Finalists for Starladder VII

After the big slump of exciting games in the professional Dota 2 scene, we were finally able to see the big teams go at it again in through the Starladder VII tournament. As of the 1st of October, the finalists for the big event have been decided. The two TI3 (The International 3) grand finalists, Na'Vi and Alliance have made it up to the top 4, much to the pleasure of their fans as well as Team Empire and FlipQ which struck as a surprise because no one thought these two teams would make it up to the top. 

• Team Alliance had 13 points coming into the top 4 while the other 3 teams had 11 points each.

The games in the Starladder tournament were on par with the games in the TI3 and have stirred up the people who watch professional Dota 2. Rattlesnake.int (formerly known as Kaipi) were very close to making it to the top 4 had they won a couple more games the day before. If they had won these games, they would've made Na'Vi, Team Empire and FlipQ battle it out for a spot in the top 4. However, they narrowly lost, resulting in the current finalists lineup. 

Power Rangers

Team Empire

 
Teams worth mentioning because of the performance they gave in Starladder VII are Power Rangers and Team Empire. Power Rangers shocked everyone by defeating the two TI3 grand finalists, Na'Vi and Alliance. Team Empire's rise to the top 4 was also unbelievable since they had been such a quiet team coming into Starladder VII.

The Finals will begin on the 10th of October and are scheduled to finish by the 13th of October. 

Prize Pool:

1. $12,000
2. $6,000
3. $3,000
4. $1,500
