Pinnacle Launches DOTA 2 eSports Tournament

Pinnacle has continued its growth within the esports sector with the announcement of its second proprietary tournament, this time moving into Dota 2.

The Pinnacle Cup – Dota event boasts an impressive $100,000 total prize pool and will feature some of the very best Dota 2 teams from across Europe.

The competition kicks off on May 5, comprising an initial 10-team round-robin stage, followed by a best-of-three double-elimination bracket. Two teams will be invited to the playoffs to join those qualifying via the round-robin stage. Then there will be the semi-finals and a best-of-five grand final, which is scheduled to take place on May 30.
