I just browse now the ESL One Malaysia details and surprised that Alliance is still invited despite there poor performance on there previous game. I thought they are still relegated to Div2. I am rooting for Team Liquid on this tournament to give justice for there poor performance last Major. They are so good on tournament like this without PSG.LGD and TS.
It's okay, whoever team is directly invited by ESL to join them.
There's no DPC points on this tournament anymore and that's okay. It's a choice of theirs of whom they're going to invite, while the other teams are really good and went their way through qualifiers.
It's hard to have a pick on who's going to be the champ on this tournament but I think, those teams that are already qualified on TI would like to use some experiments on this tournament for them to have like a practice game preparing for the bigger event.
