Similar to the SCS and FCS, the DCS tournaments have been divided into three categories – High, Mid, and Low – according to buy-ins which start at ₹110 and go up to ₹33,000.
While there are several thrilling tournaments to look forward to, the three Main Events in the High, Mid, and Low categories stand out.
