The ESWC Organizing Committee has just announced the greatly awaited list with all of the invited team names, which lacked a preliminary phase in their countries.
The battle for a spot in France was one of the most challenging in the DotA scenery, this year. The invited teams have all earned their spots through past achievements, maybe most of all AEONSPORTS (ESWC 2008 champion).
After almost three weeks of full anxiety, the list is finally available at the ESWC official website, and is brought to you by gosugamers.net.
Here's the list of invited teams:
Blight Gaming DotA
Nirvana.International
MCiTY DotA
Meet Your Makers
Local Area Network
Online Kingdom
Tribal Gaming International
The Elder Gods
CNB-Gaming
Alongside these teams, one only has to wait for the end of the preliminary phases, so the final list can be made. Except for France, China and Russia, whose champions - Tribal.Fr, eHOME and DTS - have already conquered first place, the other 3 preliminary phases are still in progress, them being Iran, Malaysia and Poland.
The teams also have to confirm their presence and present their travel justification before they can compete. The ESWC organization will also provide complimentary accommodation to all the participants.
Gosugamers.net wishes all the teams a great trip. Stay tuned for more updates regarding the other countries to be qualified.
