As the dust settles on The International, and thoughts turn towards the next cycle of the competitive Dota 2 season, it's time for teams and players to select their battle companions for the next Dota 2 Major. With that in mind, we've updated the Dota 2 Major Registration process to adjust several aspects of the roster lock system.

We'll introduce a few of the main points below, but be sure to check out the full Dota 2 Majors Registration FAQ for more information.

This year, players are not automatically dropped from teams as they were in the past. This means existing teams will remain intact until managers or players actively make changes.

The first phase of roster locks—the drop period—will allow a team admin to drop a player, or allow a player to leave a team, and will be open until September 4, 2016. After this first phase is complete, any players that remain on a team's roster are bound to that team. Because players are not automatically dropped from rosters, teams and players who do not wish to continue with their current rosters will need to actively change roster status before the drop period concludes.

The second phase of roster locks—the invitation period—allows teams to issue Primary Member invites to players they wish to add to their rosters, and will remain open from September 4 - 18, 2016. Team admins can issue invites to any players not locked to another team's roster, including new players or players that were previously dropped from the team. One thing to note is that teams will no longer need to issue Substitute Player invites during the invitation period. Any team that qualifies for a Major event will be able to issue a Substitute Player invite to any player not participating in the Major once the qualifiers for that event are done.

We've included an "Updated" tag on revised sections of the Dota 2 Majors Registration FAQ, so head over there to see the full list of revisions.
