Terms and conditions for using this site

By using this website you agree to the terms set out below. They govern how you may use the information published here and clarify what this site is — and just as importantly, what it is not. If you do not accept these terms, please do not use the site. We may update this page from time to time, and continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Informational purpose only

All content on this site is provided for general information about the Dota 2 tournament in Shanghai. It is an independent fan resource and is not an official channel of, and is not endorsed by, Valve Corporation or the tournament organiser. We do not sell tickets, run any part of the competition, or take bets ourselves. Where we reference the official event, we do so descriptively and direct you to official channels for transactions.

We work to keep details accurate and current, but tournaments evolve and announcements change. We make no warranty that every figure, date or status on the site is complete or free of error at the moment you read it, and we encourage you to verify time-sensitive details — schedules, qualifier results, prices — against official sources before acting on them.

Betting, age and the partner sportsbook

This site features promotional links to SpinBetter, a third-party sportsbook. We may earn a commission when you sign up through those links, at no additional cost to you. We do not operate the sportsbook and are not responsible for its services, odds, bonuses or account decisions; your relationship there is governed by that operator's own terms. Any welcome offer we mention is subject to the sportsbook's conditions, which can change without notice to us.

Betting is restricted to adults. You must be at least 18 years old, and you are responsible for ensuring that online betting is permitted where you live before you take part. Gambling carries financial risk, and nothing on this site should be read as a guarantee of any outcome or as financial advice. Please use the guidance on our responsible-gaming page and bet only what you can afford to lose.

Intellectual property and liability

The original text and layout of this site are our own. Team names, the tournament name, game titles and related marks belong to their respective owners and are used here only for identification and commentary. You may share short quotations with attribution, but you may not copy substantial portions of the site without permission.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on the information here or from your use of any third-party service we link to. The site is provided on an as-is basis. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. Return to the homepage for the tournament coverage at any time.
