After the success of their previous Monthly Madness competitions, which saw a multitude of teams compete from across Europe and North America, It's Gosu eSports have announced an Asian edition of their hugely successful tournament series.

Once again, the tournament will feature 16 participants - Asia's finest - who will do battle in a single elimination bracket, with each match being a best-of-three contest. The tournament grid will be revealed on Monday, and the participants are:

Absolute Legends

EHOME

Invictus Gaming

LGD Gaming

Team DK

TongFu

World Elite

Duskbin

Mineski

Invasion Red

MUFC

Orange eSports

AEON

HARROSH

Team Zenith

MiTH Trust

As expected, It's Gosu's resident popular casting combo of

Aaron 'Ayesee’ Chambers and

Andy 'Draskyl' Lee Stiles will be on hand to bring you every match live; in addition, the tournament's matches will also be covered with Russian and Chinese commentary, by

Vladmir 'Maelstorm' Kuzminov and

Wang 'Prince' Yumin respectively.

The action gets underway on Saturday 7th July, with all matches scheduled to be played on weekends only; Saturdays and Sundays from 08:00 EST (14:00 CEST). Matches may be scheduled for Fridays too if needs be.

Considering the caliber of the teams attending $1000 prize pool seems really low.

Considering the lack of tournaments in Asia, $1,000 is better than nothing ^_^

Think Happyfeet (mineski) is better than duskbin if they keep on participating on dota2...

Actually, yes, really. Mb not as a salary, but for playing in ACE and G-Leauge, plus form advert's they get a lot of money..
But I wan't to ask you smth else, since you seem to be looking up this article every 30 min. Are this teams just invited, or have they confirmed they will play in IGM?
it's kind of a suprise, after even tier two teams like FV,Tyloo and DT didn't even concider GEST, witch is three times the prizepool..
Ps. Don't get me wrong - love what you are doing, plus i'm a chinese fanboy for years. Nothing better from watching games from them, but I just hope they'll take it srsly.

LGD vs Zenith is the finals even if it isnt the grand final. Winner wins the tourny. Orange has a chance though as well.
