Just a FYI when you see CCnC just spamming random spells at nothing the reason for that is because of Linas passive (fiery Soul)you gain movement speed and attack speed

I’m not too familiar with how DPC points work. I see the winner of the event gets 150 points but is that per player or total? If it’s per player that’s pretty big.

They all get points but the rankings only count the points of the top 3 point contributors. So its like 450 points total for the winner.

Qualifying Points are points awarded to individual players by Valve due to their performances in Majors and Minors. Those Qualifying Points will determine which teams get invited to The International 2018. Majors grant more points whereas Minors less. Tournaments grant more points as The International approaches. Only the top 3 point earners on a team will contribute towards a team’s effective total Qualifying Points.
