D2CL administration regrets to inform that the games in CN-division are cancelled.



After lengthy four-party negotiations, organizations, representing Chinese athletes (PW and ACE), refused to give Chinese teams the permission to participate in D2CL Season 4. The reason for that is the following: the dates of LAN-finals in Bucharest clash with a major tournament in China, NEST, which is co-organized by Government of China.



In this regard, D2CL administration has decided to give the Chinese LAN-finals slot to the EU-division. Top-1 team of the division will go straight to LAN-finals, while the ones in 2-5th places will fight for the last 2 slots in the play-offs. League rules will be modified accordingly.

Statement from the D2CL

The Chinese government's involvement in protecting their domestic scene is not unlike the Korean government's attitude to Starcraft, where a keen eye on protecting their own interests has helped develop the Korean Starcraft scene. However, the loss of the Chinese division will obviously come as a blow for fans of the competition.The official D2CL statement on the matter was the following:This means that there will be three teams from the EU division and one team from the US division making their way to the LAN Finals to be held in Dreamhack Bucharest from October 31st - November 2nd.This article was written byLuma Odat, joinDOTA writer.
