PGL to hold a Major in the United States
Tournament organizer PGL announced the second Major this season — PGL Dota 2 Major Arlington. From August 4 to 14 teams will be competing in Arlington, Texas. The championship will be with an audience at the Esports Stadium Arlington esports facility.
The total prize pool for the PGL Dota 2 Major Arlington will be $500,000. In addition to the money prize, the tournament will draw 3,500 DPC points. That's 800 points more than ESL's May Major. PGL promised to provide more information about the championship’s format later.
PGL Dota 2 Major Arlington is the last DPC 2021/2022 tournament where participants can earn DPC qualification points.
