Here are all the DOTA 2 teams that have earned direct qualification to the Lima Major 2023
Having made headlines with the rise of quality within South American teams such as beastcoast & Thunder Awaken last year, the South American region was well-rewarded for its efforts as Valve announced that the first DOTA 2 Major of the 2023 DPC season will be held in the region. The global esports scene was rattled to see the kind of response this particular event received from the local crowd in attendance.
In a joint collaboration, Swedish based company Epulze along with 4D Esports will be working together on the production side of things as they prepare for the upcoming Lima Major, scheduled to take place from 22th February to 5th March. Additionally, the Major will feature a prizepool of $500,000 USD as well as 1,900 DPC points that will split amongst the top eight teams at the Major.
All eighteen teams have been confirmed as of 4th February, with EHOME being the last team to secure the invite.
