To avoid possible game schedule conflicts with Perfect World’s Christmas special event, Dota 2 Radiant & Dire Cup, MDL postponed the Chinese qualifiers until the beginning of January. Eight Chinese teams will be participating with the hope of taking one of the two spots available for the region at the $250,000 LAN main event.
