Team Liquid was one of the teams receiving an invite to the Starseries & I-League Season 7. The team which recently won the IBuyPower Masters IV, however, has decided to withdraw their participation from the Chinese event. They have attributed this decision to a very busy schedule, one which will see them travelling to various continents over the course of the next few months.
The Starseries & I-League Season 7 is a sixteen team event and will take place in Shanghai. It has a prize pool of $500,000 which is a significant increase over Season 6’s $300,000. The tournament will take place in collaboration with IMBATV. It will take place from the 30th of March till the 7th of April, 2019.
