The ZEN Esports Network Offline Qualifier kicks off tomorrow with four teams in attendance, which will determine the remaining two Oceanic spots for the $100K ZEN Asia-Pacific League.

Originally this offline event was known as the "ZEN Invitational" and was suppose to take place at - The Palms at Crown in Melbourne, Australia during a two-day period with eight teams in attendance.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the event was relocated to the ESL Studios in Sydney and ESL Australia revealed that the two unknown invited teams for day two of the event were unable to participate, even though there was $20,000 AUD on the line for the competitors.
