While the Dota 2 competitive scene may not be as dominant as Counter-Strike 2 or League of Legends, it remains one of the most iconic esports in the world. The MOBA continues to have a strong and passionate global fanbase, and that is something PGL is clearly betting on.
That’s why it’s no surprise that PGL, one of the biggest esports tournament organizers worldwide, has announced it will continue organizing Dota 2 tournaments all the way through 2028.
13 Dota 2 tournaments confirmed by PGL
Through an official blog post, PGL confirmed that it will host a total of 13 Dota 2 tournaments between late 2025 and 2028. Each tournament will feature a $1,000,000 prize pool, reaffirming PGL’s serious commitment to the game.

$13 million total in prize money across four years
Each tournament will award $1 million in prize money, making for a combined total of $13 million invested directly into the competitive Dota 2 scene by PGL.
This move reinforces Dota 2’s relevance and keeps professional teams and players engaged year after year.
Tournament names and locations still unconfirmed
PGL did not confirm whether it will continue using the Wallachia branding for upcoming seasons. It’s unclear if new themes or event identities will be introduced starting in 2026 or beyond.
Another detail that remains uncertain is the location of the tournaments. PGL has traditionally held most of its Dota 2 events in Romania, its home country. However, no official confirmation has been made on whether this will continue or if new regions will host future events.
