Unlike its \u201cbig brother\u201d, <strong>this tournament will have fewer teams<\/strong> and a much smaller prize pool. Moreover, it will take place online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DreamLeague Division 2 Season 3 will take place between February 4 and 12, and it will feature a <strong>$50,000 prize pool<\/strong>. While the <strong>prize pool itself is not that impressive<\/strong>, the winner will also get the chance to play at DreamLeague Season 28. The latter will be a <strong>$1,000,000<\/strong> event, which begins just a few days after this event concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All Teams Competing at DreamLeague Division 2 Season 3 (Full Roster)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our Division 2 Season 3 teams are now locked in! \ud83d\udd12<br><br>Only one of them will rise to the top and be invited to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DreamLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#DreamLeague<\/a> Season 28 \ud83d\udcaa<br><br>Season 3 kicks off on February 4th! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Cu4gJSS9yA\">pic.twitter.com\/Cu4gJSS9yA<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESL Dota2 (@ESLDota2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESLDota2\/status\/2016493795194339464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 28, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that this is a Tier 2 tournament, DreamLeague Division 2 Season 3 will give us access to a lot of <strong>well-known Dota 2 teams.<\/strong> Here is the complete list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Virtus.Pro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aurora Gaming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Team Silk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1w Team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inner Circle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AVULUS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nigma Galaxy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zero Tenacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Teams Are Favorites to Qualify for DreamLeague Season 28?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can immediately notice that AVULUS, Aurora Gaming, and Nigma Galaxy are one step above the rest.
