I can see the season ends November 3rd, so I'm guessing either the week after (WCS Global finals that weekend!) or the fortnight after will bring us the granny

TanGeng Profile Joined January 2009 Sanya 5606 Posts #9 The dates and teams are not final (although 7 of the 8 are solid organisations)



The TBAs are amateur teams and WPC organiser will provide coaching and training for them. They'll get at least 3 weeks in Shanghai before the league starts...



There's other considerations as well... so more details to come... Moderator 我们是个踏实的赞助商模式俱乐部

DK doesn't have anybody, RS supposedly doesn't have Kabu and/or LanM. LGD doesn't have sylar.



How are we gonna watch this ~_~

from some guy on reddit According to the website, some real estate developer is investing 70 millions RMB/roughly 10 million USD to build the a "esport stadium" which includes "esport arena", "training facility", "esport themed bar" and more. The total investment planned for the next 5 years is staggering 200 million RMB/ 30+ million USD.



Another interesting bit is their qualification process (for 2 spots in the league):

an open qualifier with bo1 to pick 10 teams

pit those 10 teams against each other in bo2 (presumably TI group stage style) to get top 4.

out of those top 4, pick the best 10 players to form 2 new teams

have a coach train them for 20 days

league starts, give those 2 new teams pro team treatment and have them play the established teams.



EDIT: in fact the qualification has already been completed, wonder where I can find information on those 2 new teams. Moderator Retired LR Bonjwa

Is that exactly referring to DotA 2?



The style of that post makes it sound like it's a big operation for multiple games. Hell, maybe it's strictly league of legends cuz of Tecent money.

If you know Chinese, you can read here:

Based on their training schedule of the amateurs, the earliest ready date will be September 11th. If it is as long as a month as expected, it'll be in the 2nd half of September. So all competition dates have to be pushed back at least as much to accommodate.



In addition, WPC needs to replace ForLove in the schedule with another team, while the other teams have to finalise their roster and get everyone back from vacation and training. The WPC will start as soon as possible based on those limitations. Ok! The list of the 10 amateurs is available now. They'll make up the two unnamed teams in the schedule. This is starting to get more real.If you know Chinese, you can read here:Based on their training schedule of the amateurs, the earliest ready date will be September 11th.
