Ten teams are entered in the $31,500 Americas Divine Division of the Dota 2 event, split into two groups of five.

The group stage features a single round-robin format, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the upper bracket of the playoffs. The third- and fourth-place teams from each group will head to the play-in stage to determine who advances to the lower bracket, with the losers moving into the quarterfinals of the second-tier Americas Ancient Division playoffs. The fifth-place teams also will be slotted into the quarterfinals of the Americas Ancient Division playoffs.

All matches are best-of-three until the best-of-five grand final, scheduled for Sept. 5. The double-elimination playoffs begin Aug. 28, and the champion will receive $12,000.

Quincy Crew have already locked up the top spot in Group A with a 4-0 round robin, leaving one remaining upper-bracket playoff berth.
