The information initially came to light following a recruitment consultant advertising a role including sales for the “Dota 2 Major Paris”. ESI reached out to sources who confirmed that Paris will be the destination for a Major and added the event will be at Disneyland Paris, in partnership with Mars Media<\/strong>, who are best known in the Dota scene for operating MDL.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It will not be Disney’s first move into the esports space, as they continue to push an esports agenda. The company has already shown\u00a0the Overwatch league<\/a> and Injustice 2 Pro Series Grand Finals<\/a> on its pay television channel Disney XD<\/strong>, and ran the League of Legends Open Tour France in December.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

No further details have been confirmed regarding the event, although the two remaining Major slots are between the following dates: May 2-12th and June 20-30th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event will represent the first time that Dota\u00a02 heads to the French capital which has a history of hosting large League of Legends events. Sebastian ‘7ckngMad’ Debs is the most notable Frenchman in the Dota 2 scene having recently been part of the improbable journey of OG’s Dota 2 roster to glory at The International last summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dota 2 circuit next heads to Stockholm for the Dota 2 Major with teams such as Virtus.pro and Team Secret already having secured coveted places at The International, which historically boasts the largest prize pool in esports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Esports Insider says: C’est tres bien! The French Dota\u00a02 scene is nowhere near as established as their League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive scene but given the location of the event it wouldn’t surprise us to see sell-out crowds. It’s good to see Valve challenging League and taking Dota to yet another new country in Europe.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
