Star Ladder Season Two nears its end

posted by Roegnvaldr, 350 days ago

Amidst the sea of battles and tournaments, one must now take note of the second season of the Star Ladder Star Series. With 16 teams competing for a prize of $6000 as the main prize on the line, we shall take a moment to go through what has already happened and look at what will happen next.

Even though most of the matches have already been played, there is still much more in store for teams and spectators. Just like the first time around, the secon season of the Star Series will conclude with a LAN finals at the Kiev Cyber Sport Arena, but this time, it will be the top 6 teams who go there to compete, rather than the top 4.

Current Standings

1.

Natus Vincere
2.

Evil Geniuses
3.

Keita Gaming
4.

mousesports
7.

Moscow Five
7.

Darer
7.

mTw

However, as any attentive reader may have noticed, there are 7 teams currently qualified for a 6-team LAN-tournament. Moscow Five, Darer and mTw have all scored the same results during the league campaign. To decide which two of them will advance, and to decide who will be left behind, an additional playoff tournament between the three teams will take place tomorrow, July 4th, with the matches being played at the following times:

Moscow Five vs

Darer 16:00 CET

Darer vs

mTw 18:00 CET

mTw vs

Moscow Five 20:00 CET

An English broadcast of the first and second matches will be available right here on joinDOTA, brought to you by our very own

Was it announced before the season started that the top 6 teams will go to Kiev?
I like the change, but doing it while the season is running is pretty unprofessional imo =/

kieta deserve a spot the played well enough to qualify. How is that a joke. Not like it was invites and only these 3 have to play to qualify. They even won more games the mousesports it is definitely well deserved.
