Before announcing the EG invitation, the previous ESL (27/03) announced Newbee as the second invitation for this one tournament.
Newbee itself has stolen many prestigious trophies since it began its journey in 2014, such as The International 2014 (TI4), Perfect World Masters 2017, and ESL One Genting 2018. They also actually almost scored a record and become world champion Dota 2 two times when dealing with Team Liquid at The International 2017 (TI7).
As for EG, they still have to collect the DPC point before it is entitled to accept the invitation to TI8 but their performance later made this team is noticed by ESL.
EG is also not less than Newbee from a matter of world-class achievement. They are the champions of TI5 , DAC 2015 , and The Manila Masters 2017 .
Both teams will join Virtus.pro who has received the first invitation (23/03) to compete in ESL One Birmingham for a total prize of US $ 1 million and 1500 DPC Point .
