Team Liquid received the second and final direct invite for DreamLeague Season 9 scheduled for March.
It is no surprise that the runner up team of DreamLeague Season 8, TI7 champions and one of the hottest teams in the Dota Pro Circuit 2017-2018 season would be given a direct invite to the upcoming minor next month. Team Liquid just claimed the title and trophy at StarLadder iLeague Invitational S4 after destroying LGD Gaming 3:1 in the grand finals only days ago. The team also put up a tremendous fight against Newbee at ESL One Genting 2018 for a second place finish last week.
Defending champions, Team Secret, were the first of only two teams that was granted a direct invite into the main event taking place March 21st - 25th at the Monster Energy DreamHack Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
DreamLeague Season 9 is set to kick off with its Regional Qualifiers and will run through February. Only three teams per region were invited to participate in the regional events alongside one open qualifier team. In the end, only one squad from each of the six designated regions will advance to the main event.
The prize pool for the tournament will be a total of $300,000 alongside the 300 Dota 2 Pro Circuit Points on the line.
1st – $125,000 + 150 DPC
2nd – $70,000 + 90 DPC
3rd/4th – $30,000 + 30 DPC
5/6th – $15,000
