looking into the eastern qualifier:
Tier 1: MithTrust AEON Tongfu
Tier 2: Mineski WE Duskbin
Tier 3: the rest

Thoughts: MithTrust is a familiar name here. They had pretty decent result in the last international and remain one of the strongest team in the eastern scene atm. If icefrog didnt invite iG/LGD for marketing reason, MiTHtrust definitely would get an invite spot instead of having play through qualifier. 1-0 AL in one of their latest game, the team should have the highest seed among all in this tourney. This also applied to AEON as well, being overshadow by Zenith and Orange, their wins over DK and AL a week ago simply proves that Sing-Malay is still one of the best source of quality dota player in the world. Much to expect from this legend team tag. Tongfu isnt a big name in the current dota2 scene but they are a force to be reckon with in the dota1 chinese scene. Given this chance to grab 1 million dollars, who know how much they would invest into practicing for this. The rest of the teams including WE and a bunch of Pinoy dota represent has not shown much result in dota2 yet. There are still hope and a giant fan base behind each team but the chance are slim.

my pick who will win: MithTrust

Western:
Tier1: Mouz mTw
Tier2: Next.Kz VP Quantic
Tier3: the rest

Thought on western: Even though im deviding teams out of tiers, they are all pretty close in term of skill level. Top spot for Mouz and mTw simply bc of their recent success vs seeded TI2 teams. Mouz and Keita are quite even in term of skill level but notice how mouz line up just recently went through some SICK changes and they still manage to pull off such result. They also will be playing this qualifier in a LAN environment (they have a boot camp on 6th) so ranking top should not be questioned. mTw also has some SICK win recently and their line up seems stronger than ever. Notice how Synderen has stopped his streaming for the past month in order to hide their strats. The only weakness they are currently have is their play style is quite aggressive with focus on some strong solo mid control heroes such as QoP, Invoker or NS. This will give them a hard time going against some good turtle farmer chinese style (which is seen in teams like NextKZ). NextKZ, quantic and VP are all quite unstable in their game atm. Out of the 3 teams i would rank Quantic the highest but since they are an US based team, sever will be the deciding factor.

Predict who will win: mTw or Keita, quite a tough choice but i will go with mTw for the most part.

I think its an insult to put Quantic at the same level as VP in the upcoming qual

Quantic and mTw are probably the Tier 1, with next.kz and mouz tier 2, VP is tier 3, with the rest at tier 4. VP hasn't shown shit since they got this new lineup, except loss after loss.

Right that Dota 2 bundle you can buy for £24.99 is that something you can buy gift to a friend and then they have access to the beta or it gives you early access to when the game actually comes out?
