The April edition of the Gigabyte E-Sport Tournament International DotA Cup commences this weekend with national qualifiers. This month's GEST IDC has been structured slightly differently, and this weekend's national qualifiers marks the start of a long qualifying journey for hopeful teams.
This weekend will see national qualifiers for each of the six participating nations of this month's GEST IDC. The top two from each country will then go into another round of qualifying which will be played the following weekend, and finally the top 4 teams will proceed to play GEST IDC.
David "GoDz" Parker will stream matches starting next weekend, when the top 2 teams from each nation will play for top four positions and a spot in April's GEST.
A reminder of the already invited teams:
