Happy Friday!
The newly formed OpTic Gaming have had a strong start into the season, qualifying for The Summit 8 by winning Beyond The Summit's King's Cup series.

Another Minor is on the horizon, as Perfect World announce the first Minor in China. The Perfect World Masters will see 10 teams compete for 300 qualifying points and $300,000 USD prizemoney. Three teams have been directly invited, namely Newbee, LGD.Forever Young and Team Secret. Unlike other Minors and Majors that have been announced thus far, the Perfect World Masters will feature more than just six qualifying teams. A seventh team will be able to qualify through China.

Ukrainian esports organization Natus Vincere has gotten off to a great start into the season, qualifying for two Minors. Dominating performances allowed Na'Vi to run through the SLTV i-League Invitational Season 3 with ease and they will return to Kiev's Cyberarena SL in early October. Shortly after they'll fly out to Bucharest to represent the CIS region at the PGL Open Bucharest .

The Dire need a sponsor asap, any organization who passes them up is seriously making a mistake.

NA'VI DAVI!
Na'Vi lost 2-1 to Virtus Pro, eliminating them from contention for the CIS spot to the ESL Major(1st major of the year), but they looked really strong until then, and even fought hard against an established tier 1 team in VP. "Na'Vi is back" isn't quite there yet, but this iteration of the squad seems to be the most promising among the previous attempts to revive this team. Also, Dendi the living legend, his play has been insane
Navi just lost to empire, 0-2 at dota pit
