    10 teams from Asia and 5 from China? Hope there will be more countries in DOTA2.

    Well all of the teams that are listed were well known for their skills and victory. Majority of the leagues being played where being dominated by the chinese teams! I'm just very excited on how Dota2 will looks like, and (as for my opinion) this will be epic compared to HoN or LoL.

    It will be released later this year as stated by the Valve's President (Gabe Newell) and Icefrog himself. ;)

    Valve knows how to promote a new game. HoN and LoL devs should probably be scared to death of a mass player exodus.

    I bet they are training 24/7 just for this event. Any screw ups in the event will probably lead to death penalty :D

    5 China? The chance of winning for China is high , 5/16 , 2 Europe , 9 are other countries.

    Man , wonder what they will do with 200k USD.

    Guess they'd better hope the Gongchandang doesn't let the RMB strengthen too much til then, huh XD

    Man, and I thought Starcraft in Korea was as good as it got...

    The good thing I see here is that every team that are listed doesn't tested this game yet (or has no idea what it looks like), so it's gonna be exciting to play it in the first time plus the huge prize pool that is included. :)

    Valve said gameplay and items are the same as the normal DotA. so it's just new graphics and animations they'd need to get used to.

    The mode for the match should be Classic Mode: Nothing changes from WC3 Dota (same parameters and unfix-able WC3 bugs).
