Although at TI7, several teams directly invited by V Club performed quite well, so that V Club decided to continue to use the direct invitation system, but when they talked about this matter again in the follow-up work meeting, they discussed different results.

No matter what kind of quota selection method is used, V Club ultimately hopes that each competition area can maintain a comparable level of competitiveness, and does not want a situation where one company dominates.

However, the China division of the 16-17 division was too dominant, with five teams entering the upper bracket, and in the knockout stage, no team was their opponent except for Liquid, and in the finals, it was once again staged in the China regional battle.

Although from the version update, V Society is already focusing on Serenity, but V Society is not stupid, they don't think that this is foolproof, and there must be other means to suppress the Chinese division.

Although the champions and runners-up should be given some preferential treatment in the new season, the method that V has come up with is to limit the number of places in the Chinese region, and the best way is to cancel the direct invitation system. As an official, V Society will naturally keep an eye on the situation in all regions.

And when they saw the transfer situation in the Chinese division, they were keenly aware that if they continued to use the invitation system, Serenity, and the new LGD, all of the three are likely to become direct invitation teams, and if the Chinese division makes another trip to bite the gold halfway, plus the pre-selection places that have to be allocated, TI8 may have seven Chinese teams to participate.

Six V clubs can still accept it, but how can seven do?

After some discussion, V Club finally decided to replace the "direct invitation system" with the "point ranking system", classify the events in the new season into Minor and Major, and give corresponding ranking points to all levels of events, and finally the points ranking of each team throughout the season will become his pass to participate in TI.

The top eight teams in the season will qualify directly, and the teams from the ninth place onwards will enter the TI qualifiers in each region to compete for TI spots, and the allocation of places will also be determined by V Club.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, such a form will not affect the ** group, because judging from the performance of TI7, as long as they have the strength, they will definitely be able to cut enough points to get TI tickets in this whole season.

The overall strength of the Chinese division is indeed strong enough, but they have Serenity and these two big devils, and the new LGD should not be underestimated after the run-in.

Once the new season begins, the V Club strictly controls the pre-selection places for each of the Minor and Major regions, and there is only one for each of the six major regions, and the direct invitation is still determined by the team's recent results.

Then the points of the Chinese division will inevitably be concentrated on these three teams, because of the existence of these three teams, other Chinese teams are likely to fail to reach the qualifiers.

Even if you Serenity and win the championship and runner-up for an entire season, why not?

As long as the top four have points, teams from other regions can rotate back and forth in the third or fourth place, and they can always get points, but those teams that may be very strong, but they can't make the qualifiers in China can't get a point!

According to this calculation, there is a high probability that there will only be three teams in the top eight final points of the whole season, Serenity and LGD, plus the two qualifiers allocated to the Chinese division later, and there are only five Chinese teams that finally appear in the TI8 field, even if there is an accident to become six, this is still an acceptable range for V Society.

The champion and runner-up divisions will not only not earn back more places in the new season, but will have one less, and the V Club plans to pass!

No matter how fresh the DPC is, it's still just a DPC. Perhaps in the eyes of professional teams, the competitions in which Serenity participates have considerable reference value, but in the eyes of ordinary viewers, they still cannot be compared with continental events.

Because the Bucharest Open will be the first Minor event after the restructuring, and the participating teams will receive TI points!

Because of this, when the DPC kicked off a week later, the day after TP's value doubled, the DPC schedule had to be temporarily suspended to make way for the upcoming Bucharest Open qualifiers.

Firstly, the version has just been updated, secondly, this is the first continental tournament of the new season, where the restructured teams will make their debuts, and the results of Minor are closely related to TI, all of which make this Bucharest Open highly anticipated by the audience.

Due to specification constraints, there are only eight teams competing in the main event of the Bucharest Open. Two of the eight teams will be invited, and the remaining six will be the winners of the qualifiers in China, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, CIS, North America and South America.

The two direct invitations had already been announced, and Serenity, who had won the title in a record time, was a natural deserved.

If it was only based on the results, then this second direct invitation place should have been, but in this way, the China division will directly obtain three more seats, which is contrary to the desire of the V Society division to balance the competitiveness, so in the end, this direct invitation place was allocated to North American Glory EG.

Serenity is still far ahead of the competition, and at first glance the scale of the event actually reduces the intensity of the competition and makes Serenity's championship seem within reach.

EG thinks so too.

However, the focus of the other teams that did not qualify directly was not on Serenity at this time, as there was only one qualifier for each region, making the first continental qualifier at the beginning of the season particularly brutal.

There were no accidents in the CIS region, and VP won the championship easily. The same is true for the South American Division and the Southeast Asian Division, and the South American Glory Infamous, which corresponds to EG, is difficult to meet opponents, and crushes all the way to the main competition, Mineski in the Southeast Asian Division is unique in the competition just by looking at the strength on paper, and there is naturally no suspense in the promotion.

In the Western European region, the two most favored teams before the tournament are Liquid and OG.

The former is the team with the best results in TI except for the Chinese team, and the new season's Liquid still maintains the lineup of last season, and its strength should not be underestimated. The latter, because of joining, has gained the expectations of more neutral passers-by.

But the result was unexpected by many viewers.

OG's run-in problem is huge, and Ceb, the coach-turned-player-turned-player No. 3 position, has staged a lower-limit play many times, but has not been able to fully integrate into the system that OG is used to, and finally went out early.

Although Liquid's strength has not declined, in the qualifier finals, Secret, who swapped positions in the first and second positions, became the one who had the last laugh and won the main event.

Coincidentally, there was also an accident in the North American region.

North American club Immortals has just established a dota 2 division for the new season, and although it is a new team, five members of the team are actually members of the original Korean MVP!

Although the strength of the MVP is not as good as the top first-class, it is definitely among the best in the second-rate team, and COL failed to keep the position of the second brother that has been maintained for many years, and unfortunately gave up the place in the main competition.

The final China Division......

LGD's run-in has increasingly improved with the naked eye, and until the qualifier finals, it has shown a super high level along the way, and even many foreign commentators have bluntly said that such LGD's victory has shown dominance after seeing the game between LGD and VG.

But it's a pity that this time in Bucharest Minor's direct invitation team, only Serenity, a Chinese team, still keeps the TI7 frame and stays at home to guard the goal.

The purpose of the V Society to suppress the Chinese team with the Chinese team has been achieved, and this time Minor, who stayed in the Chinese division to play the qualifiers, played the role of the goalkeeper who suppressed LGD and other Chinese teams, what if it came to the Major that opened up the quota?

will be directly invited to participate in the competition, then the liberated LGD will replace the role!

------Off topic------

As for the reason for the restructuring, I am here just to look reasonable, and don't really think that what I said is right......

Then to admit a mistake, the Bucharest minor is actually the second minor, the first one is the SL-i league played earlier, and the difference between the two is only about ten days.

Since 18 years, V has begun to have a clear concept of minor and major.,It was mentioned in the previous chapter that the direct invitation system was used.,But the modification function of the previous chapter was locked.。

I was still struggling at first and didn't know how to fix it, but then I found out that I was really an SB.

Because I'm writing, I'm not making a documentary......
