This is a more competitive level! The buy in for this level is $15 and offers some awesome things. There will be great competition and a chance at the highest prize pool! It's awesome.

This one is $1 USD or $5 in steam items and open to all! I will be playing in this one! I hope to win one game. Everyone will progress to some sort of playoffs and it's meant to meet people and have fun.

This is also a good spot for teams that want to work on progressing to the higher divisions in the next season.

Most other games will be played on Thursday evenings starting at 20:30 cet for EU teams and 8:30pm est for NA teams. There will generally be two time slots with one starting at 8:30pm est/20:30 cet and the second starting around 10:00pm est/22:00 cet, again depending on your region. Reschedules are definitely allowed assuming both teams agree!

The group stage will have have one best of two each week.

Who

Unlimited amount of players may enter the 1v1 tournament of the AD2L

What

The AD2L (1v1) - Only Mid

When

EU: Wednesdays, @20.00 CEST

NA/SA: Wednesdays, @7:30pm EDT

Where

Check-in on the Steam Group Chat 15 minutes before start (see above for start time). Boycey, Trenza or Affinity will be in the steam group chat to assist you.

Why

For those of us not as good as DK, we play amateur tournaments.

How

1. Register from your teampage or here. (Can be found from the My Info)
2. Check-in 15 minutes before the tournament from the 1v1 tab here.
3. Use the steam group chat to find your opponent

a. For example, if I’m listed on the bracket as Affinity, and my opponent is A3P, I’ll type into the chat: “Affinity vs A3P, join lobby ad2l123”/li>
b. As a general rule, ask for a caster if you want your game on Dota TV (ticketed). Casters might be calling your team, if so, go join their lobby!

4. The winner will type into the chat (or steam msg Affinity) they won their game.
5. Rinse and repeat steps 2-4 until the 1st place is yours!

We're in a bit of a trial for now! Likely there will be a random rare as a prize for the winner and the top winners will progress to one of our future 1v1 tournaments just for the winners.

$0.00. Feel free to donate/gift items here, and if you haven’t already, purchase the AD2L Season 3 Open ticket and/or the AD2L Season 3 invitational ticket which includes a courier!.

1. Each round will have 3 different heroes to choose from. Each player can ban ONCE. The last hero remaining will be played in a mirror match. You cannot choose any other heroes
