After the first season's success and the players' never ending request of a second season, the East European DotA Champion kicks off with a new sponsor being Razer and a smoother orgnizing method.

This time the number of regions will be reduced to 6 from 16 so that the tournament can be organized and synchronized more easily than last time. Still 24 countries will be included and hopefully we will have a lot of sign-ups once again, for even more games! The regions will be determined after the sign-ups are closed, so that we can calculate how to merge the regions so that all 6 regions have similar amount of teams included (so same amount of rounds).

From each region, 4 teams will get to qualify to the playoffs, meaning 24 teams. The remaining 8 spots are held for the invited teams, which shall be the previous season's top-8 contenders
