The ESL Pro Circuit is set to host another significant Dota 2 tournament, with a prize pool exceeding one million dollars, before the year wraps up. This tournament, taking place in Southeast Asia, will feature 12 teams competing in Bangkok, Thailand, with a top prize of $300,000 and a share of ESL Pro Tour points up for grabs.
Following the Blast Slam I event, this competition will utilize the 7.37e patch. As the meta has shifted over the course of the recent tournaments, it appears that ESL One Bangkok will not showcase the same dominance from heroes like Alchemist, Morphling, and Dragon Knight within the carry roles. This change is expected to lead to the emergence of new heroes across various positions, reflecting a broader evolution in gameplay strategies.
Here’s a comprehensive overview of ESL One Bangkok 2024, including participating teams, tournament format, schedule, standings, and more.
