The second Dota 2 Major this year is going to be played in Berlin featuring the top 18 teams around the world. Here are the current updates for the upcoming Dota 2 Major tournament of 2023.
With Gaimin Gladiators setting the mood of their victory at the Dota 2 Lima Major, Berlin is getting ready for yet another major tournament for Dota 2. The road to The International is fast approaching as a lot of teams have made their mark in securing a lot of DPC points to be included in the direct invite list. Other teams have yet to collect more DPC points, fighting for a spot in the second Major of the ongoing DPC Season.
The 7.33 update will come late April, just in time for the Berlin Major so we will see a much different meta than the current DPC season of each region. The patch will heavily affect the playstyle of a lot of teams since this will be a major patch incoming for the Major, especially only days before the tournament.
Berlin Major will still have a share of $500,000 prize pool and 2,700 DPC points allotted for the tournament. The winning team will of course get the largest share and would no doubt become frontrunners in having a direct invite to The International.
Here are important details to take note of the Major so far.

There will be a total of 18 Dota 2 teams across the globe competing for the championship of one of the biggest tournaments of Dota 2.
