According to the NA website Brian 'BananaSlamJamma' Canavan mentioned on stream that Champions of Summer's Rift* has made a roster change which led to them being disqualified from the TI North American qualifier. Luckily for them this year TI has also an open qualifiers in each region. Summer's Rift were allowed to compete in them as long as no players are part of rosters invited to the main qualifiers.
It appears that ^^DragonFist^^ has replaced James 'miraclechipmunk' Poguireitchik. With that Braxton 'Brax' Paulson will be moving to the offlane and the new addtion to the squad will be playing the mid lane. Is the risk of going through the open qualifiers worth this gamble?
We can find out today! The new roster of Summer's Rift will take on Mousesports* '14-15 today to fight for the first American spot at joinDOTA MLG Pro League Season 2 LAN finals! Both teams are considered by many the 2nd and 3rd best team in North America, just behind Evil Geniuses who are invited to the event directly.

This will be a great chance to see how the new lineup is shaping up. A LAN finals spot is on the line and a tough opponent will definitely push Rift to the limit. All the action will be broadcast on our joinDOTA MLG channel! The match starts today at 21:00 CEST and will be played in BO3 format.
Two Swedish teams had a chance to qualify from Europe to the joinDOTA MLG Pro League Season 2 LAN finals few days ago. However, only Alliance made it. They took out The Balkan Bears* who have been struggling with their roster recently. Ninjas in Pyjamas* on the other hand, were unable to overcome Virtus.Pro*.
