SLTV StarSeries China to begin tomorrow

The StarLadder StarSeries Chinese division is set to go live tomorrow with eight teams fighting against one another, in an attempt to book their berth for the LAN finals to be held in Kiev, Ukraine.

Ten teams were invited to participate in the competition, out of which six teams were seeded directly into the divisio whilst the remaining teams were placed into the qualifier stage. Two out of the four teams overcame the odds and progressed into the main division, namely, CIS and Dream Time.

If one's memory serves right, the two teams mentioned above have made waves in the Dota 2 circuit by eliminating renowned teams such as LGD, NewBee and Invictus Gaming in the third season of Sina Cup, with their well executed and power packed performances. The complete list of the competing teams:

TongFu.Wanzhou

Vici Gaming

LGD.cn

Invictus Gaming

Team DK

NewBee

CIS

Dream Time

The games are scheduled to begin tomorrow at 10:00 CET with DT.NGC going up against Invictus Gaming in the first match. The division will adapt a similar format to that of it's European counter-part. Eight teams will play against one another in a best-of-one round robin structure, and top two teams at the end of the coming week will advance to StarSeries IX.
