After Dota 2's release in 2013, Valve decided to amplify the competitive Dota 2 landscape scene by launching their Major Championships and changing esports as we knew it by boasting the largest prize pools in esports history. The first Major tournaments took place in 2015 and incorporated the existing event, the International, into their proceedings.

This year's competition in 2023 is the latest iteration of developer Valve Corporation's Dota Major Championships, a series of prestigious Dota 2 events that occur annually. The Lima Major is the first Major kicking off the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit season with a bang. Some of the best Dota 2 teams will come together from across the globe to compete for a share of the substantial prize pool of $500,000 USD and the 1,900 Pro Circuit points on offer.

The Lima Major group stage sees 18 competing teams split evenly into two groups of nine. A round-robin format of exciting best-of-two matches will determine which 12 successful teams advance to the all-important Playoffs at the end of February.

Six of the nine teams from the group stages will earn playoff spots, where they will engage in exciting best-of-three matches. The top four teams automatically progress to the upper bracket, while the fifth and sixth-placed teams will be in the lower bracket. All remaining teams are eliminated from the tournament.
