DreamLeague Season 29 Qualifiers: Schedule, Standings, Results

DreamLeague Season 29 is a major online Dota 2 tournament within the ESL Pro Tour, scheduled to take place from May 13 to 24, 2026. The event will feature 16 teams, while the total prize pool will amount to $1,000,000. The tournament will also award 28,300 EPT points, which are crucial for teams’ standings in the ESL Pro Tour system. Under the current qualification system, six teams will receive direct invites based on the EPT rankings, eight slots will be distributed through regional qualifiers and regional allocations, and two more teams will qualify through DreamLeague Division 2 Season 4. The qualifiers are scheduled for April 8–14, 2026, while Division 2 Season 4 will run from April 19 to May 1.

The tournament format includes a group stage followed by playoffs. In the opening stage, the 16 participants will be split into two groups of eight teams, competing in a single round-robin format. At the end of this phase, the top six teams from each group will advance: teams finishing in 1st–4th place will move into the upper bracket of the playoffs, while those in 5th–6th place will begin in the lower bracket. The final stage will use a Double Elimination format. All matches except the grand final will be played as Bo3, while the championship match itself will be a Bo5. Thanks to its strong lineup, large prize pool, and the high value of EPT points, DreamLeague Season 29 is set to become one of the key events of the spring 2026 Dota 2 season.
