ESL has announced updates to its Dota 2 rules, impacting two major tournaments: DreamLeague and ESL World Championship (EWC). The changes will take effect immediately, with the most significant adjustments affecting North American teams during the qualification stages.

The revised rules grant North American teams greater flexibility in their roster and scheduling decisions. This move aims to address regional challenges and provide a more balanced competitive environment.

The updates come as ESL continues to refine its tournament structures to ensure fairness and competitiveness across all regions. Teams and players are advised to review the updated rules to stay compliant with the new regulations.
