A few preliminary tournaments are yet to be held; wether the winner of the Ukrainian bracket manages to make the preperations required to attend the event, shall be doubted at this point however.
Everybody who will go on the journey gets the chance to compete for staggering amounts of money. $33,000 being paid for Dota 2 as well as $18,000 for DotA will surely make organizations think twice wether to send their squad or not. Orange Esports already confirmed their participation via facebook.
