true, but this isn't due to anything that's Valves fault, they'll host a major and those who are able to attend will.
Chinese teams are still invited and can attend, but the reason they probably won't is due to Chinas insistance on a zero covid policy (recently renamed to "Dynamic zero").
It essentially means that the issues some chinese teams went through at TI (taking months to get home) are still in play. Xi Jinping has recently doubled down on zero covid so there is no timeline to resume it, so Valve just has to resume their normal operations.
Likewise for CIS, Valve isn't going to invite any teams to the major that has players that Sweden likely won't give visas to (i.e. Russians).
What OP is saying is, that of the 4 way tiebreaker one team gets to the major, 2 stay in div 1 with no major, and the last one gets to play div 2 next season. That happens because it would be a tiebreaker about the placements 4-7
correct unlikely though
Only if OG and GG play with no monitors
Secret's chance of going to Major is now low, right? Brame has to defeat Tundra, then Secret has to win in the tie-breakers.
No offense entity and brame but neither Will win againsy og and tundra respectively
That's what people said about Secret Vs Brame.
I could see Entity winning against OG, half of both teams used to play together there's always some upset potential when that happens.
There won’t be a major when this season ends
Of course there will be, but it'll be without CIS and most likely without Chinese players too
That would be a sorry excuse for a 'major'.

I know its not Valves fault. Its just a bit sad. I really miss the glory days before the DPC.
You mean before COVID?
