Dota Pro Circuit 2021 Changes and How They’ll Affect Dota 2 Betting Opportunities

Happy new year, boys and girls – hope it’s a great one; realistically though, let’s just hope it’s no worse than 2020. In many ways, 2021 will bring forth a fresh start. The same can be said about Valve’s Dota 2. Dota’s esports scene took a huge hit last year – its Pro Circuit had to undergo major changes, and its biggest event (The International 2020) had to be canceled. 2021 DPC betting frenzy is just about to start, so I reckon now is the time to see if there’s anything new on Dota 2 bookmakers this year!

This year’s Dota Pro Circuit is set to start on January 17^th, 2021 and aims to bring forth a whole year’s worth of top-notch competitive Dota madness. There are just a few more days left until the kickoff, so let’s see what this season of Dota Pro Circuit is all about.

2021 DPC Betting | Changes Affecting Betting Opportunities

First things first – 2021 DPC betting opportunities will be unlike anything you’ve seen thus far. How come? Well, Valve has recently announced a set of changes that completely alter the way the DPC is going to be played.

But, as far as betting on Dota 2 goes, perhaps these changes will have some effect after all. Here’s what you need to know about 2021 DPC betting options:

Two Seasons

The biggest change is the following – the DPC will now consist of two seasons per year. A Major will cap each season (that means just two Majors per year), followed by The International. There will be no more Minors. Yep, Minors are a thing of the past, set to be replaced by Regional Leagues with lower and upper divisions. The qualification system is pretty straightforward – check this piece out if you want more details.

Finally, the end of the 2021 DPC betting frenzy is going to be The International 10, the most prestigious esports event ever! It’s going to pave the way for the best Dota 2 teams in 2021 to go up against each other in what’s bound to be the pinnacle of 2021 esports.

The International 10

Unfortunately, we don’t know much information on the all-new The International 10. The Last year’s event had to be canceled, I’m sure you all know that, which has doubled everyone’s expectations. Everyone seems to expect TI10 to have double the prize pool, double the duration, and double the thrills…

I’m not saying it’s going to be worse than it has been in previous years… all I’m saying is we shouldn’t expect too much from it.
