DreamLeague Season 29 begins this Tuesday (13) and is expected to have a direct impact on the race for qualification spots at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Dota 2. The tournament features 16 teams competing online through May 24, with a total prize pool of US$1 million and crucial ESL Pro Tour (EPT) points on the line.
The competition will be played on Patch 7.41c, a factor that could influence team performances and reshape the international competitive landscape. Organizations already qualified for the Esports World Cup enter the event with less pressure, while others still rely heavily on strong results to secure a place at the season’s biggest tournament.
Among the teams currently in a comfortable position in the EPT standings are Tundra Esports, Xtreme Gaming, Aurora Gaming, PARIVISION, Vici Gaming, and Team Spirit. On the other hand, teams such as Team Falcons, Team Liquid, BetBoom Team, Virtus.pro, Natus Vincere, and Nigma Galaxy are still fighting for key points to secure qualification.
BetBoom Team enters the event as one of the main favorites after winning PGL Wallachia Season 8. The team’s recent performance has placed them back among the title contenders, especially after inconsistent showings in previous tournaments.
For players who follow competitive Dota 2 tournaments and are looking for a more stable connection during matches, the Brazilian Game Booster platform NoPing stands out as an alternative for network optimization. Operating for more than 10 years, the service reduces ping, lag, packet loss, and network instability by creating more efficient routes between players’ computers and online game servers.
New users can also access a free trial, allowing them to test the platform and experience improvements in stability and in-game performance firsthand.
