The seventh team that has confirmed its participation is the Korean powerhouse and EG's partners of team SlayerS. The Korean team, renowned with his terran line-up and housing prominent players such as MMA, Ganzi, Puzzle, Boxer, Ryung and Min, is the first Korean contender ever to appear in the EG Master's Cup series. In the course of four days, from February 6 to February 9, the EG MCSL crew will try to hold to their promise of "more Koreans than ever thought possible to fit in one league" as they fill the remaining four invitational spots.

A different approach is taken for choosing the twelfth team. EG MCSL are putting twelve rosters - aTn, Millenium, Vile, FXO, Light, CheckSix, Reign, vVv, Acer, imba.FXO, Dream Team Gaming and aAa - out to fight for the community vote. Fans will have till 03:00 CET on February 9 to vote for their favorite team and hope they'll see it make it to the final twelve.

The commentary is entrusted to djWheat who will be paired by still unannounced guest caster. Furthermore, MCSL will summon InControl, Idra and DeMuslim to provide the valuable pro-gamer's insight to the matches.

There are still no dates announced about when the tournament is to begin so stay tuned - more details and teams should be revealed soon.
