The StarLadder Minor Season 3 kicks off in Ukraine and GosuGamers has all the information for the event. 

The third wave of DPC 2019-2020 season events is now upon us. The season is now at the halfway mark and teams are aggressively vying for as many points as they can possibly acquire with the most coveted prize being a trip to the ESL One Los Angeles Major for the winner. 

Alliance is the favored team for the event while fans will be eagerly watching the new lineup for CR4ZY perform after only one week together. Gambit and Team Aster are definitely hot contenders with business associates and ForZe possibly challenging even the best. Boom Esports and NoPing e-sports are the dark horses of the event but impressive runs in the qualifiers mean they can't be written off just yet. 

Here is all the information needed to find the matches and get up to speed on what to expect. 

The action kicks off at 09:00 CET with the open group stage matches.

*Since the minor winner also gets to participate in the major, they will only get points for the event in which they placed better (e.g: If they place last in the major, they will only get 140 points for winning the minor. If they place 8th instead, they'd get the 450 points for the major but not the 140 points from the minor)

StarLadder Minor Season 3

Between March  5-8th, eight teams determined via qualifiers will battle it out in Kyiv, Ukraine for the lion's share of the $300,000 prize pool and 660 DPC points as well as the highly coveted spot at the ESL One Los Angeles Major taking place in Los Angeles, California March 15-22nd.
