Kiev Major


The Kiev Major was a professional Dota 2 esport tournament that was held in April 2017 at the National Palace of Arts in Kiev, Ukraine. The tournament featured eight directly invited teams, as well as eight qualified teams from six different worldwide regions.
The open qualifiers tournament was held on March 6–9, 2017, followed by the regional qualifiers held on March 10–13, 2017. For the first time in an officially sponsored tournament, Valve, the game's developer and tournament administrator, split the previously single Americas region into North and South America, as well as creating the CIS region out of Europe. The event had a $3 million prize pool, with the winning team taking $1 million. The best-of-five grand finals took place between OG and Virtus.pro, with OG taking the series 3–2, winning them their fourth Dota 2 Major championship.
