+ Show Spoiler + Before we introduce our new league, let's do a quick flashback. DotA veterans might remember Pick League, hosted by Dota-League for a very long time. Before it shut down in 2011, Pick League was the most consistent place for European amateur and semi-pro teams to compete. Checking the current the division and position of a team within PL became the most simple way to roughly estimate its skill level. While Dota 2 brought many amazing improvements to the competitive scene, nobody has - in our opinion - been able to adequately fill the gap that Pick League has left behind. joinDOTA is hoping to do that by introducing the joinDOTA League with a similar format. How does the joinDOTA League work? >>> Divisions and Groups The joinDOTA League (short: jDL) will be a league system for an infinite amount of teams divided into several divisions. The best teams will play in Division 1, the next best ones in Division 2, and so on and so forth. The number of divisions depends on the amount of participants, we expect there to be 5 or 6 in Europe by the end of the year. When a season starts, each division will be divided into groups of about ten teams. Division 1 will only be one group, Div 2 will have two or three, Div 3 even more, and so forth. All teams within a group face each other throughout a season in a two game round robin format to create a group ranking. >>> Promotion and Relegation At the end of a season, the best performing teams from each group get promoted to play in a higher division in the next season, while the worst performing ones might get relegated. Some will have to play playoff matches to decide about their future division. This way you can climb up or down the ladder from season to season. Prize money is only paid out for the teams in Division 1 (also called Premier Division). The goal for everyone else is to get promoted to the Premier Division - or to just play good matches for fun. >>> Three Leagues: Europe, America, Asia In order to avoid server and time zone issues, we're not starting one, but three different leagues. One for Europe (including Russia, Africa, and parts of East Asia), one for America (North & South America), and one for Asia (mostly SEA, also including Australia). These three leagues will run separately from each other to avoid high ping matchups. While it's highly recommended for everyone to sign up for the league according to their region, the final decision is left to the teams themselves based on their server and playtime preferences. >>> Local Play On top of the strict separation into three parts of the world, some parts of the leagues are going to be even more regional. Some very significant Dota nations (like Russia, Sweden, or Germany in Europe) will have national groups in lower divisions. Those are embedded into the whole league system and do not make it easier or more difficult to be promoted, they are simply only for teams from the given country. Division 1 and 2 will be purely international. This way some teams get the great experience of competing within their own country, while everybody, regardless of his origin, still has an equal chance to get to the top. | ||

My only concern is then what the motivation will be for divisions 3-4+ teams to keep playing and show up for matches etc. | ||

This could be the biggest motivation. Why join if you don't show up? | ||

As in, if people pick it up the league will be awesome but I don't really see the impetus to get this going anywhere. | ||

Moreover, there will be some countries where the league will be local. I find it awsome to compete against other teams from my country to see if i can finish on a higher position then my friends/enemies. | ||

From experience in SC2CL I learned that near the end of the season most teams just stop bothering to turn up if they are in the lower half of their division.. | ||

Pretty unavoidable honestly in the lower divisions. | ||
