After the cancellation of the Last Chance Qualifier, Team Secret and Team Liquid have been invited to participate at the SL i-League Star Series

SL i-League Star Series is set to happen from the 15 to 17 of January at the Minsk arena with over 12 of the best teams taking part in it. The cancellation of the Last Chance Qualifier has led the organizers to invite Team Secret and Team Liquid. The regional qualifers saw through the qualification of the other 8 teams and Evil Geniuses being the first of the direct invites.

Team Secret, who are currently not in the best shape have been having a lot of difficulties in finding their form. After dominating performances at tournaments like The Frankfurt Major, MLG, Nanyang Championship and ESL One New York, their early exit at the WCA 2015 and dismal performances at the Star Ladder qualifiers has put Team Secret in a tough spot. Clement "Puppey" Ivanov and his boys ,true to their potential, have proved their skill in several instances and it’s just a matter of time before they regain their form.

Team Liquid, a team with lot of potential and skill have produced lukewarm results in tournaments so far. A star studded line-up led by Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi, won the The Defense Season 5 recently in their notable LAN performance where they defeated OG  3 -1 and finished third at the WCA 2015. Team Liquid might have not performed up to their expectation until now but they are certainly looking deadlier day by day and might be the team to watch out for at the SL i-League Star Series.
