Orange to sit out GEST July, August

The upcoming GIGABYTE E-Sports Tournament playday on July 21-22 will make way without the Malaysian side Orange eSports. Group B's empty spot will be filled with a team from a qualifier.

Chan "WinteR" Litt-Binn and his players Orange have decided to sit out the two coming GIGABYTE E-Sport Tournament cups to instead prepare for Valve's Dota 2 flagship tournament The International.

The July edition also sees the return of Indonesian team eNcy who successfully qualified for the group stage by winning the Indonesian qualifier. They will be going up against Invasion ReD, iDeal, Pacific.Palit and the winner of the GEST Laos qualifier.

Worth to note is that last month's champion, Pacific.BadBurn will now be playing under Pacific.Emaxx after a sponsorship pickup by the Filipino motherboard manufacturer Emaxx.
