OGA Dota PIT returns in China, EU/CIS for Season 4

OGA Dota PIT returns with Season 4. With the Chinese division of the event getting underway on December 3, the organization has announced that it will be followed by a Europe/CIS event in mid-December.

From December 15-18, eight teams will compete for $150,000. The format will be a double-elimination bracket, with best-of-three playoff series and a best-of-five grand final.

The teams invited include:

Notably absent are Team Secret, who are surely in need of a break after seeing their eight-tournament winning streak broken this fall by Team Liquid, who are the other notably absent team. While these squads won't be attending, the EU/CIS region has a lot of depth, and any of the squads competing at Dota PIT could easily show up and take the crown.

Still, there are some stand out rosters: Vikin.gg have been on a hot streak, and should surely be considered a top contender. Virtus.pro's "new" roster is also looking really strong at the currently-ongoing EPIC League.

We'll bring you all the action as Dota PIT unfolds. This could easily be the final EU/CIS region tournament of 2020, which would likely make it the last event for the region before the new Dota Pro Circuit season gets underway in January. While it may well be that Valve has already decided which eight teams will play in their top league and which eight will play in the lower one, it's also possible performances at this event will help finalize those decisions.
