Dota 2 action during the Main Event is likely to be the best we have seen in the past few months. As we begin with the playoffs on February 28, there will be some spicy upper bracket brawls between teams like X vs Y or A vs B, as well as some tense lower bracket matches. The tournament concludes on March 6 with the crowning of the Lima Major Dota 2 champion.
