EG is the final of the five teams that received direct invites to the event along with other top talents like Virtus Pro, LGD Gaming, Team Liquid, and Vici Gaming.

The recent winners of The Bucharest Minor, EHOME will also be in attendance after qualifying by winning the Dota 2 Professional League Season 6. And rounding out the roster is both Royal Never Give Up and Invictus Gaming who made it in through the China Qualifier.

MDL Macau will also be taking place right up against ESL One Katowice 2019—another non-DPC Major. Both events will be looking to bring high-level Dota play outside of the Pro Circuit’s viewership.

These eight teams will be competing for their share of $300,000 and potentially a spot in whatever event MDL has planned next.

Recently completed our first case of the year. Proud of what we accomplished at the Honor of Kings World Championship that we hosted for Tencent last weekend.

On to the next events… plenty of them coming soon including our own MDL Macau. pic.twitter.com/crH8fVQFNA
