Dota Pit has announced that Elements Pro Gaming will replace Wings Gaming as the final team for Dota Pit Season 5 LAN Finals.
Less than a week ago Wings Gaming had officially withdrawn from DotaPit season 5 LAN final citing they did not enough time for the team to secure before or after their participation in ESL One Genting in Malaysia January 6th – 8th.
The Balkan based team – featuring one local player from Croatia and four players from Serbia will step up to bat and compete for their share of the $125,000 base prize pool.
Elements has made only one change in their roster since August – bringing Konstantin “kole” Jancetovic on board in place of Milan “MiLAN” Kozomara. No doubt that local fans will be excited to cheer for a home team from their own region including Damir “Mitch” Škaričić, local star.
Dota Pit Season 5 LAN Finals
This season only two teams have been directly invited instead of four as in Season 4. China will be able to participate with their own qualifier sending a representative from the region and CIS will have their own qualifier to send a team from.
Six teams will qualify from the groups in each of the regions, joining the two directly invited teams – Digital Chaos and one TBD to compete in the The Dota Pit League Season 5 LAN event scheduled to take place January 19-22nd.
The eight teams will compete for the $125,000 base prize pool that can be increased through in-game ticket sales on sale for $1.99 HERE and sets available soon.
