North America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe have already completed the qualifiers for DreamLeague Season 23. The final four regions continue to the battle.

Twelve teams will be competing at DreamLeague Season 23. Of those 12, four teams have been directly invited – Falcons, Gaimin Gladiators, BetBoom Team, and Xtreme Gaming. The remaining eight teams will be determined through the qualifiers. 

The teams will gather next month in bootcamps in Europe to participate at DL Season 23 for a share of the $1,000,000 prize pool and and 26,100 EPT points. At this point with no DPC, many expect that the EPT points will be critical for participating in ESL’s LANs and might be the biggest factor in determining The International 2024 invites. 

DreamLeague Season 23 will be followed by an ESL One LAN tournament in Asia, dates and location to be announced. This will be the least DreamLeague Season before The International 2024. 

So far three regions – North America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe have determined their regional reps. 

Aurora Gaming – Southeast Asia

Shopify Rebellion – North America

Natus Vincere – Eastern Europe

While Aurora and Shopify might not be all that surprising, that is interesting to see is Na’Vi’s return to higher competitive status. The once iconic Ukrainian organization has since fallen from glory over the last few years. Thought it could have to do with their recently revamped roster. Artem “Yuragi” Golubiev has joined the mix, along with Sukhbat “sanctity-” Otgondavaa, a young mid laner who made himself noticed at Lilgun during the Dota Pro Circuit leagues and more recently at IHC Esports.

This will be an excellent proving ground for the organization as the competition season heats up. 

The remaining four regions will conclude on March 24th, finalizing the full DreamLeague Season 23 lineup.
