It’s finally time for the Dota 2 Shanghai Major; the second stop on the road to The International 6 and the first multi-million dollar Dota 2 tournament of 2016. Of course, with all the action taking place in China, keeping tabs on match times and results for the Shanghai Major can be a bit of pain. So we’ve made all the necessary time zone conversions and rounded up details on all five Best of Three series scheduled to run during the first day of the tournament’s Group Stage.
As always, those interested in watching the Dota 2 Shanghai Major will find official streams in a variety of places. Longtime Dota players already know the tournament will be viewable in the Dota 2 client, as is the case with any/every major event. The experience has also been slightly improved for the Shanghai Major, with Valve confirming the addition of a new feature that allows viewers to vote for the MVP of each match in the tournament. Those who don’t currently have access to a computer with the Dota 2 client installed can also watch all of the action on Twitch or via Steam Broadcasting.
