Some changes have been made to the list of the participants of the American qualifiers for The International. Revenge and Osiris Gaming have been replaced by Isurus and Shadows of the Past. The qualifiers are scheduled for May 12-15.
The initial list of the teams that participate in the American qualifiers of The International has been altered. The Peruvian squad Revenge and Osiris Gaming from the United States have been replaced. The two newcomers in the list are the Argentinians Isurus Gaming and the Canadians Shadows of the Past. The teams will compete in their regional qualifiers that are scheduled to take place from May 12th through May 15th.
No official announcement has been made about the reason of the changes. However, information from social media suggests that Osiris Gaming has disbanded, while Revenge refused to participate in the tournament after being declined a roster change. It should be noted that Valve shows minimal toleration towards roster changes after the official announcement of The International participants. In 2013, LGD.cn had to go through the Asian qualifiers despite an initial invitation to the main event, because they replaced Xiang 'LongDD' Huang with Bin 'DD' Xie.
