Starting next week, we get to see the new Virtus. Pro roster at work as they have accepted DreamLeague’s last minute invitation. Imperial and NP joined the league as well, after EG, Team Secret and OG pulled out of the competition.
DreamLeague Season 6 lost three participating teams due to time travel conflict with the recently announced Boston Major. The announcement came on Friday, October 6, when the defending Champions OG, along with Evil Geniuses and Team Secret, made their decision public. With the League stage kicking off on October 11th, the organizers have announced the new teams joining the event and the talent list for this sixth season.
After they missed the TI6 train, Virtus.Pro underwent major changes ranging from the managerial team to the roster itself. Starting from scratch, with Ilya 'Lil' Ilyuk as their only former member, VP rebuilt their roster and made their first appearance at the fourth edition of BTS Series Europe, which they won with ease. However, DreamLeague Season 6 will be their first big test and a training ground for the upcoming Major regional qualifiers.
DreamLeague Season 6 participating teams:
Alliance
Natus Vincere
Team Liquid
Escape Gaming
Vega Squadron
Virtus.Pro
NP
Imperial
The tournament will start on October 11 with the league play, from which the top four teams will advance into the LAN finals scheduled for the 25th and 26th November at DreamHack Winter in Jönköping, Sweden.
Forming the broadcast team are DreamLeague’s familiar faces: Jorien 'Sheever' Van der Heijden, Owen 'ODPixel' Davies and Jake 'SirActionSlacks' Kanner. Unfortunately, due to family issues, Andy 'Draskyl' Stiles will miss this DreamLeague season. David 'GoDz' Parker will travel to Sweden instead.
