Another year, another ESL One Dota 2 tournament in Germany. Only this time, we’re saying goodbye to our home of the past three years in Frankfurt and we welcome our newest event location up north - ESL One Hamburg! 2017’s second ESL One event for Dota 2 will bring the world’s best teams into the 16,000 seat Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg to find our new trophy holders. $250,000 are on the line and we could be looking at our eighth unique winner after eight total ESL One tournaments over the past four years.

Ulrich Schulze, Vice President Pro Gaming at ESL, is enthusiastic about bringing ESL One to one of Germany’s most beautiful cities.
“Having ESL One in Frankfurt for three consecutive years was a tremendous learning experience that showed us how much the Dota 2 community cares about the competitive scene and everything around it. We’re confident that with the new location and a better date ESL One Hamburg will once again play host to the world class Dota 2 competition that ESL One is known for.”
