One-third of the 2023 Dota <\/em>Pro Circuit is done after the Lima Major recently concluded<\/a> with Gaimin Gladiator\u2019s triumph<\/a> over Team Liquid, though the latter had to play with a stand-in due to a health emergency<\/a>.<\/p>
While Dota 2<\/em>\u2019s best got to test their mettle at this year\u2019s first LAN event, a mini roster shuffle<\/a> kicked off for everyone else in the interim. Teams around the world again set out on a search to find a working formula as a way to recompose after crashing out of the DPC and Major<\/a>.<\/p>
Given the poor results of some regions at the Lima Major, there were talks regarding<\/a> reducing the available Major slots of weaker ones, but Valve hasn’t made any changes to the distribution of slots yet. The developer has been busy working to improve the game\u2019s competitive integrity, banning over 40 Dota 2<\/em> pros and kicking five teams out of China\u2019s DPC Tour<\/a> in the process. <\/p>
