Dota Professional League (DPL) and Chinese Dota 2 Professional Association (CDA) are set to join forces.
The DPL-CDA has been formed to consolidate competitions after a substantial increase in Dota 2 tournaments has hit China. After the coronavirus pandemic wiped much the esports calendar, Chinese organisations have devised online leagues to fill the gap.
The combined league will come into effect after the ongoing season of the CDA league ends on April 19th, with the seventh iteration of DPL already being cancelled.
Chinese Dota 2 teams come together to establish CDA, with the likes of Vici Gaming, LGD Gaming, Invictus Gaming, Team Aster, Royal Never Give Up, EHOME, Newbee, and Keen Gaming all founding the league.
