In a month with no huge Dota Pro Circuit event, ESL One Katowice is providing fans a championship with a number of the very best teams from all over the globe competing for their share of $300,000.
Twelve teams qualified or were invited into the first of three scheduled ESL One Dota events declared for 2019. Of these 12 teams, just four will create it from the group stage and in the playoffs.
The 12 opponents were split into two teams of six which will duke it out over the span of 3 days together with the two leading teams from each group moving on.
Group A is definitely the more aggressive of both. It houses not only the number one rated team from the DPC, Team Secret, but they also possess Gambit Esports and an OG group which, as of late, seems like they are back to the amount of drama they had if they won The International 2018.
Insert on the constantly sound Forward Gambling, the new-look roster which Mineski has, and also the unidentified commodity of For Your Fight, it sure seems like this is going to be a brawl to come out on the top of the area.
Group B may not seem as aggressive from the beginning, but the combined nature of the groups sitting inside their pool could cause some surprising upsets.
Fnatic, Ninjas in Pyjamas, along with compLexity Gambling are probably the 3 groups individuals will snore with the greatest likelihood of making a top two place in that category. The exterior trio of Alliance,'' Chaos Esports Club, along with the influx roster that Team Aster will attract will not allow it to be simple.
With opening games like Secret against OG and NiP playing with Alliance, the activity is going to be heated directly from the beginning. You may find more info concerning the event and buy tickets on ESL's site.
