StarLadder Invitational Season 4 LAN Finals will unfold in China, February 1-4, with a $300,000 prize pool and 300 qualifying points counting for the TI8 direct invites up for grabs. Team Liquid are the reigning Champions of the previous two season of SL i-League Invitational and will be interesting to see if the organizers will extend one of the two direct invites to them.
