Dota 2 news » The Fall 2016 Champions Cup

With three weekend tournaments remaining in the Fall 2016 Battle Cup regular season, aspiring post-season contenders still have time to make a final push and raise their Battle Cup Scores high enough to qualify for the inaugural Champions Cup.

Any player with a Battle Cup Score of 110 or higher by the end of play on Sunday, December 11 will earn a golden ticket inviting them to compete against other top performers in the season-ending Champions Cup on Saturday, December 17.

For those who have already battled past the qualifying score, look for golden tickets to start appearing in your Armories next week. A special chat room will be available for ticket holders to help you put together a squad that has what it takes to have the last Ancient standing.

Champions Cup winners will retain their prestige status until the start of the next Battle Cup season, and winners in Tier 8 will even be eligible to compete in one of four Spring Major Battle Cup Qualifiers, with a shot at claiming a spot in their Regional Qualifier for the Spring 2017 Major. More details on the Tier 8 Qualifiers will come in the spring.

As a reminder, due to The Boston Major Main Event schedule, the final regular season Battle Cup will played on Sunday, December 11. You can find the complete Fall 2016 schedule in the Battle Cup FAQ. Please note that the registration window for the Battle Cup on November 26 will remain open for 60 minutes.
