Lima Major playoffs details

Running from 28 February to 5 March 2023, the Lima Major 2023 playoffs will take place in Peru at the awesome Arena 1 venue. This is a double-elimination bracket affair, where all matches are best-of-three, with the exception of the grand finals, which is a best-of-five slugfest.

On Sunday, we will see our first Dota 2 Major champion of 2023 get crowned. The top four teams from each group have advanced to the upper bracket of the Playoffs, while the 5th and 6th-placed teams earn a spot in the lower bracket of the playoffs.

Each day, the action starts at 17:00 SAST, making it great for South Africans to watch, but you might want some coffee for the later matches, which begin at 20:00 and 23:00, respectively. If you can’t watch all the Lima Major 2023 playoffs matches, but just want to watch the Grand Final, then know that it takes place on Sunday, 5 March 2023, starting at 22:00.
