PT Sports Shuffles the Main Five, Brings in Dawn Bulls to Rep the Banner All November

Abed, Elmisho and FCR are on a break. Dawn Bulls stack up with PT Sports for Division 2, a shot at DreamLeague, and BLAST Slam 9.

Rosters move, tournaments don't wait. PT Sports, the sports and esports arm of PlayTime Entertainment, is shuffling its main Dota 2 five, with Abed, Elmisho and FCR taking a break. While that gets sorted, Dawn Bulls (Shad, sanctity-, Xibbe, yamich and Se) are teaming up with PT Sports to rep the banner through November. First stop is the DreamLeague Division 2 qualifier. After that, it's BLAST Slam 9 and a $1,000,000 prize pool. The main roster gets announced once the shuffle is locked.

"This roster has proven that they can compete among the best and have built a foundation despite having a diverse set of players. PT Sports is excited to support their campaign in DreamLeague Division 2 and the awaited BLAST Slam IX, where the best Dota 2 teams in the world will face off," said Isaac James Alfon, Team Manager, PT Sports.

Here's the run. Division 2 Series 5 goes from November 6 to 19. It's 16 teams on Europe West servers, bo3 group stage, then a double-elimination playoff with a $50,000 pool. Top three get a slot at DreamLeague Season 30 (December 2 to 13), 24 teams fighting for $750,000 and ESL Pro Tour points to open the 2026/27 EPT season. Organizers allow one team per organization per event, so Dawn Bulls are the PT Sports entry in Division 2. ESL FACEIT Group started Division 2 in 2025 to give Tier 2 teams a real path into DreamLeague, a series that has been running since 2013.

Then BLAST Slam 9 from (Nov 20–29, verify). If the bracket goes the distance, Dawn Bulls play almost a month straight, from game one on November 6 to the last BLAST day on November 29, with DreamLeague next if they take a slot. PT Sports will post updates on the main roster and the rest of the Dota 2 program as things lock in.
