PREMIER SERIES is a new online Dota 2 tournament organized by Narodnyy Kast studio with support from BetBoom. The event features a $100,000 prize pool and will be played across several stages, bringing together both invited teams and squads that qualify through the early rounds. The tournament structure is divided into three parts: the Play-In stage will run from March 16 to 21, the group stage will take place from April 1 to 7, and the playoffs are scheduled for April 8 to 11. This format allows organizers to filter out contenders through the opening phase before the strongest teams advance to the main stage.

With this format, PREMIER SERIES looks like an ambitious tournament built around a balance between invited tier-one teams and rosters ready to fight their way up through open competition. In the spring Dota 2 calendar, it has the potential to become one of the most notable online events in the CIS and European parts of the scene.

PREMIER SERIES Play-In Format
