TCM and Rat to fight it out for EMS

In light of VP's withdrawl from this week's EMS One Spring LAN finals, the tournament organizers have decided to host a qualifier between the two remaining group thirds. On top of that, the hosts for the event have been announced as well.

Barely a week before the EMS One Spring LAN finals in Katowice were about to kick off, Russian powerhouse Virtus.pro had to forfeit their participation for the tournament.

Instead, the organizers were opting to choose Empire as their replacement, seeing as Empire placed third in VP's group. Empire however just announced dropping two players, will therefore not be able to attend as well.

Kaipi, TCM Gaming and Rat in the Dark are the next teams in line, having placed third in their respective groups as well. Kaipi however will not attend as offlaner bone7 has also lost his passport - much like VP's Airman.

@themaelk bone7 lost his ID w/e thingy in romania so nope :(.

On a different note, according to joinDota, eSports personality Soe Gschwind-Penski will be the hostess of the show, with YouTube personality Pyrion Flax making an appearance as well.
