The qualifiers for the Kyiv Major were more interesting than the average LAN tournament, you can be sure that the first CIS Major will be unforgettable!
All participants decided this week The Kiev Major.
Every truly grandiose tournament begins with the qualifiers, because the tone of the competition is already set at this stage. This happened at the regional qualifier The Kiev Major. From March 6 to March 14, we could witness a beautiful fight in the face of fierce competition on the modern Dota scene.
IN qualifying competitions South Asia, China, Europe, CIS, South and North America the last participants of the first "major" in the post-Soviet space were determined. Thanks to the new distribution of quotas from the organizer of the tournament - the corporation valve- we will have the opportunity to see the strongest teams from the farthest corners of the planet in the capital of Ukraine. Each of them had to go through a difficult path and win the right to represent their region at the main tournament of the season from thousands of teams. It is in this "meat grinder" that new champions are sometimes born.
"I would like to inform you that the CIS has a team worth rooting for, because we have proved that we are the strongest in this region twice already, and we are ready to fight not for the qualifier, but for victory in tournaments," he said. on his page in the social network, the holder of a quota from the CIS as part of the Russian Virtus.pro Vladimir" No[o]ne Minenko. After watching the final match against the Ukrainian Natus vincere with player approval middle line VP is hard to argue with.

A series of 12 qualifying victories speaks for itself. It seems that the unfortunate departure of the Bears in the first round of the DAC qualifiers due to problems with the Internet gave additional motivation to the team, and did not destroy it. And it pleases. After all, Virtus.pro will have to fight for themselves and for "that guy". Unfortunately, Valve has allocated only one slot for our region, and the Ukrainian Danil " Dendi Ishutin, together with Na`Vi, will miss the home Major, stopping one step away from his dream.
In Kyiv, VP will be obliged to prove to the game developer and the entire community that our region deserves more than one team in the world championship.
EUROPE
And here is the Estonian Clement " Puppey" Ivanov can already pack his bags for a trip to Kyiv, where the stellar stage of his esports career as part of Natus Vincere began. Together with his team Secret Clement easily outplayed the Swedish The Alliance in the final of the European qualification and won the only ticket to the "major" from the region.

The founder of the team and its captain "Puppey" made the right decision - to try his hand in Europe, and not in South Asia. Recall that the first and second roles in the top five "Secret" are alternately performed by the Korean Pio " MP"Noah and Malaysian Zheng" midone" Nye. The latter stayed so long at home without major tournaments that he managed to raise the world's highest rebounding rating singles(MMR). The young Dota 2 star has already poured her joy into in social networks and openly challenge the grandees of the scene. In the motivation of other members once the strongest team the world is beyond doubt. Soon we will be able to get an answer to the question: what is the combination of the experience of Europeans and the game mechanics of young players from South Asia capable of.
SOUTH ASIA
One of the main intrigues of the Kiev tournament: is the South Asian region worthy of two quotas for the Major, while Europe and the CIS have only one each? Valve's decision raises questions. Over the past year, the level of Dota 2 in this part of the world
increased significantly, but the best result teams of South Asia at the "grand slam tournaments" remains in the top six of the strongest Korean MVP and Malaysian Fnatic at home The Manila Major.
Questions about why CIS viewers will not be able to cheer for Na`Vi in Kyiv will be answered by the Singaporean faceless And T&C from Malaysia. Of course, both teams are able to achieve high results and justify advances from Valve. But crushing everyone online and winning titles in LAN tournaments are completely different things. At least there will be someone to cheer against if VP gets let down again. After all, if the CIS is given a second quota, then it will be taken away from South Asia.
CHINA
Keeping track of Chinese qualifiers is problematic not only because of the difference in time zones. Valve issued teams from China three out of eight direct invitations to The Kiev Major, which means that all competitive teams from this region did not take part in the qualifiers. Two teams of the organization will be able to challenge this statement Invictus Gaming: IG and IG.Vitality. It was they who won both quotas of China.
Allocating this region five slots for the "major" Valve pursues commercial interests. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain such a representation Chinese teams, considering their result at the previous similar championship. On The Boston Major only one team from this country got into the top eight.

SOUTH AMERICA
A team from Brazil will perform at the Valve tournament for the first time. The SG e-sports five outplayed the Peruvian Not Today in the finals of the qualification in South America and confirmed the status of the strongest team in the weakest region. 62 thousand dollars for getting into the LAN-finals and the opportunity to play at the "major" in itself is a holiday for this team.
However, an example of a team from another esports discipline, Counter-Strike, comes to mind. a year ago brazilian Luminosity came to her first LAN-tournament in snow-covered Kyiv. First, she fell in love with the crowd, after which she won both major CS:GO tournaments in 2016. Maybe Brazilian esports is not worse than Brazilian football?
NORTH AMERICA
The involvement of legionnaires is clearly bearing fruit in the North American region. Confirmation of this hit new team from USA team Onyx to the Kyiv tournament. The game of this team is built around the 16-year-old Filipino Abed " Abed"Usop who simply doesn't have any decent mid lane competitors in North America.

American Digital Chaos Ukrainian " Resolut1on" has already proved that it is possible to assemble a strong international team. team Onyx may well become another successful commercial project.
The qualification of The Kiev Major only increased the expectations from the tournament. It will be attended by 16 in their own way strong teams from around the world. Each region has its own unique style and vision for the game. Who will be the strongest of all? We will receive the answer at the end of April on the stage of the National Palace of Arts "Ukraine". At the first "major" in the CIS, the world of Dota 2 will definitely expand its boundaries.
The Kiev Major 2017 will be the fifth Dota 2 tournament supported by Valve and last championship before The International 2017.
