Following the Riyadh Masters 2023 in Saudi Arabia in July, many turned their attention to qualifiers for Dota 2’s The International. The pinnacle tournament is returning to its ancestral home in Seattle, U.S. later in October, and with qualifiers a week away, there didn’t seem enough time for one final event.
However, BetBoom partnered with Armenian event organizer FISSURE to host the BetBoom Dacha, a casual event described as having a “relaxed” atmosphere similar to that of Beyond The Summit’s “The Summit.”
Featuring seven invites including multiple TI-qualified rosters and an online stage with big names, the BetBoom Dacha was a chill and fun end to the main season ahead of the stress and intensity that The International brings.

BetBoom Dacha 2023 tournament format
The BetBoom Dacha featured two main stages, each split into segments.
- Stage One: Online Stage (Aug. 8 to 13)
- Eight invited teams were seeded into two groups and played out a double-elimination play-in bracket. The winners of the upper and lower brackets progressed to the decider bracket and all other teams were eliminated.
- The remaining four teams were seeded again into one final double-elimination bracket, with the winning team joining the seven direct invites at the BetBoom Dacha offline stage.
- Stage Two: LAN Finals (Sept. 10 to 16)
- The online stage qualifier joined the seven invited teams in Yerevan, Armenia, for the offline finals. The event was held at a house in the Armenian capital and came complete with a pool, BBQ grill, and a more comfortable atmosphere than your standard Dota tournament.
- The teams were sorted into two groups of four and played out a round-robin stage of best-of-twos. The top two progressed to the playoffs in the upper bracket, third started in the lower bracket. The remaining teams were eliminated.
- The playoff stage saw all remaining teams play out a double-elimination bracket.
- All playoff matches were best-of-three, with the grand final a best-of-five.
