The energy drink brand VOLT Energy and the retail chain 'Pyaterochka' are organizing a new large-scale esports tournament for Dota 2, where hundreds of teams from all over Russia will compete. The prize pool for the tournament will be 5,000,000 rubles.

The grand final will take place on September 20 at the VK Play venue in Moscow – the largest esports arena in Russia. Everyone is welcome to participate – either as a full team or solo – the organizers will help find teammates. Registration for the tournament will last until August 24 – interested parties only need to leave an application in the TG bot @volt_energy_bot or scan the QR code on the packaging of the limited edition VOLT Grape-Guava energy drink (this is where 'Pyaterochka' comes in, as this energy drink is sold in their stores).

The qualification matches will start on August 28 and will last until September 5 inclusive.

“Esports is a key communication platform for VOLT Energy, as it embodies the energy and drive inherent in the brand's philosophy – to charge for action here and now. The main goal of the tournament is to give players a chance to make a name for themselves in front of a wide audience and to open the world of esports for talents. We are pleased to see the growing interest in the Volt Cyber Cup from gaming enthusiasts – we have already received nearly three times more applications for participation than last year. Including the tournament in the unified calendar plan of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation only strengthens our confidence in the correctness of the chosen brand platform and emphasizes the growing popularity of esports in Russia,” noted Maxim Popov, Director of Brand Marketing and Marketing Communications at AB InBev Efes.

The grand final of the Volt Cyber Cup will feature 64 prize spots, and the commentator will be former captain of the Virtus Pro team, streamer, and esports analyst Just NS, who will host a live broadcast of the event on his Twitch channel.

This large-scale esports tournament will be a logical continuation of the cooperation between VOLT Energy and 'Pyaterochka' within the gaming platform – last year, an amateur Dota 2 tournament took place at the Summer Stage venue in Moscow and gathered more than 250 participants.
