Dota 2 action during the Main Event is likely to be the best we have seen in the past two years. As we begin with the Main Event on 12th Oct 2021, there will be some spicy upper bracket brawls between teams like Team Secret and OG, as well as some tense lower bracket matches such as Evil Geniuses vs Elephant. We will witness the making of history on 17th Oct when the grand final will take place and the tenth Dota 2 world champion will be crowned. OG is the reigning world champion.
