The Star Ladder Dota 2 Season 11 LAN Finals are right around the corner with a whopping $120,000+ prize pool just waiting to be snatched up by some of the world’s best Dota 2 teams.
The tournament will be a double elimination bracket with matches played in a best of three set with the grand finals wrapping up in a best of five set.
Unfortunately Cloud 9, Evil Geniuses & Team Secret have all decided to drop out, and on top of that, the Chinese teams, Invictus Gaming and CDEC Gaming, were denied Ukranian visas preventing them from traveling to the tournament. Replacing Invictus Gaming will be the Belarusian team Power Rangers, and replacing CDEC will be the Ukranian Natus Vincere.
