Since the two North American teams Evil Geniuses and Quantic Gaming withdrew from the Starladder, there is space for two other teams to participate: MeetYourMakers. We are glad that this chance to prove themselves even more is given to our new team.

Our team's manager David 'DrunKin' Pella has the following to say regarding his expectations and how the team prepares for the tournament:

"My team and I are aiming to get into the top 3 which is quite hard but not impossible, since we have already shown what we can do. Our practice schedule is quite simple, we practice against top tier teams 5 hours and more a day. Besides those practice times we also  have official matches. I think our chances in getting into the top 3 of this event are good . Thanks to Razer and Western Digital for the support!"

The finals will take place in the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, and will feature a total of $15,000 in prizes. Remember that $15,000 were already handed out in the online portion of the tournament. We wish the best of luck to all of the participants, which are:
