The full team list now looks as follows:

• Alliance
• Natus Vincere
• Vega Squadron
• Team Liquid
• Escape Gaming
• Virtus.pro
• The Imperial
• Team NP

NP are arguably the most well-known team among the new invitees, featuring the likes of Kurtis "Aui_2000" Ling, who won The International 5 with EG, as well as notorious carry player Jacky "EternaLEnVy" Mao. Though the team has had a rough start to their fall season as they failed to qualify for Northern Arena BEAT Invitational as they lost 3-2 to FDL in the closed qualifier.

VP are also well-known as a majority of their latest roster are former Vega Squadron players, only the Visage-picker Ilya "Lil" Ilyuk was a former VP player.

And least known is probably the full-Danish squad Imperial, formerly the Danish Bears, but Marcus "Ace" Hoelgaard and Christopher "Ryze" Winther were long-time teammates with famed support player Andreas Franck "Cr1t-" Nielsen on mousesports, Meet Your Makers and Lianghao.

DreamLeague Season 6 league player will kick off on Oct. 11, while the LAN finals will take on Nov. 25-26.
