Following the campus gaming tournaments, Samsung Electronics is thrilled to have launched the Odyssey Cup Dota 2 Championship with a pro versus amateur tournament structure. It involves dual rounds of qualifiers with representatives from six Southeast Asia markets – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam – contending to advance to the Southeast Asia finals.
They will then compete alongside four invited pro teams to vie for a spot in the grand finals, where the top six teams will progress. Concurrently, two teams from two Oceania markets – New Zealand and Australia will join the final playoffs, rounding out the eight teams in a fierce fight for the regional championship title and a cash prize of total up to US$20,000.
The tournament kicked off virtually, with online qualifiers from 21 to 24 September 2024, followed by the Southeast Asia finals on 28 and 29 September 2024. All eight teams will then compete for the top spot in an exciting grand finale that will be held at the Hatten Hotel in Melaka, with the playoffs scheduled from 10 to 13 October 2024.
