Team Liquid's opportunity (?) to kick Blitz
With Blitz taking a short break and missing the last big Dota 2 event of the year, Team Liquid will play with Mathis "Jabbz" Friesel standing-in as Head Coach. On the matter, ESL decided it was a great opportunity to say some beautiful things to the good boy William, which Michael "m1cke" Vu didn't hesitate to share.
A mission for Gaimin Gladiators

Team Falcons in the house!

9Pandas will be busy...
ESL ONE Kuala Lumpur organizers have prepared a very particular itinerary for the 9Pandas, who will be playing with a slightly different team composition: Starring Alik "V-Tune" Vorobei as their new Hard Carry, Andrei "Afoninje" Afonin as the Soft Support and the very unexpected return of Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev to the Offlane after 2 years of being a Carry player.

BTW, there's one in Spanish for Wawitas Sagazes
But don't worry, here's an attempt on translating this poem specially made for the South American qualified team.
From the heart, I write to you,
babies clever and so keen,
to remind you above all else,
that you are the most effective we've seen.
True, your team faced a rupture,
and the dream team didn't make amends,
but I'm glad that from that break,
emerged these babies, wise beyond trends.
It's challenging to express with certainty,
how tough, audacious,
these little ones can truly be,
known only for being sagacious.
Like a condor, I hope to see you,
in the tournament, the most daring,
devouring others' bodies,
like babies so sharply staring.
Fly and dream, my little ones,
never hesitate, always bold,
listen to your parents,
be the most tenacious, as you're told.
Your logo is an ordinary dog,
and writing well may not be your graces,
but you'll always be,
the most sagacious and perspicacious faces.
