Results



However, with there still being four empty slots in the bracket, we are excited to reveal that for the second season of The Defense, joinDOTA will host an open qualifier, where 512 teams can fight to take their place amongst the elite.

Anyone can compete, but only the four best teams can take a slot. If you and your mates think you have what it takes, hurry over to joinDOTA, take a deep breath, and sign yourselves up!

Qualifier Schedule
Sign-ups for 512 teams starts June 6th

Sign-ups close June 10th, 2012, 23:59 CEST

Qualifier starts 11th, 18:00 CEST
Pool system until top 32
32 teams double elemination grid
Top 2 upper bracket teams qualify
Top 2 lower bracket teams qualify

Qualifier ends June 13th, 2012

The 512 qualifier slots are first come first serve, so be sure to sign up as early as possible. They might be gone more quickly than you anticipated.

As for the qualifier format, all teams will be placed in pool play, with the top 32 entering a playoff bracket, and the top two teams from the upper and lower brackets receiving a slot in the main tournament, which is scheduled to be running form the 21st of June until 12th of August, shortly before The International kicks off.

Everybody is allowed to enter the qualification. I don't think any Chinese teams are going to enter because all matches are going to be played on USE so no chinese wants to enter I think.

Also I think jD want the whole tournament to happen on US East/Europe server, so they properly didn't want to invite any. And how chinese teams treated them last Defense I think it's just fine they didn't invite them. No idea in having chinese vs EU teams battle it out online.
Yeah

I doubt people from Asia want to play with such lag, granted AL is playing but AL has been doing it for a long while now, anyway it looks cool although I do wonder where Keita Gaming is at?

Keita in group 4, probably the group hardest to call.

I really fancy POTM Bottom's changes in that group right now. They've beaten CLG before and are good enough to take out Quantic, Keita and TTB

Going to be quite interessting to see how this unfolds since some of this teams are up and coming and others that looked solid some months ago like darer and CLG now looks less solid after some line up changes
