1. Invictus Gaming. This Chinese team was formed in 2011 and is one of the biggest teams right now, winning The International 2 last year. Fun fact: Did you know that one of them is Malaysian?
Chuan, the Malaysian is on the far right.
2. Natus Vincere. Also known as Na'Vi, which translates as "born to win" in Latin, the Ukrainian-based eSports team will be looking to prove doubters wrong after getting so-so results in recent tournaments.
3. Team Empire. Based in Russia, this team swept the competition in the Major All Stars European qualifiers and will be looking to add another trophy to their shelf.
4. Invasion eSports. This Malaysian team was personally invited to join the competition and will be hoping to make Malaysians proud on home soil.
5. Team Redemption. Formerly known as Team Arrow, this Malaysian team qualified and will be hoping for a fresh start after being embroiled in a match fixing scandal last year.
6. Can't Say Wips. What do you get when you cross a Malaysian, two Indonesians and two Australians? You get Can't Say Wips, the only team from Oceania that qualified for this tournament.
7. Team Rave. This Filipino team has been making waves in the South East Asian scene. Managed by Koreans, the team became champions of the Korean Dota 2 League Season 4 last year.
8. Team eHug. Unlike other teams which are established and funded by companies, American-based eHug was founded by a group of anonymous Dota 2 fans passionate about the game.
