WeSave! Charity Play is bringing together almost every top Dota 2 team to play in a charity tournament as the community works to fill the gap left by the postponement of the ESL One Los Angeles Major and other canceled events.
The tournament will have 24 teams, four from each of the six Dota regions, competing for a $120,000 prize pool that will be split into $20,000 for each region and donated to help raise awareness and fight the coronavirus. The event is being held completely online, with full broadcasts available in both English and Russian.
Because it is an online tournament, there will be six separate brackets for each region rather than one large one with all of the teams placed into it. This will help keep the event on a tight schedule while also providing the best match experience for the players, broadcasters, and viewers.
Here is the full schedule for what matches will take place over each day as the event runs from March 20 to 26.

Viewers will be able to donate throughout the event to add to the $120,000 total.
