The most talented Dota 2 teams from around the world will be gathering in Bali, Indonesia and the stakes are higher than compared to the last Majors; Bali’s prize pool features the highest amount of DPC points in the season, and securing a clutch placement here could allow a team to squeeze into the invitee list for TI12.
