ESL One Germany Dota 2: Schedule, standings and bets

ESL One Germany 2020 brings the long-anticipated return of Dota 2 to the calendar, with the schedule set to get under way on October 5.

Sixteen teams are in action to contest the $400,000 prize pool with the tournament being played online. With the absence of The International and no Dota Pro Circuit because of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Dota 2 calendar has been sparse during most of 2020.

But ESL One Germany brings the barren spell to an end, with the likes of Team Secret, OG, Nigma and Team Liquid in action.
