As among the leading esports brands in Southeast Asia, the collaborators aim to build a healthy and wholesome ecosystem that unites esports fans and players while nurturing bonds between the two through shared interests. Having produced the English broadcast of the previous 2021/2022 DPC South America Tour 1 and several other regionally well-known qualifiers, Epulze and EBN are well-equipped to provide the support needed for the 2023 Southeast Asia Dota 2 Pro Circuit.
