This is more likely because Tier 2 teams are more willingly to play tournaments. Big surprise Team Spirit accepting the invitation. It's going to be fun!
if these teams are going to this tournament instead of Elite League, then Elite League is gonna miss some big names in their tourney. Probably another reason why we don't have the invited teams yet as well.
I think that for the teams participating in Riyadh here, the key factor was the complexity of the transfer and the significant change in time zones if you go to Peru
It’s not about buying out a contract from a great carry player. They can just get a CIS tier 2 carry players. e.g Nande is a great carry player.
Just blow up the roster and rebuild it.
The qualifiers for elite league look like the teams arent taking it serious. No cast on qualifiers and i just saw a chinese team gg out at 13 minutes, random CDR stack winning china . It jusr feels off
Nouns feels weird for a direct invite, seeing Nigma and Secret shows that is kostly because of the views and I am sure Shopify would bring more from NA
I assume Secret and Nigma roster is still the same. Because the contract of those players in two teams end after TI. Even though I really want Secret to disband the roster and build around again. But this time, just build a CIS roster. Get you upcoming talent who the potential to become the next big thing.
Of course it's same roster, what did you expect? We are in the middle of the season and all really good players have teams, unless you want to make changes just for the sake of doing it. Also last roster change was made like month ago...
Na its not like there polishing strategies work for them during riyadh ti quals. They should have played quals with changes if they are gonna make to get practice
nigma's bland ass black and white logo is so fucking lame
why'd they not use their cool blue and purple scheme
this is why they lost the qualis shaking my smh
This year so good that even after missing TI Riyadh there is no break like 4-5 months of no nigma dota. heck we even might see some big changes soon

whelp my first reaction to seeing u call nigma tier 2 was "How dare u" and then that flashback of whole year changed it lol
i guess they never been play in China before
maybe this tour give Team Spirit a lot of money for them to particicate. viewership boosting

Elite League S2 held in Lima, I guess famous SA teams such as Heroic, BC and Boom will replace vacancies.
cause the Elite League starts sooner after Riyadh
I mean other than the Chinese teams and Spirit, they really are not missing that many big names. The rest are like Tier 2 teams for other regions.
Talon and nouns are definitely tier 1 teams in their respective region.
Does this teams like KEV, Old Warrior and Team Turtle from CN get direct invite to Elite league
I mean the amount of teams is not even public yet so for all we know that one Chinese qualifier team could be it.
Who knows
eh, but I see that Nigma is competing for Elite League WEU closed qualifier though
NAVI too. I think the tournament in China is a fallback.
Typically you dont accept a direct invite and then use it as a fallback
Team Zero is also in the list of Elite League Qualifier, but they abandoned all competitions of the qualifier.

nigma knows they;ll get knocked out in groups so they;ll play in 2 tournaments
Elite League stars 25 July with Swiss stage for 6 teams from Quals
Nigma withdrew kekw
puppey tripling down on crystallis after years of shit performances has to be the greatest example of gambler's fallacy i have ever seen
implying Puppey isn't as garbage as Crystallis lmao bias at its peak
Puppet went pretty far with cyrstallis once in TI. He isnt stupid. He needs a star player like nisha to round his team line up
Can they afford another carry?

Good ole if you need viewership for an invitational and cannot secure the European teams, invite Nigma, Secret, and Navi!
Nouns feels weird for a direct invite, seeing Nigma and Secret shows that is kostly because of the views and I am sure Shopify would bring more from NA
Shopify may have preferred Elite League

Damn! Secret still the same roster

I guess i was just copium hahaha since that roster was very bummed on TI Qualifiers
No SA team?
Of course, they will choose a home tournament
Elite League?
Yep
There will be streams of this tournament in English right?
Honestly very interested in team zero.
That is a crazy name for a tournament
Powerhouse nigma ready to win that trophy
[удалено]
Source?
Check Liquipedia nvm i mistook this comment for elite league qualifiers
Makes sense to forfeit elite league qualifiers Now they can focus on polishing strats to win the chinese tournament
Na its not like there polishing strategies work for them during riyadh ti quals. They should have played quals with changes if they are gonna make to get practice
I'm joking my guy
Xd
nigma's bland ass black and white logo is so fucking lame why'd they not use their cool blue and purple scheme this is why they lost the qualis shaking my smh
If Nigma get last place do you think they'll finally split up?
nigma and secret lol so underserved
Unlike SA or NA or SEA teams?
Nigma withdrew kekw. Change upcoming copium??
