The Boston Major was a professional Dota 2 eSport tournament that took place in Boston in the United States. The main event was played live at the Wang Theatre from December 7–10, 2016. Like other tournaments in the Dota 2 Major Championship series, the event featured 16 teams from around the world and had a $3,000,000 prize pool, with the victor winning $1,000,000. The event was presented and produced by PGL, who also had the same role at the previous Major in Manila.
Unlike previous Dota 2 Majors, the Boston Major was the first one to have a single elimination bracket. The event was won by OG, their third Dota 2 Major championship victory, who defeated Ad Finem in the best-of-five grand finals 3–1.
All series were played to a best-of-three, with the exception being the best-of-five grand finals.
