Largest ever Dota 2 event to take place at former World Cup stadium

The Electronic Sports League (ESL) is bringing eSports to one of Germany’s World Cup football stadiums with the largest Dota 2 event to date.

The Commerzbank-Arena will play host to the eSports competition on June 28th and 29th.

Over the course of tow days, eight of the world’s best Dota 2 teams will take to their computers in order to decide the ESL One Frankfurt 2014 champion, where the winners will take one the lion’s share of the $150,000 prize pool.

“Our newly launched ESL One season will see some of the best Dota 2 action the world has to offer. I’m very excited to see finals played out centre stage at such an iconic stadium,” said managing director of Pro Gaming, Ulrich Schulze.

“With a focused goal of creating legendary esports experiences for our fans, ESL One Frankfurt will be the first of many massive scale ESL events in the years to come.”
