Virtus.pro has recently withdrawn from the upcoming MDL Major citing fatigue as one of the primary reason. Replacing the team is none other than the DAC 2018 champions Mineski.

Being already confirmed for this year’s The International 2018, VP didn’t have much to lose. However, a quick replacement for the team was necessary and organizers, Mars Media, have invited Mineski to take up the spot.

Mineski is currently one of the most talked about Dota 2 teams in the world as they recently won DAC 2018 defeating the top teams in the world without much effort.

The MDL Changsha Major is set to commence from May 14 through 20, with a Million Dollar prize money. A total of 1500 DPC points are up for grabs. The teams confirmed for attendance at the MDL Changsha Major are as follows:

• Team Secret (Invited)

• Newbee (Invited)

• Vici Gaming (Invited)

• Mineski (Invited)

• VGJ.Storm (North America qualifier)

• Infamous (South America qualifier)

• OG (Europe qualifier)

• Vega Squadron (CIS qualifier)

The tournament is important for teams that still have a chance to make it to the Top 8 of the DPC rankings. With Mineski recently winning DAC 2018 and claiming 750 DPC, they have made it into the top 4. Teams like Na`Vi and EG are already out of the list. The current ranking is as follows:
