ESL One KL: Schedule, results, teams, streams
We’re back.
Looks like Dota’s back on the menu, boys — and it’s coming back to Kuala Lumpur.
ESL One KL, running from December 11 to 17, features 12 of the world’s best teams after a grueling series of qualifiers. We’ll get to see three of the top four teams at The International 2023 as well — though there will be some massive personnel changes.
Here’s everything you need to know about ESL One Kuala Lumpur.
What is ESL One Kuala Lumpur?
ESL One Kuala Lumpur is officially the second event of the ESL Pro Tour 2024, and the first major LAN event after The International 2023.
Featuring a US$1 million prize pool and EPT points — a sort-of replacement for the now-abolished Dota Pro Circuit — 12 of the best teams in the world are fighting for direct invites to ESL’s new events, as well as a potential showdown tournament in July.
