EPTOn the 28th, wildcard matches will begin featuring from China HGT, Wings, SPG, EP, and from Europe teams Na`Vi and PR. They battle for two spots in the event proper. Naturally we begin our discussion with the wildcard teams.

At the forefront are DSPL champions--team Wings. This team has two 16 year olds as well as seasoned veterans bLink and hdhp. During WPC last year, the two 16 year olds played with dream team DK to defeat Titan and received much attention. Under the Wings banner in DSPL they valiantly achieved a 17-1 record, showing this team possesses what it takes to join the tier one teams.
Regrettably, at the DAC wildcards the two 16 year olds faith_bian and y will be replaced by liuliju and zp.
Roster: hdhp, bLink, YouknowJDH, zp, liuliju
Battle Capacity: ：★★★★★

Although EP club already has a long tradition, its Dota 2 division has only been around a short half year. Prior to DSPL they were just a pick-up online team, but offline without hesitation they achieved tournament rights.
luffy is from former Orenda, and little2thunder and LT are old tyloo members. Although they are old players, other than 91 LT and 92 luffy, the others are born after 93.
Relatively speaking, this is a young team with a lack of offline experience. Wish that they can seize this opportunity to prove themselves and obstruct Na`Vi and PR's movements.
Roster: luffy, little2thunder, YYY, LE, LT

Former LaiG: xdd、xtt、super、5400、XZ
Battle Capacity: ★★★★★
Self-formed LaiG from the get go exploded with force. Their unique style of killing without tower-taking and saying-is-doing image left us a deep impression. After xtt left, LGD/LV Lin joined in easily and their mad killing style continued.
LaiG's performance in the qualifier is praiseworthy. On the final day they still had an opportunity to qualify. In the life-or-death match with Big God, they were just missing one trick. The first game Lin's Axe refused to spin when he was supposed to, and in the second game against xiao8's perfect tempo SF they were helpless. In the end, suffering a 2-0 defeat, they had to give up the qualifier spot to the old veterans, truly unfortunate.
Qualifier Performance: ★★★
Battle Capacity: ★★★★
Roster: XDD, Super, XZ, 5400, Lin

One Way, ChaoYue, Iwy, Piao, MelodyLovers
SPG is the only team who fought their way back during the latter half of the qualifier and for that should be commended. Since joining SPG, this SBwen-reincarnated team has steadily tread forward. In the day of ever-changing Dota rosters, SPG amazingly didn't change. Team cohesion and faith is their greatest strength.
Being able to compete with tier 2 bellwethers CDEC and LV, even defeating VG in SL11 qualifier and Newbee in i-League qualifier, we can say this team has limitless potential. In the DAC qualifier they were only two victories from directly entering the tournament, but we have reason to believe they can block the western teams from a swift advance in the wildcards.
Qualifier Performance: ★★★★
Battle Capacity: ★★★★★
Roster: One Way, ChaoYue, Iwy, piaojie, MelodyLovers

DG (Dream Gaming) is an amateur team that's caught our attention, but Sina Supernova Cup is their only commendable achievement. [was there some amateur division?] During DAC we also couldn't really call their play brilliant, but defeating DK and taking a point from SPG and HGT is worth some praise. Especially in the last match with BG to deny the latter qualification, they gave us two exciting and precious games.
Qualifier Performance: ★★
Battle Capacity: ★★★
Roster: k, wave, kirr, demons, code name specter

Regarding this new DK team, how can the editor best put it? At the start this team had Dota1 ladder stars qianqian goddess and kun brother, who due to undisclosable reasons left the team. But still, B-emperor favored Dreamyu and For.love's old captain hanci both have abundant experience and are old veterans. Why then, is there now only left the indescribably long-suffering 4 position CTY to stay the situation? And don't even mention the certain members who after finishing a match immediately rush to play RPGs. It's no wonder that after a hard-won match, CTY can only chuckle and simper.
This DK team is also the only Chinese team in DAC to place after SEA teams. It seems it is powerless to carry on that Yunnan motley team's supreme glory.
Qualifier Performance: ★
Battle Capacity: ★★
Roster: CTY, Dreamyu, hanci, XBG, BlackZ
