Chronology
MDL will be hosting their first tournament outside of China ever, and what a venue to pick for this occasion: together with the Disneyland Paris Event Group, MDL presents the MDL Disneyland Paris Major, the fourth Major of the 2018-19 Dota Pro Circuit.[1] At the beginning of May 2019, 16 of the world's best Dota 2 teams will come to Disneyland Paris outside of downtown Paris, France, to secure their portion of the $1,000,000 USD prize pool and the invaluable DPC points to qualify for The International 2019.
