Pinnacle has continued to expand its presence in the esports industry after announcing a new Dota 2 tournament.
The Pinnacle Cup will run from 5 May until 30 May and boasts a total prize pool of $100,000 (£71,926) and a top prize of $50,000.
The tournament marks the second edition of the Pinnacle Cup, following the inaugural competition in March on the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) platform.
The Pinnacle Cup is run in partnership with data partner Grid and broadcast partner Relog Media.
Through its partnership with Grid, Pinnacle will offer a range of pre-match and live betting markets, while also showcasing betting data and odds through Twitch.

“We are ambitious and excited for what this tournament will bring and look forward to continuously setting the standard for these types of event,” she added.
