What do you think of the invites, qualifiers and format guys? I personally really like everything tbh, though I'm a bit baffled on how Newbee got an invite so quickly.

EDIT: It's going to be casted in English by 2 separate hubs apparently, with the NA hub revolving around BTS and dotacinema and the EU hub having GD studios, joindota and a few pro guests that they didn't specify.

I agree with the invites, they didnt really bother with regions and just invited the best teams. So i think they are right inviting 4 chinese teams.

Hmm didnt think liqiud wouldnt be invited. Well i havent seen them play last month so who knows.

Na'vi all the way :D

Though fnatic empire dk ig and eg are all good competition. Its gonna be epic this time.

After that debate with FLUFFNSTUFF they lost a lot. They were already performing badly before he left, but now they are definitely less strong than the teams that received an invite.

Anyways, I think that Virtus.Pro, RoX.KIS and Power Rangers are strong enough to make it to the International. Maybe PR will need some luck, but VP and RoX.KIS definitely have what it takes to win the qualifiers. There is also Team Dog, but I think their roster is too new to have that chamistry the other teams have.

Liquid are in no position to receive an invite unless if they performed extraordinarily this year (they didn't) due to the way-too-large gap between their TI3 and present rosters.

But team dog is really good! D:

I wouldn't say VP is in shape to win EU qualifiers or even take the runnerup position, on the contrary they are (sadly) performing extremely badly lately.

I remember they were actually good. But it was like, two months ago? D:

Probably this will happen at the TI4

DK will win it all, they have a very synchronized talented roster. In Burning we trust

Looking at Empire's latest results, I'd say they also got a shot at this, hope to see some plot twists at this year's International, just like last year's Liquid knocking out LGD.cn
