The Electronics Sports World Cup grand finals are just days away! This mark's DotA's entrance into it's first world-renowned large scale LAN tournament with high competition and high prizing.

Qualifiers all around the world have been completed, including the ESWC Masters of Paris event which served as an international qualifier and French qualifier.

ESWC will take part in the Nvision exhibition in San Jose, California at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.. This is the first year that ESWC will take part in USA, as in previous years it always took place in France. This is due to ESWC's main sponsor this year, NVISION.

pictureThe DotA tournament features teams from all over the world including Dreamhack champions SK-Gaming and ESTC Thailand champions KingSurf. While many teams who were expected to be there cannot attend, the attendance and competition is still very promising.

Groups were released a few days ago but must be reworked due to confusions with some teams that are not attending. Rather than 4 groups, the format has been changed to two groups with 6 teams each.

Fnatic's own Neha "Rinoa" Nair will be on-site at San Jose to bring you live coverage of the DotA tournament. Tune in to fnatic.com for previews, predictions, scores, pictures, blogs, interviews and much more!

no fnatic @ ESWC dota.
NEVER EVER host important tournaments like ESWC, WCG, etc in USA.
US Embassies screw them all!

I'd have to say the US is a bad location for most countries to get a visa too, i.e. if you survive the enormous costs to get there.

Excellent coverage. Such a pity about visas. Would have been great to have the Fnatic squad there.
