Epic Esports Events will hold the final stage of the tournament in Moscow from April 27 to May 6. At EPICENTER XL, teams will compete for a prize pool of $1,000,000. This is the largest prize pool in the history of single-discipline esports events held in Russia.
EPICENTER XL Moscow will also be the first-ever Russian-hosted esports tournament to hold Major status. Valve will provide support for the event, and the winning teams of EPICENTER XL in Dota 2 will earn qualification points, which count towards their chances of receiving a direct invite to The International 2018.
