Days before the ESL One Los Angeles will commence it's main stage. While the last slot for a team will also include in the list will start their main stage tomorrow. The SLi Minor Champion, this is really exciting. My funds are ready to gamble.

Esports is one of the game many people love because it is all about the skills of every pro players and most of them came from different countries and arrive at the main venue to gain the title of being champion in a major even it is not a huge price pool still it is essential to be qualified to the coming The international 2020, some of the teams must need to qualify to top 4 or 5 to make a points and direct invite to the international. For this major, we can face different roster and it is good to make research for the new players also to avoid having a mistake in our predictions. One of the strongest team today that can be the champion again is the Team Nigma from the previous team of Liquid, Team secret the kings of the majors and the international 8 and 9 champion team OG even they are not completed and change their players because in some issues.

Well then, the match was finished and congratulations to EHOME. They've won against Team Aster via 2-0.

Now, only one last slot for this major and shall be filled during the SLI Minor Champion this upcoming early March of 2020.

I didn't know that Cignal vs. Lowkey shared the same with problem Adroit yesterday and I can still remember the rant of a Cignal player last major qualifier.

I am not well versed in their problem but don't they have a backup connection? They are a professional team, they should have at least a backup just in case their main connection has problems.

I guess they don't have because if they do, they will not experience this internet interruption during this important qualifier. As I know, Cignal is sponsored by a known internet provider but it sucks that they were the first team to experience it before.

However, the recent one was with Lowkey Esports.

I wish that this won't happen again especially during the most important games of their lives like this major or even a minor qualifier.

I know this is something that you've heard of but I really love the line up of OG.

I am not saying this because they are the first team that won back to back but because I see something in their line up. Midone offlane, Sumail carry and Saksa support. If you will be thinking of it, two of these players are used to a solo lane. If they can lanes on themselves, they can focus on the kind of game OG is used to, and that is being aggressive. If you see their games for the LA qualifiers, they are still that aggressive team but more aggressive now since they can focus on their lanes.

I think also that Saksa really fits this team but what I am observing is that Topson is getting more aggressive and it is not right. Maybe they are just enjoying the game since it is just the qualifier.

This is a common problem in 3rd countries like Philippines and my country Indonesia. There are many internet providers, even all of them provide high speed connections.
But not with the connection stability especially for gaming, there are not many options.

Update:
Qualified teams as of now, 5 teams already confirmed for going in ESL Los Angeles 2020 Major.
Team Secret and OG are extremely awesome, especially Team Secret for having 0 lost for the Europe Qualifier, rooting for them.

OG started this season very well compared to last season where they had a struggle when Ana wasn't active in the team.

And for Team Secret, they're always consistently good every season. But unfortunately, they always can't keep it up on TI, maybe because of very high pressure.

Majors does have an allocation of $1M most of the time while the minors has an allocation of $300,000 for the prize pool.

While the International which is the main tournament of Dota 2, depends on the sales that Valve dedicates for the prize pool and base on its history, every year is surpassing the last year's prize pool.

damn thats alot of cash out there for just a video game only , this prizes was more or a bit closer to the sports and other real life events .

i thought esports arent popular enough ? becauase look at them , many gambling sites still doesnt support them . they dont support dota 2 betting . are they under estimating these kind of games/betting ? . but its not surprising that the prize is big because the cosmetics that they sell were also expensive .

It's not that a lot compare to majors and the main event of the Dota 2 community which is TI.

Esports is already popular and it's been considered as a career if you are not aware of it. You need to recheck it, many crypto bookies are supporting esports game and Dota 2 is one of the most popular game they ever had.

I didn't know that Cignal vs. Lowkey shared the same with problem Adroit yesterday and I can still remember the rant of a Cignal player last major qualifier.

Despite of losing yesterday, Adroit managed to get the 3rd slot to the majors.
(...)

Their hardwork really paid off!
They even played to some computer shop because of poor/unstable internet connection on their bootcamp which is located in the Philippines.

Congratulations to them for sweeping 2-0 against IO. They really deserve the slot because they have been performing very well ever since the qualifiers has started.

Any thoughts on Virtus Pro vs Cyber Legacy? I think the score will be 2 - 1 for VP.

The match history shows that VP won 2-0 against Cyber Legacy but I think there will be different pressure for both teams in this match because its an elimination match, so VP won't win 2-0 again like last match.

Without doubt about being the best players, all of the best mid players come together in OG. Ceb is the guy that contributed most and Notail's strength is coming from Ceb's motivation as per as I've watched the both truesight.

Their winning streak had been stopped by liquid and it showed that there are still adjustments they need to make. It can be expected since they just had a new roster. In my opinion Sumail is strong, however I think he is to confident sometimes and makes initiation on his own. I would still like to see Ana back as the main of the team.

The closed qualifier now for each region is intense and mostly on the Europe qualifiers. The teams that are aiming to get to the top 3 are most tier 1 teams so I think before looking to the majors, let's look to the qualifiers and the Starladder minor.
(....)

Yep, exactly, high tier teams are mostly on Europe, especially The International champions, and OG + OG.Seed combination, kinda scary teams and Team Secret too, the recent major champion.

I'm not impressed with the OG.Seed, I think their team is just for securing slot on TI because only one team from the same organization will be qualified if ever both of the OG teams will qualify for the next TI.

I thought that they will struggle with this first ever major qualifier that they join.

The thing is Sumail and Midone are one of the best players in the world. Especially Sumail has been practicing playing pos 1 since a few months ago.

Also, Notail and Ceb are great analysts and drafters. They can complete everything needed by great players. I think they are the most contributors to OG for winning TI 2 times since we know that the drafting phase and gameplay strategy are very important in a Dota 2 match.

Without doubt about being the best players, all of the best mid players come together in OG. Ceb is the guy that contributed most and Notail's strength is coming from Ceb's motivation as per as I've watched the both truesight.

But I'm wondering what will happen if Ana becomes active again in the team. Whether Sumail will leave the team or there will be a role change.

This is a question that we can't answer.

Would love to see the roster change on LGD into play, and also OG to see whether the chemistry between Sumail, Midone and Topson is already in the right mix. I don't have a doubt with their individual skillset, but knowing the positions they played for in their previous teams as a mid laner, we will see how one and the other adjusts. So far Sumail is doing some good dota in his role but for Midone? Not really. EG is also a good team with Ramzes. Just hope that he don't get cocky early on in the game that usually costed VP their games on their previous tourneys.

The right role of RAMZES should really be pos1 yet this had been his role in VP and i do see he is much better than Arteezy but well you cant stop on what the management would set it out.
About OGs chemistry i can really see that this would still takes time for this matter yet we know these midlaners players wont easily get used to another position or role as said
theyre capable when it comes to skills but changing lane or hero would really make some effects.

Does anyone also feel that Nigma is not qualified for this Major on purpose? I mean they want to be qualified by winning the Minor.

This has also happened before in the Leipzig Major. Nigma didn't qualified to Leipzig Major directly, but they went to Bukovel Minor and won.
I had predicted this before and I think it will happen again.

It seems they want to win more tournaments and get more money.

That is just one of the tournaments. The Dota Pro Circuit international called as The International or simply TI had a prize pool of 34 Million USD in 2019. That truly is some insane amount of money to imagine being won in a PC game for those who don't know about this..but like Celine Dion would say..Thats the way it is.. Grin

In other news Fnatic and GeekFam are the two teams that have qualified for the ESL one LA 2020. 14 more to go. Team Secret just beat down NiP (Ninjas in Pyjamas) in typical boss fashion.
