Beyond the Summit is set to return with its fourth BTS Pro Series season, which will include three Dota 2 regions: Americas, Europe/CIS, and Southeast Asia.
The most notable competition of BTS Pro Series Season 4 is in Southeast Asia, with the region’s best Dota 2 organizations competing for the lion’s share of a US$50,000 prize pool. Fnatic’s completed Dota 2 roster will make their debut at the tournament. Meanwhile, Motivate.Trust Gaming will include Vici Gaming’s Nuengnara “23savage” Teeramahanon, who will stand in for the Thai roster.
The three teams fans should keep an eye on are TNC Predator, T1, and SEA superteam stack Team Dog. After Park “March” Tae-won and TNC Predator parted ways, the Korean player decided to join T1 as its new head coach, and formed the organization’s revamped Dota 2 roster. Meanwhile, TNC Predator hasn’t announced a replacement or stand-in, since March departed for T1.
Finally, there’s Team Dog which features Evil Geniuses’ SEA talents: Abed “Abed” Yusop, Daryl “iceiceice” Koh, and, T1’s former carry player, Muhammad “inYourdreaM” Rizky. BTS’ David “Godz” Parker has hinted who the final two members of the SEA superteam are, but no one has been able to confirm their identities just yet.
