Invictus and Royal Never Give Up qualify for ESL One Los Angeles 2020

The ESL One Los Angeles 2020 China Qualifiers is near its end, with Invictus Gaming and Royal Never Give Up securing spots at the Major.  

In the Semifinals, Invictus Gaming beat Team Aster 2-0 while Royal Never Give Up defeated EHOME 2-0 as well. Keen Gaming and Look For Smile also faced off in the Group A 4th-5th place tiebreaker, with the former being victorious. In Group B’s 3rd-4th place tiebreaker, CDEC Gaming lost to Newbee. 

During the Minor Qualifier Decider, Keen Gaming defeated CDEC Gaming 2-1, securing their place at the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 3 China Qualifier. Newbee and Avengerls received the 5th-6th place seed to the Minor as well. 

The ESL One Los Angeles Chinese qualifiers were previously postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus in the region. It had initially been scheduled to start on February 7, and this was even though the qualifiers are an online affair. As we approach the Major, the big question is, how will these players compete in the LAN when the US has already placed travel restrictions on China. 

Tomorrow Team Aster will face EHOME in the 3rd place match to determine the final seed for the Major. ESL One Los Angeles 2020 will take place from March 14-22, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.
