Malaysia is set to host the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 tournament, which will feature 12 top Dota 2 teams competing for a prize pool of US$1 million (RM4.6 million).
The tournament will take place at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec) in Kuala Lumpur.
As stated in a press release, the event will commence with a three-day group stage from December 11 to 13, where two groups of six teams will participate in a single round-robin format.
The top six teams from the group stage will advance to the live playoffs, which will have a double elimination format and will be held from December 15 to 17. Further information regarding the participating teams will be disclosed at a later date.
“This December, we’re bringing back ESL One, bigger & more accessible than ever before, as we move the tournament from Genting to Kuala Lumpur for the first time,” said Shane Clarke, Director of Game Ecosystems – Dota 2 at ESL FACEIT Group.
Malaysia has previously hosted ESL One in 2017, 2018, and 2022 at Genting Highlands in Pahang.
In last year’s tournament, which had a prize pool of US$400,000 (RM1.8 million), the champion team OG from Europe walked away with US$175,000 (RM821,887).
