After a multitude of delays, the Starladder.tv site has finally updated with an official countdown towards the launch of the Starladder.tv Bloodline Champions league, and with it Cyberarena.tv announced the details of the league, along with the final invited teams.

Firstly, qualification for the Star Series is divided into two separate opportunities: aside from the Open Qualifiers, which will be run from the Starladder.tv website, make use of their tournament systems, and decide 4 of the available qualification spots, another 4 will be decided through the in-game tournament system on the Russian client. Sadly, these latter spots may only be filled by eligible Russian-speaking countries. The Starladder.tv Open Qualifiers should be open to all contestants.
