The yearly Dota 2 spectacle in the Netherlands!

Once a year, a group of Dota 2 fans come together to play their favorite game.

We are a group of friends who organize a Dota2 LAN every year in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Here we come together with different people from all of Europe to have a fun weekend of Dota2. During the LAN, we organize events such as tournaments, a pubquiz and we often even have special guests!

This year, the DireLAN will take place from 10 to 12 October! Registrations will open soon. Follow us on Instagram if you want to stay up to date with the latest information.

Tournament

During the LAN, we organize a grand Mix Tournament. In this tournament, all participants will be randomly placed into balanced teams. These teams will compete with each other for prizes, and also the highest honour of the LAN: to be declared DireLAN champions!

Pubquiz

There is nothing better than a fun pubquiz about something you know everything about. On the first evening of the LAN, we’re hosting a Dota 2 pubquiz to test your knowledge. The quiz is filled with questions about heroes, items, stats, and sometimes, even about the players themselves..

The pubquiz is also a great way to get to meet your fellow Dota2-players IRL!

Special guests

We often invite well-known and fun Dota 2 guests to come say hi at our LAN. Usually they are willing for a small meet-and-greet and Q&A session, and sometimes even a masterclass.

Some of the guests we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming include: Sheever, BSJ, Tsunami, Kips, and ODPixel.

Check out the Q&A with Sheever here.

Location

DireLAN is held in the heart of Eindhoven, at Dynamo. Thanks to Dynamo Esports, we have the opportunity to rent the esports center, along with additional rooms for accommodation. Since the Dynamo building also has concert halls, we have a fantastic venue for our Pub Quiz!

The building is about a 10-minute walk from Eindhoven's central station and has a (paid) parking garage right at the door.
