MDL Chengdu Major is all set to begin with sixteen teams fighting for the honors and crown of the first Major title of the DPC 2019-2020 Season.
With four of the big teams from last season taking a break for the first DPC events of the season, the stakes seem higher for the other teams as they scramble to seize the lion's share of the points in order to bulk up and bolster their standings for the DPC 2019-2020 season.
The first Major is expected to bring along intense action and fierce competition. Since a new patch will hit just after the conclusion, fans can expect to see some of the tried and true heroes and strats coming in from the last few months.
