Valve has changed a lot for the 2019-2020 DPC, including how the qualifiers work. To help teams recover in between tournaments, the dual qualifiers for Majors and Minors have been shortened and combined into one. 

The MDL Chengdu/DOTA Summit 11 qualifiers will consist of three different phases.

Phase one

Teams are separated into two groups of five, playing best-of-two matches to determine seeding. The top two teams from each group will move on phase two, while the third-place team will move on to phase three. If the region has three major invites, the two fourth-place teams will play a best-of-three to decide an additional team heading into phase three. 

Phase two

Four teams duke it out in a double-elimination bracket for qualification to the Major. The top two or three teams, depending on region, qualify, while the losers head to phase three.

Phase three

Four teams battle in a double-elimination bracket for qualification to the Minor. Top one or two qualify for the Minor, while the eliminated teams gain 20 DPC points.
