Dota 2 Champions League have announced a very special event this season to warm the hearts of the community and fill the stomachs of those in need.

“What is this Christmas magic”, you may ask. The magic is that this season will be charitable, and everyone will be able to take part. Match format will not be limited to Captain’s Mode either (…) All the money raised through ticket sales will be sent to Food For The Hungry charity. The first 10,000 tickets will be special, as Dreamz Media and FaceIT will add $2 to the total raised sum for every ticket.

All teams will have the opportunity to participate in this event through four separate Open Qualifiers that will be held on the FaceIT platform.

Eight qualified teams will then advance to the main event to compete alongside eight invited teams for the $40,000 prize pool.

To liven things up even more, teams will be able to select the game mode to compete in prior to the start of the match during the main event.
