At least two slots are yet to be filled for this exciting event. The MLG Fall Invitational, which will be held Friday October 18th) will determine which team will fill one of these slots. The invitational can also be watched through MLG’s website, so check it out to see who else will compete at the MLG Championship.
The final slot, though, is from the Open Online Qualifier. This means that anyone who has a team can register now to compete in this qualifier, which will occur from September 28th through October 16th. The eight top teams from this qualifier will participate in an invitational qualifier with the teams finished 2nd-8th in the Fall MLG North American Dota 2 League from October 21st through November 6th to determine who will fill the final slot at the championship. So if you have a team, hurry up and get signed up for a chance at the MLG Championship!
