The International's site just added 4 more teams. Given that they have been announcing them 1-2 at a time I wonder if someone just messed up, because there doesn't seem to be much about it aside from the images just appearing on the site.
Not big surprises, nice for Loda and the EG guys - the people at Valve I talked to seemed on the fence about both of them last time I bought it up. Curious how the wild card stuff will work, I'm excited for them to announce how they are going to run qualifiers.

Yeah, they've been doing great in the Gigabyte Dota 2 Masters, 4-1 in their group, the only game they lost was against Orange. |

| 4 chinese and darer with their line up constantly changing? Wow valve is playing outside of the rule atm... mTw, mouz, M5, VP are all outside of the box atm not counting MUFC from the east......... the last 2 slots will be very clutch imo |

| Kind of sad about Darer/EG. Guess that means no Quantic and no mTw,mouz,M5,infused etc. 4 from China just show that marketing is Valves most important thing. Last edit: 2012-05-26 02:33:53 |

Yeah, there are still a few teams that should be in contention D: There's still Mouz, M5, Infused, Quantic, mTw, and Wolves.
But there's going to be a little tournament for the Wild card slots, so they'll still have a good chance to get in.Last edit: 2012-05-26 02:33:46 |

| I wouldn't be surprised if Quantic gets in but it seems like 3 American teams is a bit much. Last edit: 2012-05-26 11:48:57 |

They're generally considered one of the best Chinese teams still, outside of DK |

Oh man I really hope mouz and mtw get the last two safe spots, they are really raping lately.
edit: Also LGD meh, would rather see another EU/NA team instead of them, there's still the Asian qualifier if they are rly strong enough to qualify. But I guess Valve wants the big viewer numbers from China + China transitioning faster.Last edit: 2012-05-26 02:38:27 |

Yeah but Quantic sorta deserves it lol, 3 American teams is pretty insane, but so is 4 friggin Chinese teams, There are going to be like 7 teams for these last two spots lol, totally screwed.Last edit: 2012-05-26 11:49:06 |

| I don't think mtw deserves one of the last spots. Maybe its just my outdated opinion but Synderen has had too many chances to prove himself since Dreamhack and they've done nothing but flame out of every tournament in the first group stages or in the first two rounds. They are nothing special, and nothing worth inviting. Quantic deserves it more, Wolves, Mouz, and then the SEA teams that, although not deserving, would attract a huge viewer base for Valve in Mineski or Mith-trust. |

| Last two spots are going to be really hard to call! I'd say Quantic deserve one of them though. |

quantic deserves it more than EG and coL in terms of play, but NA isn't going to get 3 teams and quantic was the least stable by far
would love to see Ice or MUFC get an invite |

Quantic should really deserve one spot.
And tbh i feel that Darer has a better chance to do well at TI, than mtw or mouz |

| I'd say Quantic deserved an invite more than EG but at the same time I'm not at all surprised EG was invited. The rest of the EU teams should probably start praying that the Chinese teams have Visa issues now |
