With our previous announcement about the newest edition of SK Trophy, the organizers behind this tournament have just released the teams that will participate in it, fighting for the grand prize of $1,000.

Unlike most tournaments right now, SK Trophy has brought in a mix of up-and-coming teams in order to allow them to showcase their talents. Notably

QPAD Red Pandas are showing some really promising results recently, even though they are brand new on the Europe Dota 2 scene, and along with

[color=gold]mousesports[/color] are probably the favourites for the event.

Absolute Legends have however also started to find their form, with recent good showings against the likes of

Team Dignitas,

Team Liquid and

Na`Vi.

The one North American team taking part,

[color=gold]Fnatic NA[/color], has also shown glimmers of hope in the midst of their rebuilding process, and if they do finalize a roster in time, they may be a bit of an dark horse team going into this competition.
