Following the Riyadh Masters 2023 in Saudi Arabia in July, many turned their attention to qualifiers for Dota 2’s The International. The pinnacle tournament is returning to its ancestral home in Seattle, U.S. later in October, and with qualifiers just a week away, there didn’t seem enough time for one final event.
However, BetBoom has partnered with Armenian event organizer FISSURE to host the BetBoom Dacha, a casual event described as having a “relaxed” atmosphere similar to that of Beyond The Summit’s “The Summit.”

Featuring seven invites including multiple TI-qualified rosters and an online stage with big names, the BetBoom Dacha is set to be a chill and fun end to the main season ahead of the stress and intensity that The International brings.

BetBoom Dacha 2023 tournament format
The BetBoom Dacha has two main stages, each split into segments.
- Stage One: Online Stage (Aug. 8 to 13)
- Eight invited teams are seeded into two groups and play out a double-elimination play-in bracket. The winners of the upper and lower brackets progress to the decider bracket and all other teams are eliminated.
- The remaining four teams are seeded again into one final double-elimination bracket, with the winning team joining the seven direct invites at the BetBoom Dacha offline stage.
- Stage Two: LAN Finals (Sept. 10 to 16)
- The online stage qualifier will join the seven invited teams in Yerevan, Armenia, for the offline finals. The event will be held at a house in the Armenian capital and will come complete with a pool, BBQ grill, and a more comfortable atmosphere than your standard Dota tournament.
- The teams will be sorted into two groups of four and play out a round-robin stage of best-of-twos. The top two progress to the playoffs in the upper bracket, third will start in the lower bracket. The remaining teams will be eliminated.
- The playoff stage sees all remaining teams play out a double-elimination bracket.
- All playoff matches are a best-of-three, with the grand final a best-of-five.
