DPC CN 2021/22 Tour 1: Division I kicks off today with eight of China’s best Dota teams fighting for qualification to the first Dota Major of the year, a prize pool of US$205,000 and 690 Dota Pro Circuit points.

But which team will emerge victorious?

If you think you know, you could win a 12-month subscription to Dota Plus.

Here’s how it works.

We’ve leveled up our Fantasy experience and there are now two ways to play: Pick’Em and Live Fantasy.

Whichever format you’re playing, you’ll be able to earn Fantasy Tokens. At the end of the tournament, the 10 players who have earned the most Fantasy Tokens from playing Live Fantasy or Pick’Em will win Dota Plus subscriptions.

  • 1st place — 12-month subscription
  • 2nd to 4th place — 6-month subscription
  • 5th to 10th place — 1-month subscription

How to play ONE Esports Fantasy Pick’Em

Before each match starts you’ll have the opportunity to earn Fantasy Tokens by playing Pick’Em.

All you have to do is predict the answer to three questions for the upcoming match:

  • Who will win?
  • Which team will get the most kills?
  • How many Roshans will be killed?

Think carefully because you’ll need to answer all three questions correctly to score any points.

All players who correctly answer all three questions will split a prize pool of 3,000 Fantasy Tokens.

E.g. If 10 players answer all three questions correctly, they will each earn 300 Fantasy Tokens, but if only five players answer all three questions correctly, they will each earn 600 Fantasy Tokens.

How to play ONE Esports Live Fantasy

Live Fantasy is ONE Esports’ latest fantasy experience, letting you enjoy the fantasy experience right as the game is happening.

Here’s how it works.

In each match, you’ll be able to spend resources to add players to your roster. As players pick up kills, assists, and win objectives, your team will earn points. The better your players perform, the more points you’ll earn.

The players with the greatest number of points at the end of the match will win Fantasy Tokens.

How to create your roster 

At the beginning of every Live Fantasy match, players will start at Level 1 and be given 100 Resources to spend to add players to their roster.

To add a player to your roster, follow these steps: 

  1. Click on Resource cost to the right of every player in the team menu. 
  2. The chosen player should now be added to your roster. You can even have multiple copies of the same Athlete. To do this, click on the ‘+’ sign on your chosen player. 

Each player’s Resource cost increases or decreases depending on how well they’re performing.

Changing your roster and frozen rosters 

You can add and remove players in your roster throughout the match, as long as you have the resources to do so. The only time where you will not be able to change your roster is when team and roster menus are Frozen.

This happens when there are major events happening such as big team fights. Once the team fight has concluded, the Frozen status will revert to Unfrozen and you will be able to modify your rosters again.

Leveling up and gaining more resources 

As you earn points throughout the match, you will level up. Leveling up grants you more resources to spend on your roster thus improving the number of points you can potentially earn. 

Information Tabs (Desktop)

You can find helpful information about Live Fantasy and the match you are in such as the rules, leaderboards, milestones, and match events in the tabs below the stream.
