Maincast Studio will Provide Professional Coverage for the CryptØmasters Dota 2 Tournament

The professional eSports studio Maincast will provide coverage for the exclusive broadcast of the CryptØmasters Dota 2 tournament. The championship will be held from October 15 to 21 with the total prize pool of $ 30,000 to be shared among the participants of the playoffs. The championship will be covered by the best commentators and analysts from the Maincast studio — Vitalii “V1lat” Volochai, Arthur “Goblak” Kostenko, Michael “Olsior” Zverev and many others.

Sixteen teams from Europe and the CIS will compete not only for the prize pool, but also for 1,000,000 LUC (Level Up Coins — a special in-house currency of the P2L.TV platform). Moreover, the spectators will be actively engaged in the process, too, through getting a chance to win giveaways for Dota 2 Arcana items.

The tournament will be held in multiple stages, with the first four days to be played in a group stage. All competitors will be divided into four groups consisting of four teams each to play matches in a best-of-one format (until the first victory). By the results of these matches, the top competitors from each group will then continue to the single elimination playoffs. The playoffs are scheduled to run from October 19 to 21 and will be played in a best-of-two series with the winners advancing all the way to the best-of-three grand finals.

All the teams progressing to playoffs will qualify for the prize pool. In that, the first place winner will get the half of it — $15,000. The silver medal winner will receive $5,000, with the 3rd and 4th places to get $2,000 each. The rest of the prize pool will be distributed into shares of $1,500 to be paid out to the rest of playoff participants.

While the complete list of the participants is to be defined in the upcoming days, here are the teams that have already confirmed participation in the tournament:
• EPG
• Team Spirit
• Team Lithium
• Espada
• Technopark
• FCDB
• WuTang

The tournament will be broadcast in Russian and English. While coverage for the English-speaking community will be provided by Admir “Lizzard” Salkanovich and Darren Killerpigeon Elmy, the Russian-speaking team from Maincast will include Ivan “Faker” Demkin, Vitalii “V1lat” Volochai, Michael “Olsior” Zverev, Vladimir “PGG” Anosov, Arthur “Goblak” Kostenko, Vladislav “KVYZEE” Kovalchuk, Maxim “TroN” Vernikov and Dmitry “FlunkyFlame” Meshkov.
