This makes CALs structure for the upcoming season the following:
DotA CAL-Invite (I)
DotA CAL-Main (M)
DotA CAL-Intermediate (IM)
DotA CAL-Open (O)
(optionally) DotA EU CAL-Main (M)
DotA EU CAL-Open (O)
With
the CAL-O and CAL-M playoffs coming to their conclusions, the factors
taken into account with promoting teams will be the following, Skill,
Longevity and Sportsmanship. These terms were chosen in an attempt to
take DotA to the next level of E-sports, with lan-events in mind.
By
starting up EU divisions, CAL is hoping to involve the European DotA
scene more in the future of the game, setting a global template to
support the rapid growth in popularity DotA has and is experiencing.
The rules as well as the opening date of registrations for the upcoming season will be announced soon.
