WELCOME TO THE
For the first time in Dota 2 history, Indonesia will be the main stage where the greatest Dota 2 players will
meet in glorious competition at the Bali Major. We welcome you to one of the most amazing holiday
destination in the world! Who would have thought that the beach, summer and Dota 2 would be the right
combination for a Major.

Let's get to it then. In this media kit, we will share everything that you need to know about Bali Major.
Welcome to Bali, a tropical paradise nestled in the heart of Indonesia! With its pristine
beaches, lush green landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality, Bali is a
destination that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.

Known as the "Island of the Gods," Bali offers a unique blend of natural beauty,
spiritual traditions, and modern indulgences. Picture yourself lounging on breathtaking
beaches, where azure waters gently lap against powdery white sand, while swaying palm
trees provide a soothing shade. From popular spots like Kuta and Seminyak to hidden
gems like Nusa Dua and Sanur, Bali's coastline is a haven for surfers, sun-seekers, and
beach enthusiasts.

Kinda fitting for the Duels of the Ancient place right?
