MDL Changsha Major: qualifiers

Major qualifiers

The series of trials for NAVI.GG.BET Dota 2 roster continues: very soon our players will have to show their strength in the regional qualifications for MDL Changsha Major and compete with other teams for a single ticket to the LAN final in China!

We did not have to go through the open qualifiers, getting straight into the closed regionals, where eight teams contest the quota allocated to the CIS division. Along with Natus Vincere, Gambit Esports, Effect, Team Empire, Team Spirit, Vega Squadron and two open qualifier teams will join the fight - their names will be announced later.

MDL Changsha Major qualifications will be held from 21 to 25 of March. Teams would have to go through two stages: the group stage and the playoffs. Participants will be divided into two groups, in which they will play a double elimination grid with the best of 3 matches. The first losers' round is going to be the only one with Bo1 format.

The group leaders will go straight to the semifinals of the next stage, while the teams that are in second places will receive slots in the quarterfinals. The rest will begin the games through the playoff grid from the first round. So, none of the teams will leave the qualification after the group stage. All the series will also be played in the Bo3 format, grand finals being Bo5.

Detailed information about the schedule of matches and seeding will be announced in the near future. We hope that NAVI will prove worthy and will win the treasured ticket to MDL Changsha Major! #gonavi
