The CIS qualifier is first on the schedule and runs for two days - Feb 8-9 starting at 14 CET on both days. The participating teams are ru Team Empire, cis Gambit Esports*, ru Team Spirit and ru SLOJNIY MEMAS.

With big name squads ua Natus Vincere and ru Virtus.pro not competing in the event, Empire stand a very good chance of qualifying to their third Pro Circuit event, the first two being Captains Draft Season 4 and Starladder | i-League Invitational #4. Team Spirit beat Team Empire in a Pro Circuit qualifier somewhat recently, but it was Galaxy Battles 2, which had its Pro Circuit status revoked. That said, Spirit came 3rd at the main event after a solid performance, so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top this week.



DreamLeague are staying with the classics when it comes to format - the qualifier is a double elimination bracket in which every match (including the final) is a best-of-three. The winner gets a spot at the eight-team LAN March 21-25. The second and final direct invite to the LAN was also revealed recently and its none other than Team Liquid.

Time to invite Matumbashorts & co to season 9. Welcome @TeamLiquid!https://t.co/4kzzWS1BLt pic.twitter.com/gTBR2eovAE— DreamHack Dota (@DreamHackDota) February 5, 2018
