There's 5 dates of qualifiers. There's 5 majors and minors. Major quals happen before minors so it's a reasonable assumption that that would be for the major quals

POYO AND TEAR
For those of you who are unable to click links (emphasis mine):

quote:

How are qualifiers different this year? NEW
This year we have combined both the Majors and Minors qualifiers into a single, shorter one, reducing complexity and time for players and organizers, and allowing to both give extra time to rest to players after a Major is over without majorly compromising the time for players in the minor to get visas when required.
They also detail the format:
Teams: 10 per region; top 8 from DPC in that region plus 2 open qualifiers
Phase 1: 2 round-robin bo2 groups of 5, top 2 advance to phase 2, 3rd place advances to phase 3, if the region has extra slots then one or both 4th place teams advance to phase 3
Phase 2: 4 team double-elimination, top 2-3 advance to major
Phase 3: 4 team double-elimination, top 1-2 advance to minor
All qualifier teams also get at least some DPC points.

He forgot to threaten Valve.

Also apparently dates wouldve been fine if Midas didn't shift back 3 days.

Jerax had an interview with a Finnish site where he said that most of OG is on vacation and they probably won't compete together at TI10.

Is there any additional context or it characterized as a gut feeling he has?

If anyone doesn't come back it would be Ana? I wouldn't add any significant weight to statements this close to winning.

Idk, there's more content than that. Jerax said he'd really like to move on from DotA to some other new game but the new game doesn't exist. Take from that as you will.

Cutty approves.
Valve has legitimately become so much better about interacting with the Dota playerbase these lqst ~4 months. Almost like they saw how well it worked for Underlords and remembered that 90% of the requests from 90% of the players were totally reasonable.
