Mineski's big improvements have been rewarded with a direct invite to one of the final events of the season. Their win at the Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018 propelled them to 4th on the DPC ranking. Over the next couple of months they'll be looking to secure even more points to ensure that their spot at TI8 is secured. Only Virtus.pro have enough points to be guaranteed an invite so far.
This is the final invite, rounding out a list with two Chinese teams, one EU, one CIS and one NA. Only South America is missing out, but that's no surprise considering no South American team has been invited to any event this year. Mineski are unquestionably the most deserving Southeast Asian invite, even before their DAC win. They started the season strong, racking up enough qualifier wins to earn their first LAN invite by the time ESL One Genting 2018 rolled around.
Now, six more teams will be added to the roster through the qualifiers, which are scheduled to run April 19-22 across all six regions. Invited teams for those qualifiers have not been listed yet.
