Format for the Dota Western Europe and China Regional Qualifiers
The format will feature all teams that participated in lower and upper division of the DPC. The Regional Qualifier will be a double elimination bracket, where only one team makes it out. Teams that were in the upper division will get to start in the upper bracket and will face a lower division team in the first round. The lower bracket will allow a bye for the highest seeded lower division teams. The byes will vary due to the fact that the number of teams directly invited to The International will vary between regions.
