Pinnacle has continued its growth within the esports sector with the announcement of its second proprietary tournament, this time moving into Dota 2.
The competition kicks off on May 5, comprising an initial 10-team round-robin stage, followed by a best-of-three double-elimination bracket. Two teams will be invited to the playoffs to join those qualifying via the round-robin stage. Then there will be the semi-finals and a best-of-five grand final, which is scheduled to take place on May 30.
The partnership between Pinnacle and GRID strides into another fantastic event, with Pinnacle continuing to offer the very best in esports betting and content, alongside GRID’s unrivalled data input and top-quality streaming that was proven in the initial event. Fans can expect the very best again from this second iteration of the Pinnacle Cup.
Pinnacle CEO Paris Smith said: “After a fantastic start to the Pinnacle Cup, we are delighted to carry on this series with RELOG Media, expanding further into the esports ecosystem. The heart of what we do at Pinnacle is engaging with the esports community and with the introduction of the Pinnacle Cup - Dota, we plan to further reinforce that connection with the wider esports audience.
“There is no better way for us to continue this journey, than branching out into Dota 2, where we can continue offering fans the best connection to their favourite esports teams and players. We are ambitious and excited for what this tournament will bring and look forward to continuously setting the standard for these types of event.“
