Berlin Major.

What is the Bali Major?

The Bali Major is the third and final Major of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit. 18 teams from six different regions battle over two weeks to claim the championship and their share of the US$500,000 prize pool.

More importantly, this is the last chance to secure DPC points — 3,500, to be exact. With seven slots still up for grabs, teams will be hoping to secure their TI12 tickets right here and now, instead of going through the Regional Qualifiers gauntlet.

Format of Bali Major

The 18 attending teams are split into two groups. Each team will play a best-of-two round-robin to determine their final standings.

The top four teams in each group are directly seeded into the upper bracket of the playoffs. The next two teams qualify for the lower bracket. We will unfortunately say goodbye to the last three teams, who will be eliminated.

Bali Major prize pool

The Bali Major has a US$500,000 prize pool and 3,500 DPC points up for grabs, up from the Lima Major’s 1,900 and Berlin’s 2,700.
