Dota 2: Puppey revives the FACEIT Pro League

Clement “Puppey” Ivanov is gearing up to revive the FACEIT Pro League for Dota 2.

FACEIT Pro League officially returns to this sport after two years of hiatus. FPL is its own league that includes not only top professional players but also working talent. The tournament includes invited players only. Puppey personally selected the players to attend and he said he sent invitations to them and the managers.

I have reignited the Faceit players league @FPLCircuit for Dota 2. I want managers of teams to check their emails and individual players to check their twitter private messages. Thank you!

FPL in Dota started in 2017, but has a much longer history with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The tournament was then divided into two regions, Europe and North America. Artour “Arteezy” Babaev took first place in North America, while Ivan Borislavov “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov was the best player in Europe. FPL ceased operations in April 2018, after Natus Vincere player Idan “MagicaL” Vardanian became the top.

Gamers will progress from Division 5 to Division 3. They need to win the game, level up, and gain ELO points to advance to the next level. The top 5 players from Division 3 will qualify for the FPL Challenger.

Division 1 of FPL is a battleground for top pro players. The top 2 winners of the FPL Challenger will have a chance to play in the top division of the tournament. The idea is to give the pros a chance to prove their strength in the top arena, while helping the established players. Play with people of the same skill level.
