The SEA Kappa Invitational is an online tournament announced a few days ago and is a tournament that will mainly focus on the SEA region. The tournament features country specific open qualifiers for countries with a significant Dota2 following in the SEA region, a "rest of SEA" qualifier - for SEA countries without a significant Dota2 following - and a "Non SEA qualifier", a qualifier targeted at India, Pakistan, Japan, Korea and the Oceania region.
The first open qualifiers (total of eight regions) will be taking place during the 20th and 21st of February. The winners of the qualifiers will move into the main bracket where they will join the eight directly invited teams; the 16 teams will then battle for the $10,000 prize pool.
