Since then, it has been a dry spell.

Dota 2 official games were limited to qualifiers and a few regional events sprinkled around the map.

Fast & Furious League Play

The schedule for the regional leagues went down from six weeks to just three.

This is a big improvement and something that the professional scene has asked for the past two years.

Split Divisions

This year Valve has decided to do something new.

The two divisions of each regional league will not be played in the same time frame anymore.

Division 2 will start once Division 1 matches are over.

There have been some massive shakeups and new rosters hitting the field.
