The fans have cast their votes. Amidst the generally unstable status of teams in the Dota 2 scene, they have voted for Team DK and Vici Gaming (VG) to go to the LAN finals of the i-league. Fans who contributed to the prize pool were given a chance to vote for which team they would like to see in the LAN finals. After a three-day voting period, total of 2,129 votes were tallied with the following results:
DK has been a fan favorite ever since its formation after The International 2013 (TI3). VG’s popularity, on the other hand, increased heading towards and during The International 2014 (TI4), where it finished second. Speaking of TI4, the scene has yet to be shaken (at least officially) by the post-TI4 shuffle, but change is likely coming. This means although VG and DK have won the fan vote, it is unlikely that we’ll be seeing the same roster at the i-league finals. I-league is also aware of this unstable phase and are allowing teams to use stand-in players.

DK and VG will be competing with six other teams—two teams from the Europe and US qualifiers, one team from the Southeast Asian and Korean qualifiers, and three teams from the Chinese qualifiers. The tournament schedule and details can be found here
