Another fake tournament on New Year Eve?
On the New Year holidays, most of the professional Dota 2 teams went on a deserved rest. Only the Chinese region continues to delight us with the Huya Dota2 Winter Invitational going right now. But suddenly, there was information about the Elite Tournament, which should begin on December 26 and bring together eminent teams of the American region. It includes Quincy Crew, 4 Zoomers, CR4ZY that was disbanded in October, and the Brazilian guys from Havan Liberty, who play under the Midas Club tag for a long time. The prize fund of the event must be $20,000.
As a website that publishes only the relevant schedule, we became very interested in how it could happen that we missed the announcement of such a significant tournament in the American region, which will occur right in the New Year holidays. To understand this situation, we asked for a comment from the representatives of the teams participating in the Elite Tournament and received an exhaustive answer.
Thunder Predator team manager, Eduardo Ku Bustios, said that neither he nor his team had heard of the Elite Tournament. And in general, they are all on vacation until the start of the DPC season.
Interestingly, some schedule aggregators have already added this tournament, and some bookmakers have even started accepting bets on the Elite Tournament.
