Since eliminating the direct invite system for this season, some teams have to kill each other in the number of minor and major tournament titles they follow. Just like the conventional sport of the long season they have to go through to gain points in order to become one of the team participants TI8.
After being unfairly Valve finally changed the system they have run for the last seven years ie direct invite system to compete in The International. The system was changed by Valve because of the many parties who felt this was unfair to the team that wanted to compete. Here are eight teams of participants of TI8!
In addition, this system also aims to improve the sustainability of "life" of the community of lovers Dota 2. Therefore Valve held a DPC system or Dota Pro Circuit point like a soccer league. But this system has gotten a bit of adjustment and we will not discuss this article.
Any team that follows an official event from Valve either major or minor will earn points to rank them on a standing table. The eight selected teams are the eight teams that are able to collect the most points.
Virtus Pro was the first TI8 team to get the slot after playing perfectly from the start of the season. Pocketing many points from a lot of victories in every tournament that they follow, they become the champion candidate this year.
The distance or the difference they made with the seven teams below is quite far away, the difference of more than 3000 points they book to secure the first position, the second position is occupied by China powerhouse PSG.LGD and followed by the defending champion in third position is Team Liquid.
With the achievement of that many points and consistent appearance is indeed Virtus Pro seeded out as the champion this year. But if we look at the track record of the champion of The International itself who always get a change of champions from different regions every year, this time it is the team's turn from the Asian region who will be the champion.
by becoming champion, we'll see later because we still have to wait for other teams who struggle from below through the regional open qualifer round. Who are the other eight teams of TI8 participants who will accompany the eight already qualified teams?
