On October 9th and 10th, the Dota community will once again be treated to a fantastic tournament organised by ESL. The ESL One New York, which will take place at the Theatre in Madison Square Garden, is to set the stage for eight teams who will duke it out for the championship title.

Following the success of ESL One Frankfurt, Toby “TobiWan” Dawson, Austin “Capitalist” Welsh, Troels “Synderen” Nielsen, Ben ‘’Merlini” Wu and Soe “Soembie” Gschwind will once again bring forth quality casting, interviews and additional content. The icing on the cake will be experts Jacob “Maelk” Toft-Andersen and pro player Sebastien “7ckingMad” Debs, who will be joined by Ted 'Pyrionflax' Forsyth in order to fully analyse games and spot out interesting trends and strategies. As usual, Paul 'RedEye' Chaloner will be leading the charge as host of the event.

Last, but not least, eSports legend Marcus 'DJWheat' Graham will join the crew to help elevate the experience even further, given his immense background in the industry. DJWheat had the following to say:

“I'm thrilled and excited to make my hosting debut in Dota 2 at ESL One New York. Dota has an incredibly rich history in eSports and I'm honored to be a part of its growing legacy and work alongside global talent that has ushered new fans (myself included) into the game. With shuffled rosters and teams from every region, this is sure to be a magnificent event for Dota 2, ESL and North America.”

A pleasant surprise for the community is Jacob “SirActionSlacks” Kanner's addition to the ESL One crew. After incredible amounts of work within the scene and securing a spot as a quality Dota 2 entertainer, the decision to bring him on board seems like a no-brainer. Kanner will be providing interviews from crowd in addition to showcasing the incredible experience that ESL One promises to be.

The tournament begins on 9th October in New York.
