I love this tournament because of no Direct Invite, all will go to qualifiers and be a champion on a minor.
Qualifiers for every regions already started with lot of new teams popping. Some high tier teams just falling with new team in qualifiers.

Some team/people give positive feedbacks but there are some who also give negative feedback. But if I remember correctly, there are more positive feedbacks than negative feedbacks.
Yeah, it's totally good for everyone. And that will also give some teams a chance, especially those non-pro players or just started to the tournament, it's good to help your performance, fighting on some pro/tier teams, what an experience of that. As I recalled, on some match of OG, first game of MidOne on OG was bloody, he got first blood by Guardian rank
.
Bring it on, what team you rooting for?
Also, seeing Team Secret beating Nigma and OG beating EG is an emotional pleasure (if you know what I mean
).
Top 10 anime betrayal, eh?
Good to see some unpredictable matches, yet I am still not trying to bet on some qualifiers match, kinda scary af!
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 was asking around for something like this with betting on online games. It'd be a good side distraction to follow the DoTA championships and have the option to bet with crypto. The fascination for me in esports is mainly due to the wide difference it has compared to countries like India etc.
The culture of Esports having the potential to be a career opportunity is something that doesn't find much resonance in my society even though I know it is something that a lot of people would love to do. Following the journeys of the "stars" of these esports is as fascinating as the game itself.
Just consider eSports as Sports, we are now in 2020, as we can see, eSports are hell yeah evolving. Look at now, large prize pools.
And just recently in Southeast Asian Games, some eSports games had a gold medal. In terms of career opportunity, you can still have them, I am excited how eSports will grow in the upcoming years.
